Definitely would stay here again! Very clean room. Friendly staff. Only thing if you’re a light sleeper, you can hear everything, (literally EVERYTHING) around your room and your neighbors but it wasn’t an issue most nights I stayed. It was overall pretty quiet at night. Loved my stay there! Great location! Everything is walking distance and you don’t have to worry about parking. Highly recommend this hotel!

The hotel is in the heart of Solvang. It is extremely walkable and close to restaurants, bakeries and shops. It is a very small hotel but the rooms are big. There is no pool or hot tub.

First of all Marcy (staff) was probably the most wonderful host I’ve ever had out of the thousands of hotels I stayed at. She made me and my guest comfortable, loved, supported with every surprising touch you can imagine. He birthday was unforgettable largely thanks to her. The place was great, the location is truly the best spot in town and it was surprising so quiet you couldn’t hear a pin drop. Love how easily accessible things were too. I’d never stay anywhere else in Solvang. This is my forever spot for sure!

Great little hotel !

The location is great, walking distance from everything (cafes, restaurants, bakeries, breweries and the trolley tour). We had an issue with our shower but it was fixed within the hour 👍. There is construction underneath the hotel due to a new winery (not sure when construction will be completed) a little bit of noise but only during work hours of course. Hotel has self check in and check out , no front desk. Inside of hotel is very nice and clean with a stocked honor bar. Parking is tight but outside parking is available. Great fun stay with my family.
