Travelodge Lompoc

My wife and I stayed here overnight recently and loved it! The room was nicely upgraded and tastefully decorated. To tell you the truth it had a boutique hotel vibe to it! Everything was clean and the bed was actually quite comfortable with nice linens. The bathroom had nice modern tile and was very clean. All in all it was quiet and much nicer than we expected and it is within a short walking distance to the Lompoc Wine Ghetto which we also loved and enjoyed! We will definitely come back and stay here again and very much recommend it!

A double room — 2 double beds, microwave, refrigerator, TV and dresser and bathroom. The room was very small but actually one of the nicest stays I’ve had in a long long time. It was clean, the bathroom/​tv/​fridge/​microwave were very nice and modern and the beds/​pillows were actually the most comfortable I’ve slept on in a hotel ever. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful. Overall it was tiny and looked like a hole-​in-​the-​wall motel but it was clean, very comfortable and very much worth the price.

I was on a roadtrip with my children visiting Solvang, they want to stay in a hotel that had a heated pool and ofcourse Solvang has no vacancy anywhere. So I came acrros travel lodge via
, since it was not too far from Solvang. On the tavelodge site it said they had a heated pool. I was charged $ 160 a friday night for two beds.
Problem #1: When I checked in I asked the front desk gentleman if the pool was heated, he responded «well it is but its not hot but it is kind of heated». We go to the room to the kids immediately run to the pool and jump in, the water was freezing cold and dirty. I go to the office, and ask teh gentleman if he coudl turn on the heater. He turned to a housekeeper if she knew where the thermostat was and she said no, he then informed me that the pool guy does that and he is not in unitl Monday. So I asked him if anyone cleans the pool, he told me the pool guy does on Monday.
Problem #2: The bathroom smelled bad and the shower tiles had mold. When I told the front desk the gentleman told me it was not mold, he explained that the previous owner used caulking which he shouldn’t have and its the caulking that is coming out. I asked for disenfected to put in the shower becasue my chidlren wanted to take a shower. Housekeeper came in and poured a pink liquid which she said was disenfected. I left to get food and left my chidlren with grandma, my 9 year old went in to take a shower. I get a call from him telling me the water is cold, I instructed him to look for the hosuekeeper and ask for some assistance. When I returned about 25 minutes later, my son is shivering in the room. I turned on the water and what the housekeeper said was warm WAS NOT, it was cold. I reported it to the front desk, he then said he had to check if another room was clean to move us (its about 4:30pm). He came back about 10 minutes later with another key. The new room had very dirty carpet, but needless to say it had hot water. My son return from the trip SICK!!!
I called Windham to complain, I was told management would call me by the 8^th of July, I am still waiting. Horrible, I woudl not stay here again. For $ 160 I expected better service and stay.

Very small rooms, 2 double bed barely fit in. Clean, somewhat soft beds. Clean bathroom. Place is right next time a 24 hrs gas station and very loud. Very friendly front desk staff. I would have given 3 stars if not for the value. Paid $ 170 for a double room, with was worth maybe 75 or 80. Will not come again

This place is terrible. The two bed unit is so small, the room smelled, the bed was mushy, the hair dryer did not work and when I called to see if they could bring me one, Annette, one of the night people told me «Walmart is still open, you can go buy one yourself». This place needs to be torn down and rebuilt!

Horrible! No hot water! Left the water running for 5 minutes and still couldn’t shower!

I wasn’t all that happy, honestly. Maybe it was just me but I didn’t like the smell in my room, it was also very stuffy. It appears the upstairs rooms have carpet and the downstairs have wood floors, which makes sense. Room had a small round table to sit at, which wasn’t ideal for working on a laptop with paperwork and other gadgets. Big issue was noise, primarily from the highway nearby. You could also hear anyone in the parking lot. Not recommended if you are a light sleeper. It’s a «you get what you pay for».

This place is a one star hotel in my opinion. I checked into one room after having to wait because «the system» was down. Sitting around and having to wait a half hour before checking in after traveling is not what ppl wanna do. Anyways, I get into the cubicle of a room. The pillow case on one pillow looked like they kicked it around the parking lot then laid it on the bed. The duvet cover on the down comforter had a small bit of dry blood on it and several stains all over it. Clearly this had not need changed prior to renting out the room. If it was washed the stains would not have been there. I changed rooms after showing them the room. I go in And again, it was gross. More stains on the down comforter except this time there was actually crusty stuff on the underside of it and the pillow cases had stains on them. Now I know this is a cheap hotel and you pay for what you get, but tho place is unexceptable and gross. They changed the sheets and gave me a comforter from 1960 w cigarette holes and burns. Don’t stay here if you expect a smooth check in and clean rooms. The staff was polite. I’ll give that as my edit.

Absolutely terrible. We were the only people staying at the hotel yet were denied late checkout. The lady running the place literally hovered outside our room accusing us of smoking inside the room and telling us she was going to charge us extra. Terrible!

