Yeah, I've stayed in motels in Taft. Decent, no. Cheap, yes. Lebec would work fine. And there is food up on the Grapevine at Frasier Park, in case there's nothing around the Ramada. I bet your pups are more finicky about food than I am, tho.
Dumb question but I'll ask anyway: is lead shot OK in the Temblors? Or are we in danger of endangering any endangered species there? I got a mixed answer to this question from Forest Service when I asked about hunting up in Santa Barbara Canyon last season, so I took the answer I liked (yes). I have guns that are OK with steel, in any case.
