We’ve stayed in a handful of hotels in Solvang and this is by far one of our favorites. The room was very clean and spacious, it had everything we needed. Parking was close and convenient. The courtyard areas are well maintained and great for dog walking. We would absolutely stay again.

Very nice experience at The Marlo Hotel. The hotel was clean, and the receptionist was very friendly and welcoming. They are pet-friendly and accepted my dog with open arms. The cleanliness of the hotel was 10/10. The outdoor relaxation area was beautiful and perfect for guests traveling with their dogs. I would definitely stay here again.

Receptionist at check-in was super helpful and allowed us to get in 2 hours early. Thank you! Perfect pet friendly stay about 8-minute walk to the main part of town. Its quieter in this area which is nice. Their courtyard is very spacious and well decorated. The entire property is pet and family friendly. Our room had a kitchen unit which was very nice and the place was clean. It is an excellent choice for a pet friendly option and would be my first pick when I return to visit.
