Microtel Inn and Suites Lebec

We stayed here after a long drive through the grapevine. The three adults and two kiddos were DONE! The rooms were good. Comfortable beds, clean, and nice bathroom. The reason I am giving three stars is the front desk staff is RUDE! One had an attitude problem the other couldn’t be bothered to look up from his cell phone. Also the tvs in the room had to have the input changed!

Got a good deal on the room. Small, but who needs a lot of space when you’re just there for a night. Rooms are clean and free breakfast is a plus!

The hotel was okay until I had to deal with Nikki Patel, the Manager. She was very very rude. She gave us attitude on more than a few occasions and even hung up on me when I asked her for an extra blanket over the phone. It is a very well kept up hotel but I definitely wouldn’t go back because of her. Also the tv has a volume restriction so I couldn’t put it louder than 11.

Giving a generous 4. Read the reviews and have to agree with, it’s a great place if you need to just sleep and shower. That is what I used it for on my stay. Not really worth the price but last minute they tend to max it. Bed was good slept well. The paper thin walls and the noise from the other guests will wake you up if you aren’t a heavy sleeper. Ask for a regular shower and not handicap access if you don’t need it. It takes some adjusting to if you haven’t used one before. Interesting for a first time in a Micromotel. The check in person was friendly but didn’t give you much information about wi-​fi, check in or out times or about the complimentary breakfast. Guests were asking a lot of questions and at times it was like pulling teeth to get the answers.

For the price, 5 stars. Great stop between Sacramento & San Diego. Friendly staff, complementary breakfast with a fun waffle iron, clean and modern. I’d stay here again without hesitation. The only drawback is the walls are pretty thin, I slept with earplugs but still woke up during the night from people arriving at all hours.

Found a cockroach in my bathroom -.-
Manager Nikki told me it came in through the door, where else would it come in through?. -.-

Clean. Quiet. Reasonable pricing. EZ freeway access yt zero freeway noise. Microwave. Mini-​fridge. Alarm. WI-​FI. Lots of channels. Movies are order in and cost a pretty penny. Great breakfast selections w/​a bit of everything frm waffles, bagels, muffins, yogurt, fruit, coffee, juices, etc. Friendly and efficient staff. All indoor rooms. Front entrance to hotel as well as side entrance. No bell service. Fast food and eat-​in restaurants nearby. Fuel stations. And shopping — outlets! YAY!

I’ll start off by saying that this hotel is great! Although it is very small along with the rooms, but that’s all in the name. It is surrounded by great restaurants and a nice shopping center. This hotel is also not too pricey (my one night stay was $ 94) and the staff is very friendly and helpful. One thing that did sadden me was that it does not have a pool, but I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who needs a place to rest.

I love that the hotel is energy efficient. The room was very nice and the bed was comfortable. The room size was tiny though. It seemed that the staff was discriminative towards the disabled and service dogs. There free breakfast was not very good either.

Great location off the 5 near the Tejon shopping outlets. Energy efficient lighting everywhere. Got the last room on
for under a hundred an they upgraded us since they were sold out of single rooms. Decent clean & new with good coffee, waffles, bagels, cereal, and fruit. Great place when traveling with kids. Young friendly cheerful staff even at 5am. 3.5 stars

Stopped here on our move down from Sacramento to San Diego. Clean, new hotel located close to I-​5, outlets and restaurants, all for a decent price. Only downside is the rooms are a little small and very thin walls… could hear our neighbor speaking at a normal volume.

This place is awesome! Hotel quality at a motel price!
We are on our way from Sacramento to San Diego and it was getting late so we decide to find somewhere to stay for the night. The closer we got to LA the more expensive it got! Then we found this place, it’s located conveniently off i5 however not too close to where you hear the traffic.
The rooms are a little smaller, but nicely updated. The slightly smaller rooms is why this place is so affordable though! The rooms and bathrooms are clean and the staff is so nice (we checked in at 12:30 in the morning). The rooms have direct tv, and the hotel also offers breakfast in the morning.

Really clean. Nice place. Friendly and efficient front desk staff. Also felt safe as all rooms enter from inside. Highly recommend for families. Great price !

This hotel is a gem! The service we received was amazing! First of all the hotel itself is very nice. Great bedding, very clean and safe.
I forgot my earrings. They called me after we left to tell us we left them. We were able to pick them up a week later. They invited us in. Gave me some ice tea, and my son some juice. So friendly!!!

Microtel was a pleasant stay. The lobby was very clean and that alone says a lot about the hotel. The room was well maintained. The only downside was that the room was a bit small, but it wasn’t much of a problem since we were just staying the night. I wasn’t able to get the name of the operational manager that assisted us, but he was very friendly and welcoming. Complimentary continental breakfast is offered from 6am-​930am which is actually pretty good – coffee, milk, tea, hot chocolate, oatmeal, bagels, waffles, yogurt, fresh fruit, and etc. Located right across from the outlets and restaurants.
Inexpensive for what you get which is good service and well maintained room.
Would definitely stay there again.

Excellent road trip or business hotel. I’ve stopped here a few times driving between San Francisco and San Diego — it’s just north of L.A. and next to the freeway, with restaurants and gas close by. Immaculately clean, new, modern building. Impeccably courteous, friendly, professional staff. A great deal, too. It’s going for the same feel as Hyatt Place and SPG Aloft, just the basics, small rooms, but good quality. Highly recommended.