This place is awful. The photos on the site are misleading. The rooms smell and our 2-​double bed room was barely large enough for me and my husband and daughter and myself. Customer service is non existent .
A man came in and wanted a 2/​bed room. We offered ours but the desk clerk was going to charge us for not giving a 24 hour notice. Oh well. I’ll never go back,

Kind of a windy drive arriving to the place (came from Morro Bay; took the route that included windy roads atop a high hill… be careful when driving at night!). Rooms are small, but are updated and clean. Breakfast includes cereal, oatmeal, toast, pastries, and waffles. Free wifi. Good for a place to simply sleep and continue on with your day

My planned trip to Las Vegas for Memorial day weekend was cancelled. A friend and I decided to stay local in SO CAL. We were driving to Santa Barbara, Lompoc and Solvang. We drove up Sat. night first to Santa Barbara. We had dinner with a family member and stayed overnight with them. Then the next day on Sunday drove up to Lompoc as planned. We had checked
for hotel recommendations. This hotel had good reviews. We were even able to check in before noon. We were a five minute walk from the Wine Ghetto (19 tasting rooms in an industrial park). There were 3 cars at the hotel when we arrived. The desk clerk and a maid were discussing rooms open when we arrived. The clerk apologized for keeping us waiting. We were given room 206. We split the $ 88 room charge between us. The clerk split it in half on each of our own debit cards. That was great. We took our gear up to our room and then went out for a few hours. We had a Circle K convenience store next door. We got drinks and snacks and came back to our room. It was stuffy and we turned on the air. It shut off after less than 10 minutes and would not stay on no matter how we tried. We also had several small flies in our room buzzing around. We went down to the desk. A different clerk was there. She was very nice and apologetic. She offered to move us around the corner to room 210. She even came to our room and helped us physically move our bags and personal bags to the other room. We sat back to watch a little TV while we decided where to go out for dinner. We tried to connect to the internet and were having a terrible time. We called the front desk and apprised them of the problem. We were told she would reset the modem. We went out to dinner. Our in room coffee maker was broken when we came back and tried to make coffee. The microwave door was chipped, though it worked. We could connect to internet in parking lot but still not in our room. We called the desk and went down again. We were told we could have room 206 again as they had 10 more guests coming in and no other option available. We thought it over and moved back to 206 our original room. By then we did not need the air conditioner now as it was night time. We found we had no hairdryer in our original room and no toiletries. The desk clerk came and brought them to us. The next a.m. my friend went to get coffee for us in the breakfast room. I got up and went down to see what food there was at the continental breakfast. They were out of O.J. and the room was packed. We had been given a $ 30 room credit already when we changed rooms. At checkout I said to the clerk. «Do we win the award for the room with the most problems?» At checkout we were told by the clerk that the manager would be contacted for a possible additional discount. Our cell phone numbers were taken and my friend gave her email. She was on duty until 4 p.m. We left for Solvang and Santa Barbara. No phone calls to either of us. The day after we got home an email was sent to us saying the manager would not give us any additional discounts on the room. I doubt I would ever stay there again under the circumstances.

Looked around for a hotel in Lompoc; as this hotel was reported to be recently updated and the price was good it won out. When we arrived, we were pleased with the location. It is close enough to the freeway, to downtown, just 5 minutes away from the Wine Ghetto and next door to a Circle K.
The check in was very pleasant and the young lady at the desk split the amount on each credit card. We went up to room 206 and opened the door. While the size was not impressive it was clean and did not smell. Oh the beds were comfortable with nice pillowtop mattresses; we had internet and air conditioning which we gratefully turned on. We connected to the internet and were relaxing but the room started to get stuffy then we realized the air conditioning was off. As the rooms had recently been remodeled I figured it was just on a system that was being overloaded but oh, wait at the time we checked in there were 3 other cars. We decided to go to the Wine Ghetto which was only a 5 minute walk.
After an interesting (although lackluster) couple of hours wine tasting we returned to the room. The air was not working. That was it and we called down and changed to room 210. We moved to around the corner and walked in. The room was larger and the air conditioning worked. Of that we were very thankful. Then we decided to check out the local restaurants online but guess what-​we could not connect. We hated to do it but called and asked if there was a problem and were told that that they would reset it-​we waited but no go then decided to go out and eat. I was in the mood for a good steak but we ended up getting a rather blah pizza because places were closed and we could not check anything out with no internet.
We returned once again to brave the Travelodge room situation. The internet was still not working and I needed coffee but alas! The coffee maker did not work AGH— so I said «I am going to spend the night at Starbucks.» We walked down to the office and on the way there saw the young lady who checked us in. We told her the internet was not working and she said that room 210 had internet issues. We went on down and majorly complained.
Once more we changed rooms and lo and behold we were switched to room 206! Well I needed a shower but there were problems. We had no shampoo or soap nor was there a hair dryer. This was brought up. I was so tired decided to shower in the morning. Thank heavens Michelle made some coffee to which was added a generous amount of Amaretto-​made for a good night’s sleep.
Ok, had a cup of stuff that was supposed to be coffee at the free Continental breakfast. Then I went up and showered. If I had taken the shower the night before I would have fallen asleep in the shower the water pressure was so poor but maybe that was due to the drought. Forgot to mention that I found out the new room keys did not work and that there flies in the room-​we were told they probably got in when the room was being cleaned. Michelle finally woke up and went down for some orange juice but to no avail. They had run out of coffee and orange juice.
We again made a visit to the office and Michelle joked «do we win an award for the most problems in a room?» The hotel refunded the princely amount of $ 30.
I was waiting to review this hotel until I found out if there was an additional refund forthcoming and there was not.

