I normally ignore reviews where the reviewer gives the place a "terrible" rating - the reviewers always seem to have a chip on their shoulder and maybe aren't the most objective. However, I certainly have changed my attitude following my stay at the HI Express in Solvang! Bugs do ruin your stay! My parents and I had two king-sized rooms... more

Booked this hotel for a stop during a trip down the west coast. Check-in was easy, with good parking. The loft room was clean and huge, with a double on a mezzanine floor, and two singles for the kids - an ideal family room layout. We used the pool which is small but warm and adequate. Breakfast was fine. As... more

We have been to Solvang often, but never spent the night. This time we decided to spend a couple of days wine tasting and geocaching. (www.geocaching.com) After reading the reviews we stay here. The room was fine. I don't think you can do better for price and location. The hotel is a like the others, your basic chain hotel. Nothing... more

We stayed here for 2 nights and had very little to comment on. The staff was pleasant, the breakfast good, the room clean and the bed and linens very clean and comfy. They offer two pillow types - firm and soft (the pillow cases are marked). Our room was in the main bldg and had a large balcony with 2... more

We stayed one night at this hotel while on a wine tasting excursion, booked at the last minute (day before). It was fine; there aren't any really fancy hotels in Solvang or anywhere nearby. The bed was very comfortable, nice linens; we were in the "second building" on the ground floor. the room was a decent size. Covered parking is... more

I had requested early check in, but was not honored. finally at 3:00 we go to the room and it is opened, the reason was because it had a foul odor. so i requested another room and was not granted; i was told to open the sliding door when i did... more

While booking our stay to person I spoke to was very pleasant and accomodating. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to Solvang. It has a covered garage which was great in the heat of July. The room was very clean and when we had difficulty with the remote the staff was there immediately with a new one. The... more

Stayed during one of the hottest weekends of the year. Bedroom was upstairs and sofabed on ground floor. Separate air conditioning units for upstairs and downstairs worked great. Nice view of the hills from the deck. Friendly service at the check-in desk. Convenient underground parking. Small swimming pool was clean with plenty of towels available. Refrigerator and microwave were a... more

I was hesitant in making a reservation and staying at this location considering previous reviews. This hotel must have corrected all the problems that others had before me, before there were no problems at all. The room was very nice, with updated bedding, etc. Staff was accomodating and very pleasant. Sure, it is a Holiday Inn Express and one gets... more