Off to a Fantastic Start:
This brand new Microtel is located in a developing area that promises to increase their business many times over. As it is, there’s already an outlet mall a block away. Wheeler Ridge CA is pretty much the last stop just before climbing the «Grape Vine» section of I-​5. For years, people have taken this exit as their last rest stop or spend the night and businesses have capitalized on this. There’s even a Tesla charging station. However, this is all on west side of I-​5 where the «Petro» Travel plaza is located. There’s never been that much on the other side where the TA is. But weary travelers wanted more and Microtel has answered this demand for more lodging. Across form Best Western, which doesn’t impress me as much, this situation is a good case study of comparison between the two businesses. Such as, Microtel has an elevator and Best Western doesn’t. I’m all for fitness, just not with hands full of luggage that can be dropped while climbing stairs. I checked in for three days and the price was average. There was an excellent continental breakfast with attentive staff that would refill and clean anything as needed. For internet they offer both wireless and a data port. Both Wi-​Fi and the hard-​wired connection were excellent for standard streaming such as Netflix and other regular web activates but a little slow for file downloads. I used one for my Desktop and the other for my Laptop. The room was well designed and styled up to modern standards but unique. The best part of my visit was the teamwork I had the opportunity to witness firsthand. For example, I had either cut or scratched myself and by morning, I noticed a small amount of blood on the «white» comforter. I mentioned this to the desk clerk and she said that the maids would take care and the blood was no issue. I ran some errands and returned by the afternoon and the bedding was not changed. I was displeased and went to the desk clerk who a different person by this time and asked what happened. He went to the maids who were just about to go home and they immediately took action. Turns out this was entirely my fault because I left the «Do not disturb» sign on. That’s usually what I do because I don’t need maid service unless I’m staying for long periods. Anyway they worked as fast and as efficiently as a NASCAR pit crew. All I could do is step out of the way. Five minutes later, the entire room was done, not just the bedding. I was more than pleased to tip each of them.
To summarize, a brand new place with old fashioned work ethics and customer service. Their existing Trip Advisor «Excellence Award» as well as my repeat business are well deserved.

My wife and I stayed the night of ¹²⁄₄. We had intended to drive farther that night but were just too tired, and this hotel was a great find. Matt was working the front desk and was friendly and helpful. We were thrilled to find out the entire hotel was a smoke free environment. The room was super clean, with 2 queen beds, a large flat screen tv, and desk. Continental breakfast was also included. Check in was a breeze, and we were in the room within 10 minutes of pulling into the parking lot. I highly recommend staying here if you are in the area!

Sigh. I loved you, Microtel, but I’m so I am disappointed in your manager, we have to break up. It was a good run– I called you home for 14 days, and would have for another 5.
The thing is, this hotel was 40 minutes away from my work, but after a few really bad experiences with customer service, I needed somewhere where I knew I would be taken care of. I saw the great reviews on Unilocal,and away I went. At first, I was ecstatic with Microtel. I was receiving really good service, a decent rate, and a great room. I sang Microtel’s praises to everyone I knew.
All that changed this week.
Let me give you a bit of background: The first night I was there, I talked with the manager Sam. We agreed on the following: I would stay there weekly until the 18^th, and he would give me a rate of $ 75 a night. This was mutually beneficial as I got a discount and he filled one of his many empty room (there are nights he’s at ½ capacity). My reservations were set in September. I would stay M– SA every week, until ¹⁰⁄₁₈.
Flash forward to this week. After a 15 hour workday, I walk in. He at first was very friendly, but then proceeded to ignore me for 10 minutes while he finished his stuff. He then started to check me and advised that he could not honor the discount for three nights this week because it is busy. He explained that there are many hotels that are sold out so he cannot discount his rooms those nights.
Okay, well I was really irritated because we had an agreement and I had a reservation for over a month, but i was exhausted and just wanted to check in. I accepted it.
Then, I try to get into my room. The door wouldn’t open. I go back downstairs, he gives me another key, I go upstairs and once again the door does not work. I go down for a third time, he told me to go upstairs and his (wife)? Comes out of another room and let’s me in with a manager key. She told me he will bring up a new key.
15 minutes later, I’m back downstairs, this time he goes up with me. He almost comes across patronizing saying «oh what an inconvenience for you». Back up to the room, and the key still doesn’t work. I asked him to give me another room. He puts me in a room down the hall (a two bed room), and tells me he’ll be back in just a couple minutes with a new key. 15 minutes later, he brings me a new key (this is now an hour trying to check in), but tells me that he needs to move me tomorrow night because he’s «giving me» this upgraded room and not even charging me for it.
So let me get this straight. I reserved a room for $ 75 a night, you not only could provide me with that room, and you also charged me more than the rate we agreed upon. Finally, rather than just giving me the upgraded room at the discounted rate, you proceed to tell me that I need to be inconvenienced by moving room after the first night???
I have never been told by a hotel to switch rooms because they didn’t have the room that I reserved.
The thing is, the customer service is easy to give when things go well. I would imagine that the many positive reviews are such because nothing went wrong. Until yesterday, I would have given one as well.
I am so incredibly disappointed, I was Sam biggest fan. I really genuinely liked the guy, but he just turned into a creep.
Once he got busier and could fill his rooms, I was no longer valued customer and tossed aside.
Oh, and there are bugs in the tub daily.
Shame on you, Sam.

This is a new hotel located at the base of the Grapevine Pass into the Los Angeles area. There is a mountain range between Bakersfield and Los Angeles called the Grapevine Pass.
The hotel is 3 months old, and I like that it is new.
Across the road close by is the Ramada Inn, the hotel that I have stayed at many times before. I will be staying here from now on.
The hotel room was a nice place to sleep, new and clean, but nothing to go nuts over. A small buffet breakfast is part of the deal staying here.
I was leaving early in the morning, 4 AM, and I mentioned this when I checked in. Guess what, to accomodate me, the breakfast buffet was set up early for me !
Wow, this is accomodating the guest.
There is a gas station and some fast food joints in the area. The purpose of the hotel is for those who are tired of driving someplace and want to stop. This was true in my case.
