But it's just about right distance to go on in the am to MM for the day.

I don't know anything about them though, Maybe someone else does.. Before the grapevine there is a Best Western Liberty Inn off Laval Road that we stayed at in Dec. It was fine and pretty new. It was a standard BW room and if I stayed there again I'd ask for an upper floor. Bagels, cereal and muffins in the morning. An exit further (Grapevine) there is a Ramada that looks nice. Are you driving down 5? If so, you would have to veer over to Bakersfield. Let me know if you want distances to any of these motels from Lost Hills.

My problem with hotels is I absolutely have to have a room with no smoking and no pets due to my sons asthma and allergies. But yet don't want to spend more than $90/night if possible.
