Detailed Reviews
We stayed here on a Saturday night of a long weekend when we were unable to book 3 consecutive nights in our usual wine country hotel of choice. What a wonderful surprise!! For about half of the cost of that usual hotel, we received lodging in a large room with comfortable bed, big screen TV, full refrigerator and microwave and recliner in the room. BUT there is LOTS MORE: Free sodas, snacks, ice cream and DVDs available from the front desk as well as 4 drink tickets/room for happy hour. Happy Hour though ran from 5-11 PM in the bar/restaurant attached to the motel. The beverages were wine, beer (16 oz glasses from at least 4 different taps including Stella) or mixed drinks!! My husband ordered a Long Island Iced Tea which was delicious and I had a Kahlua and cream before bedtime. If we wanted additional drink tokens, they were available for $4 each!! The bartender was delightful as was her helper, who was one of the owner's family members. The next morning, we were able to eat a fully cooked breakfast which we ordered off the menu, all included in our very reasonable room rate. Dinner is also available, though we did not eat dinner there so cannot comment on that though menu looked inviting enough to try it on our next visit because we will return!

We recently spent two days at Jalama Beach . The beach is remote, and absolutely beautiful! The only place to stay right there is a camp ground, and we were not up for camping, so we booked a room at O 'Cairns Inn, which is in Lompoc, the closest town to the beach. We spent our days at the beach, and in the evening we would retreat to our room in the hotel. Jalama Beach this time of year is cold, and windy, and by the end of the day, we were chilled. The room was nice and warm, and the shower was hot ! Nice place to warm up and get some sleep. The bed was very nice and we slept well. In the morning, we went down to the hotel's restaurant and enjoyed a FREE, cooked to order meal. They have all the usual breakfast stuff, and it was pretty good. This is not a fancy place, but it is safe, very clean, and well maintained. Also, they were happy to accommodate our dog, for a small additional charge. I would stay here again next time I am in the area.

This is where we stay whenever we are in the area. The rooms are always clean and the staff is always friendly and helpful. They have a full sized fridge in the room along with a recliner so there is plenty of room to relax. They offer a full breakfast and a happy hour every night. They have also expanded their menu in the lounge to include steaks and pasta choices. Meals are only available for their guests which makes it a nice option. We ate there on Saturday night based upon recommendation from Steven at the front desk. We weren't disappointed my wife had a chicken pasta dish and I had the chicken marsala both were cooked very well and the portions were nice sized. Looking forward to coming back again this summer.

This location is in the real downtown of Lompoc.Not on the outskirts with the chain stores and chain hotels. It sort of had a Route 66 feel to it being that is must have been the destination for weekend military family getaways during the space race. Very nice, clean, comfortable rooms. The free evening drink coupons and made to order breakfasts were a big bonus. Had a touch of nostalgia wondering what the NASA suite was, and how what famous pilots must have stayed there. Two real restaurants within 400 ft were fully acceptable to experience the local culture.

Everyone was very friendly at this hotel and provided great service. They provide many extras at this hotel which help make your stay great. In the evening, you get chips for 4 free drinks at their bar. For breakfast in the morning, the waitress greeted us with a cheery good morning and took our order for breakfast:
Choice of two eggs, any style or breakfast burrito or an omelet.
Pick 3 side dishes: bacon, sausage, hash browns, yogurt, fresh fruit cup, pancakes, French toast, waffles, oatmeal
Plus a drink (coffee, tea, juice).
She served us all at our table, or you can get it to go. This is all included with the room. The room also had a full size refrigerator with an actual freezer; also a microwave, hairdryer, DVD player and two luggage racks. This is a good hotel, but not a fancy one. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The outdoor pool and whirlpool looked nice.

Excellent location, facilities, staff, value.
Large (for motel) wide screen Samsung TV with DirecTV, HBO etc., large clean fridge, hairdryer, microwave, coffee maker, one complimentary free drink at the bar (Friday & Saturday), excellent hot breakfast made to order (not the lame continental version). The bistro has a small bar, billiards table few large screens playing sports, decent menu (very well prepared food).
The swimming pool is nice too.
Amazingly good place for Lompoc. Previously we stayed in nearby Solvang in motels for double the price and miserable conditions.
Location is excellent if you want to visit the Santa Ynez wine country (like us), but can't find reasonable accommodation in the valley (like us). The motel is at the boulevard which becomes highway 246 to Santa Ynez Valley - 20 min. drive.
Strongly recommended.

I have mixed opinions regarding O'Cairns INN. The hotel is located next to Highway 1 and it's easy to travel to local tourist sites. Rooms are small and the furniture and bathroom fixtures are dated. I had requested an ADA room and expected a few more modifications to accommodate my disability. Bath tub is standard with only safety bars added. The outstanding feature are the free made to order breakfasts, The food is fantastic with the servers friendly and helpful. Overall, a good place to stay.

Fantastic place! I drove all the way from Massachusetts to California in 6 days and I couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to sleep at the end of my journey. By FAR the BEST hotel I stayed at on my whole trip. Comfortable room, huge bed, CLEAN, super friendly staff, great food (Free breakfast you don’t wanna miss) .. I could go on and on. Home really didn’t feel so far away staying here. The family that owns the place are some of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Each one quick to smile and ask me how my stay is. I’ll always remember my trip to California for the rest of my life. O’Cairns Inn & Suites was a huge part of that experience. Next time I return to California, I’ll be booking another room there. I couldn’t imagine going someplace else.

Stayed here over 4yrs ago. I am back in the area for work again on an extended stay. If you like nice people, clean rooms with a full refrigerator, microwave and a complementary breakfast that is excellent then stay here. It is a family owned and they all pitch in and work from the front desk to the restaurant . So nice, if you are in the area come and support them you will not be disappointed. They are also very good about the masks and sanitation stations. Free washer/dryer and laundry soap.
