When in Lompoc, this hotel is my automatic second choice if I can't get in at the Embassy Suites. Granted, I'm a "Hilton guy," so I'm kinda biased. But, there really isn't much to complain about at the HIE. Good breakfast, decent gym, nice headed pool, and good value. The separate buildings is kinda odd, but not too much of an inconvenience. They could use a nice Manager's Happy Hour to keep pace with the Embassy Suites. Otherwise, it's a solid performer and one of the best in the area.

All the staff were very friendly and willing to provide additional toiletries when requested. The room was comfortable, spacious enough for two people, clean and it is always great to have the convenience of a refrigerator & microwave in the room. The breakfast is more than sufficient for a short stay and the lady was most friendly and attentive to our dining enjoyment. We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to make another reservation.

This is not a five star resort, but it is very nice for what it is. The front desk was very helpful. Our check in was quick, and they even helped us with a phone number we needed. Our room was spotless, and in great condition. I liked the more modern decor. Our room had a microwave, fridge and flat screen tv all located in an attractive wall unit. The hotel was quiet during our stay. The free breakfast was good. They have a pancake machine that I had never seen before, but it worked great. Everything was well stocked and there was always someone there to help and keep things neat. The hotel is close the Lompoc wine ghetto, and 15ish minutes from Foley and some of the wineries. There is a Panda Express next door and a Starbucks across the street. It is close to most anything you would need.

Came out to Lompoc for a quick Thanksgiving lunch with the in-laws. I've read other reviews speaking of thin walls-we had no problems. But we did come in @ 11pm and left 930am. The beds were super comfy. And everything was clean. No weird smell.

We will more than likely return whenever we're back again.
