A Hidden Gem in Solvang – Seamless, Stylish, and E

The Winston is an absolute gem! The contactless experience was smooth and well-organized, making for a stress-free stay. I accidentally booked the wrong date, but Sabrina was incredibly helpful over the phone—she quickly resolved the issue and made sure I had a room when I arrived. Her assistance turned what could have been a stressful situation into a seamless and enjoyable experience. The hotel itself is stunning. The decor is stylish and thoughtfully curated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The room was spacious and beautifully designed, but the highlight was the bathroom—large, elegant, and featuring a luxurious shower that felt like a spa retreat. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the addition of a sound machine was a wonderful touch that made for a perfect night’s sleep. If you're looking for a unique, comfortable, and hassle-free stay in Solvang, The Winston is the perfect choice. I can't wait to return!

We have stayed at The Winston several times and we always love it. The rooms are big and clean and the property is perfectly situated in the center of town. This trip was even more special now that they brought on new Front end manager, who made our trip even more amazing. Marcy Rose was the difference this trip for sure!!!
