Lebec Hotels

January 2010 saw the opening of a new Holiday Inn Express hotel in the Gorman/Lebec/Frazier Park area, built next to several restaurants and gas stations at I-5 exit 205, near the entrance to Fort Tejon State Historic Park and half way (40 miles) between Santa Clarita and Bakersfield. The hotel has 77 modern, comfortable rooms, most with views towards the surrounding mountains, and facilities of an outdoor pool, hot tub, fitness center, guest laundry and business center. Free hot buffet breakfast is served.

Best Western Liberty Inn provides good quality lodging for travelers north of Los Angeles along I-5 - the hotel is right next to exit 215 of the interstate (Grapevine), at the edge of the San Emigdio Mountains 15 miles north of Lebec and near such places as Fort Tejon (12 miles) &anp; the Hungry Valley ORV area (20 miles), though the surroundings are mostly quite empty and barren. Free continental breakfast is available, while for lunch/dinner there are at least 7 fast food restaurants nearby. For relaxation guests can make use of an indoor swimming pool, steam room and spa.

Trees and a patch of grassland separate Days Inn Lebec from I-5 which runs past to the east, while the west side borders open desert, sloping up a few miles away to the grassy hills of Los Padres National Forest. The hotel sits beside exit 215 of the interstate (Grapevine), not near any facilities apart from a couple of gas stations and four restaurants; the nearest major city is Bakersfield, 30 miles north. Half the rooms have views over the central courtyard garden, which contains a pool, hot tub and picnic/barbecue area. Free continental breakfast is provided.
