    Easy checkin process. Room was ok. Shower was cramped. Tv was not set up to use. Didn't try the sauna but it looked functional. Hallways give "The Shining" vibes.

    I like to avoid chains. This hotel has been in business going back decades. The staff are friendly and helpful. Michael checked me in and lent his bottle opener for me to use for my stay. The hotel has a modern aesthetic. The room is black white and red with gold. The shower was my sole concern. It was poorly designed, in that the controls cannot be reached without you getting wet. They are on the opposite side of the entrance. The showerhead is ginormous. There is no reaching around it. I had no choice, but get my hair wet when I had no intention to shampoo.

    I reserved three rooms at Inn At Highway 1. Overall, the property's appearance was clean, but one of the rooms had a serious issue. When we returned late in the evening, we found roaches crawling on the nightstand and I was able to kill one. I reported this to the front desk and spoke with Cyndie. Her response was dismissive and came across as blaming, she said the prior guests "had no complaints," and after I showed her the video and photos I took, she suggested they "probably got in from the outside through the door," as if it were acceptable for roaches to be in the room. Cyndie stated she would notify the property manager, Rashad, and call me back. I followed up later that day and was told she still had not been able to reach him. It has now been almost a week, and I have not heard back from Cyndie or the property manager regarding the roach problem. I'm sharing this so other guests can make an informed decision. I would not recommend staying here unless the pest issue is addressed and management improves how concerns are handled. I also believe a response from management and an appropriate adjustment/refund for the affected room is warranted.

    The receptionist was rude. The second we walked in the door, he first thing she said was I need to see your ID. I asked why did I have to fill out all that information online and upload my ID and selfie then? She got defensive and said "oh you pre-registered? You just had to tell me that!" She then proceeded to ask "what is your name? Karen?" Intentional. Maybe. My name does start with a K. We got there at 3:30 and the room wasn't ready. Check in is after 3:00. She said they'll be ready in about 10 minutes but we'll have clean sheets and pillowcases on the beds and make sure it's clean for you. My mom jokingly said "Well I should hope so!" So we sat in the lobby to wait and she was standing there the whole time. After about 15 minutes I asked if they were going to call when it was ready and she said "you can go up now if you want" nah. We'll just sit here with out luggage staring at each other longer. Then we get in the room and I went to use the bathroom and there, on the wall next to the toilet, t looks like someone sprayed diarrhea on the bathroom wall. We went to get the cleaning lady in the hall, and told her. She didn't speak English but she came and looked. She left and a supervisor came back to ask what the problem was. We thought the visual was self explanatory. No English required. The supervisor saw it and said "Shit". Exactly. Then she went to get the cleaning lady to clean it. She almost got it all. The dried on accumulation of dripped conditioner on the wall wouldn't be a huge problem because it's just conditioner, but the fact that we were waiting in the lobby for them to clean the room and then this was on the shower wall indicated to me that they didn't even clean the shower before we came in. The bathroom sink was clogged and would fill in the time it took us to wash our face.The room was super noisy. The hardwood floors everywhere made the housekeeping staff yelling down the hall to each other and rolling their noisy carts back-and-forth by the room so loud you couldn't even hear the television. One of the queen beds was OK the other one had a noticeable dip in the mattress. It was odd that they only serve breakfast Monday through Friday from 6 to 8 AM. I don't know what you do if you stay there on weekends. The food was OK. Could've been warmer. And could've done without the hair in the butter. Bottom line...What I stay here again? Absolutely not. I was tempted to leave immediately and ask for our money back, but I didn't want to deal with it.

    Stayed here while visiting family. Hotel does not have staff on premises in the evening hours until morning for issues such as card not working. The owner blamed me saying I deactivated my card some how. Mattress was found to be very stained. When Expedia asked me to do a review on their site I did so and the "owner" responded very hostile as he/she did with every negative review blaming the customer for all items wrong. I would not recommend this place for anyone.

