“Centrally located weekend getaway hotel for So Cal residents”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 17, 2013

A few weeks ago I came home Friday night exhausted - I told my husband we needed to get out of town and I don't care where .... we headed north early Saturday morning. On the route we stopped at Filmore for Breakfast, Summerland, CA for a stretch - what hidden gem of a town and a great walk on the pier in Santa Barbara. The next destination on Tripadvisor that intrigued me was Nojoqui Falls - we decided on Solvang and saw all the great reviews for this hotel. It was everything the reviews promised. Beautiful (we ended up in the Presidential suite - not sure how that happened) but the staff, furnishings, food, pool, hot tub were excellent. The Saturday morning Omelet cook was the best - I asked him to add whatever goes with Jalapeno and he made me the perfect omelet. The waitress was very attentive but not overly so. The desk and concierge were very helpful recommending a few restaurants and sights in the area. We stayed less than 24 hours but felt like it had been a week at a spa. We'll definitely return.

“Safe bet for Santa Ynez valley”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013 via mobile

This is a very clean, well appointed and comfortable hotel if you are exploring the Santa Ynez valley. The staff was very polite. Free parking. Nice pool. A good complimentary breakfast buffet. It is a convenient location although not breathtaking. Nice view from front but backs up to Hwy 101. Get a room in front if you are bothered by freeway noise.

“Nice stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 13, 2013

Stayed here for business. Nice room, bed was comfortable and liked having the small refergerator in the room. Staff was friendly and helpful. Nice central location for short excursions around the area. Hotel was well maintained and clean. Reccomend this hotel if you stay in the area even though it is not in downtown Buellton as it seems more modern with better ammenities than many of the inns that are in town.

Room Tip: The rooms away from the freeway may be quieter if you want the patio door open, but it is pretty qui...

“Great Choice...Did not want to leave”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 1, 2013

This is not the first time staying up in wine country. Stayed here just for the night but after 1 day both my wife and I did not want to leave. Thinking Marriott would be pricy I found that they were inline with all the other Solvang hotels but the difference was the cleanliness of the facilities inside and out, realizing lobby, friendliness of the staff, the FULL breakfast that came with the room, the wonderful king overlooking the beautiful green hillside that i requested, the character of a Vegas hotel in Buellton. We are sold ! When we come up again we know where we will be staying..

“Standard Marriott”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 27, 2013

First Class rooms. Pleasant lobby and public spaces. Nothing exceptional or different than the usual Marriott but on the other hand no surprises or poor conditions or performances. Comfortable beds and fairly generous rooms. Very clean and modern. Unlike many large hotels, the door man was always present and very helpful.
