Nice location, very quiet and check in was easy. King room facing pool very nice. Used pool and jacuzzi was very easy and comfortable. Nights had fire pits on and market lights around. The only thing we didn’t like was breakfast options. Donut, oatmeal or a roll similar to a dinner roll . Donuts everyday is too much as we arent oatmeal people . Better off if they had muffins or sweet rolls instead or a breakfast room. Nice that they had coffee in lobby. Would recommend! And has a Ev charging station!

Nice place to stay in Solvang. Sideways Inn of the Sideways movie fame. Walkable to a lovely breakfast place, and 5 min drive to Ostrichland and 10 min drive to Solvang's Main Street. Service was good, except for: 1. booked 2 rooms but 2 nearby rooms were not available at 3pm the checkin time. we had one room on the 1st floor and another not too far, but on the 2nd floor. 2. we ordered breakfast electronically by 9pm prev day like they asked us to, but breakfast didn't arrive and we had to follow up twice. 3. included free breakfast was just a readymade oats packet we had to heat in the room, a fruit and juice. This is not free included breakfast in the lobby area. 4. there was barely any flexibility to checkout late - even though as an Expedia Platinum member, I would have liked 1hr's leniency that Expedia offers. Got 30min free, but for the next 30min had to pay $25 per room.

I took my toddler on a one night Christmas vacation on 12/22-12/23. We loved the smore’s making by the outdoor fire pits, location of the room to the pool and lobby, and the room itself, hot tea availability, cleanliness, quaintness of the aesthetic, and the girl who checked us in was kind, enthusiastic, and friendly. I plan to make it a yearly tradition to come back to your hotel at Christmas time.

Room was clean, front desk staff did not say much, simply checked my driver Liscense then took out a map drew a circle around the hotel and handed it over to me. Didn’t say much about the different options or recreations available. Other than that the room was clean and everything that we needed was there.

Good location, close enough to Solvang and 45 minute drive to Santa Barbara. Convenient bar and hot dog spot in the same area and cheap gas next door. Floor had some smudges in the kitchen area, and free breakfast is very simple. Overall worth value for what you pay

The staff were attentive and welcoming. The gym was nice and we appreciated the water filter station. The walls seemed thin since you can hear neighbors and outside noise/activity. We wished breakfast was offered earlier and there were more food options.

I like that the staff is friendly. The rooms are clean, the pool is clean and the fire pits are the best. They are pet friendly. I do wish the charge 25 instead of 50 for the pet fee. I also miss the bagels for breakfast.