    Ceiling fan and light... no AC or heat in room.

    I'm pulling hard on this review to give the Inn at Highway 1 a three star review. While it would easily slide to a 2 star... and conversely, not push to a 4 star without prevarication... I'm deliberately applying a couple of lenses to this which may or may not apply to you, but they are true. Read on, if you dare. We made reservations on Booking.com, and considering the Memorial Day weekend rates, got a reasonable price. I try to stay exclusively at well-known hotel chains, where a bad experience at least offers some recompense from corporate. With only a two night stay planned, and throwing caution to the wind, I broke my own rule with this one. Lompoc is a quaint and rather simple community; this motel matches its surroundings. A two story building that looks like it was originally conceived as a low cost apartment building, the "Inn" has no pool, business center, workout room-- just rooms. The small office at the front was staffed by a very nice lady with a good sense of humor, so there's that. When we entered our room, the first thing I noticed was a strong chemical cleaner smell. As I stepped in, the vinyl fake-wood floors were greasy-slippery, as if they had been mopped with the wrong cleanser and air dried to a thick waxy film. Throughout our stay, I walked gingerly... like I was walking in a restaurant kitchen without non-slip shoes. The room featured a small table with two chairs, a ceiling fan, a king size bed (more on that later), night stands with lamps, a wardrobe/fridge/microwave/tv wall unit thing with drawers, and a giant bathroom with a massive shower. Maybe we got an ADA room? There was a shower seat in the shower, but no hand rails around the toilet. Towels, Soaps and shampoos were minimal. Hot water and good pressure. Fresh paint in and out of the building. The TV flatscreen was tiny, but my HDMI/computer combo worked to watch Netflix, so that helped. The bed: a king. I always lift the mattress and do a thorough bed bug check and there were No bugs! I pulled a drawer out of the wall unit-- no critters, no bugs, no filth. To their credit, the place was clean, despite the slippery build up on the floors. The mattress was old, a little beat up in the corners, and covered with basic linens-- again, adequate but nothing fancy. A look under the bed revealed that the center of the frame was held up with a pile of 2x4s (see photo). Again to their credit, the "repair" worked. Smallish pillows, but our busy and active days meant we fell asleep pretty quickly and got up early. I've slept in many better beds, but a few that were genuinely worse. I went to turn on the heater-- there wasn't one! See photograph showing the 220 plug in the wall but no AC/heater unit. And then it sort of hit me: they're trying to fix this joint up. A cursory internet search revealed the property has recently been sold, and ostensibly, the owners are fixing the place up. Older Yelp reviews demonstrate it was a 1 Star place, but that was not my assessment in 2019. The ACs haven't been installed... yet? The beds have not been replaced... yet? The shower featured new tile work and a new plate glass door... the bathroom had new countertops, but a tiny older toilet and a strange layout. All that to say... this is a couple steps below what I'm used to. If we had the kids with us, it would have sucked... but for a two night stay with my adventurous better half of 15 years, it was worth the story of having stayed there. Can't imagine I'll be back in Lompoc anytime soon, which predicates that I won't stay here again anytime soon, either. My guess is it is improving over time, but relativity being what it is, your satisfaction -- and number-of-stars experience-- may vary from mine.

I honestly can't remember another hotel having one, and it was really nice to put my feet up after arriving. Parking was also convenient and close to the room. I enjoyed the complimentary happy hour drinks and ordered the fish and chips for about $17. They were tasty and cooked to order, although the fish seemed like a frozen, pre breaded product. The portion was small, with two pieces of fish, but the coleslaw was fresh and tasty. Considering the price and the two free drinks, I thought it was a good value. The bartender was very friendly. The breakfast was disappointing. The scrambled eggs were oily and the sausage was the mass produced type I don't care for. The sourdough toast was fine. I was glad breakfast was included because I would have sent it back if I had paid for it. The bistro coffee wasn't very good either, but the Keurig at the front desk was a better option. Overall, I had a quiet night and would stay here again. The property is older, but the friendly staff, convenient parking, room amenities and complimentary happy hour make it a good value.