I’m happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised. we booked last minute and since everything was sold out in Solvang ended up here through
. I kept saying to myself its just to sleep, its just to sleep, it will be fine. as soon as I got to the room I noticed that they must have recently refurbished all the rooms, wood like flooring and new bedding plus the shower was re-​done in new tiles. I was excited! I hope you will give it a try! its good when you can not spend the extra $$

This place was fantastic! After looking at reviews on a couple other places we decided to pay a little more and get a nicer place. We landed at the Travel lodge and were really happy with the choice. I admit i was a hit apprehensive when the nicest place in town was the Travel lodge but this place delivered! It is very recently renovated and the photos on Unilocal are old. It is really nice. New furniture, rooms all redone, hardwood floors and bathrooms completely new. Great location. Was there for work but made a trip to the wine ghetto and it was wonderful. Could literally walk there and it was perfect! If you are going to the wine ghetto… stay here! We also had our small dog with us and although there was a fee the hardwood floors were great with a pet there. Breakfast was included and it was all the basic hotel breakfast thing… nothing fancy but helped you get started on the day quick and easy. Definitely will stay there again! If you want a decent place to stay… this works well. Not upscale but very clean, very updated and great location.

The pictures do not do this place justice at all. I was so pleasantly surprised. The rooms have chocolate hard word floors, a nice big chocolate brown headboard with side tables and dresser, small flatscreen tv, fridge, microwave. The bathroom exceeded our expectations as well. Free WIFI as well which is always nice. Check in was easy and the gentleman was super nice. This place is definitely worth the cheap price of 69.00. The only thing is maybe the bed was a little too soft. Other than that, we’re happy. I think the town of lompoc isn’t so good. I’d much rather hang out in this room.

The room was very clean. The floor was free of any stains. The linens on the bed were very clean and looked new. The staff was very friendly. The only complaint I have is that the walls were pretty thin and we could hear the freeway outside our window, but most places in the same price range have that problem.

Quality/​Price = ⁹⁄₁₀
Room 216
We were looking for a simple and cheap lodge to stay a night, and what a surprise, we found ourselves in a simple but yet great lodge to stay. Compared to what we usually see in these places: Receptionist was nice, the room was clean, no odors or bugs, microwave, fridge, iron, coffee machine, hair drier, locker, comfy shower with stable water temperature (really a plus). On the dark side we can say that the bed was a little too soft for our taste, the breakfast was a bit meh but yet acceptable for the price (it was included with the room), and the wifi was not working very well.
Receptionist said that our room could be noisy as we were staying over the breakfast room, but we did’t hear a thing.

Cheap hotels… what has happened to them lately! Not cheap anymore PLUS, most are just lousy!
This one wasn’t much better. Cute exterior, very clean lot and the lobby was adorable and nicely decorated.
No one at the desk. Rang the bell 15 times and finally started calling out «HELLO!» Nothing. 13 minutes passed before the manager came out. Another couple said that she’s the only person working the desk and she’s 24 hours. Ok, fine.
Got in the room, and WOW — -it stunk terribly! Husband said no way and requested another room. Room was switched and smelled much cleaner. Room was clean but worn. See pics… scuffed up damaged furnishings, chipped paint on most walls, water stains in the bathroom, shower was pretty beat up. Nearly $ 80 for THIS? Yes, I know this isn’t the Mondrian… but $ 80?
For anyone who needs white noise in the background (i.e., the sound of a fan) forget this one. The AC unit either cooled or heated, nothing in between. No fan setting. The room was silent all night with exception of the constant doors slamming from the neighboring 24-​hour liquor mart/​gas station combo. The «midnight sun» spotlight was gleaming through the top of the black out curtains, lighting up the chipped walls of our room. When the mini-​mart crowd finally decided to go to bed, the local OWL started his ruckus. «WHO WHO WHO» for the next three hours.
«Who Who Who»
«Who Who Who»
«Who Who WHO WHOWHOWHOWHWOHWOHWWO»
Is this for real? An OWL? Come on now!
It was like having a cricket hiding in your room. Chirp Chirp CHIRP!!!
Yes, our dog got to stay too, and that’s why we came. But I would seek out other pet-​friendly accommodations if ever passing through Lompoc again. If I’m going to pay nearly $ 100 for a room, I’d rather stay at any of the Kimpton hotels. Now those places are nice, and all pet friendly.

Short Version: What a surprise!
Long Version: I totally didn’t expect how well kept and clean this was, especially for the price I paid. The accommodations were actually modern, as were the appliances in the room. Smoke-​free actually meant smoke-​free, and again, I can’t get over how clean everything was. The free continental breakfast was good, too. I was shocked. I would definitely recommend this motel to anyone, especially here in wine country, where you’re coming for the countryside, not the place where you’re going to sleep. If you want to save your money for the wine tastings, go here!
