We have visited Solvang twice, but hotel prices there are a bit high. On both occasions, we stayed at this place because it is reasonably priced and located just minutes from downtown Solvang; the experience was very good, the room was very clean and equipped with a fridge and microwave, and the reception staff were very friendly. We will certainly stay here whenever we visit the area.

Helpful and friendly staff (Ray). Old furnishings and fixtures, but well-maintained and clean overall. Plenty of parking spaces. In a quiet area. Good water pressure in the bathroom. Bath towels are smaller size and thin. Air-conditioning unit is a bit noisy for us.