The elevator was slow, but our halls were quiet. I felt like we were the only ones staying in our building and maybe we were. lol The breakfast room wasn't too far a walk, as it was in the same building near the pool. You need a key to get in there which I liked! Sometimes you don't want random people eating for free you know. Breakfast was a fully breakfast, and the lady kept everything clean and coming out. However, she was slow to refill and the eggs and bacon were a little oddly cooked. Like some of the thinnest bacon I've ever seen and the eggs were kind of rubbery. I did like the blueberry waffle mix though. And the fountain drinks were nasty! Checkin was smooth and the older black lady who helped us is super helpful and nice! They had the lobby festively decorated too for the holidays! Price was great for the sized room we have.

Unfortunately, the condition of the room was far from what I expected. To start with the positives, both the evening and morning front desk associates were friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. However, that was where the good experience ended. The room itself was in very poor condition. The lampshades were visibly dirty, and one even appeared to have what looked like a speck of blood on it. There was a thick layer of dust--about an inch--on the back side of the TV, which made it clear that the room hadn't been properly cleaned in quite some time. One of the "clean" towels had visible skid marks on it, which was honestly shocking and unacceptable. It didn't stop there--there was mold above the door and also on the bathroom wall. Then, upon checking out in the morning, I noticed a tissue hanging from the ceiling in the shower. That was the final straw. I did inform the front desk associate when I checked out, but I'm still stunned at the overall state of the room. This goes beyond a simple oversight--it reflects a serious lack of upkeep and attention to cleanliness. I hope Red Roof Inn takes a closer look at this location and invests in the maintenance and sanitation it clearly needs. Guests should not have to question basic cleanliness when staying at a hotel.

We arrived in late evening and were greeted by Jacob who was friendly, pleasant and welcoming. Check in was quick and seamless. We arrived to a first floor double room.

There a were couple of aesthethic things...but whatever its a 1 star hotel! The dryer was gone, there was one missing art frame (the had art frames!!!) and there were three wall repairs that were visible... but they were fixed and while the pain didnt quite match, it was clear an effort was made (and would you paint an entire room just for the pain to match or fix it until you're able to do it if you were running a business???!!....... Exactly!). The bed was comfortable although too soft and likely needs to be flipped or rotated. I'm used to my tempur pedic . There was a bit of a slight smell to the room, but it was more like ciagrette than anything...if was mild but noticeable... if it's something that would bother you bring febreeze or an air freshener. We noticed it and forgot about it even though we are sensitive to "scents." The room came with a 32inch (?) TV with dish cable and were able to watch some of our favorite shows including the Golden Girls! Lol...(yes even my millennial generation loves the golden girls!). We ended up booking a 2nd night for half the price for a single queen room. Which had a single queen, a nice small table with two nice faux leather chairs, and a TV that in addition to DISH cable came with Roku..but Internet was slower than I'm used to (I'm used to the fastest). We had difficulty with getting to regular TV because the previous patrons disconnected the cable HDMI. We couldn't figure it out so we called the front desk and Jacob was there within 2 minutes (yes!! 2 minutes, I don't even get this at a 5 start hotel!), he quickly set it all back up for us and even quickly showed us how to use both cable and Roku controllers. What exceptional service!!! This was room had no missing art frames had less patron damage than the first and had upgraded mini fridge. Both rooms came equipped with microwave, iron and ironing board, hangers in an open closet, a mini fridge, free wifi, free cable, and free Roku (access to Netflix, Hulu, Showtime in the 2nd room!) AND I especially loved the recycling containers!!! Both nights we woke up rested, checkout was the easiest! Leave the key and lock the door. For this 1 star hotel, just 17 miles from Solvang, with friendly and fast service it deserves more than a 5 star review.
