“Lipstick on a pig”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 19, 2012

Its like the saying goes... If you put lipstick on a pig, you still have a pig.
To start, there wasn't anything abjectly wrong with the hotel, just a whole lot of things that fell short. The room had a modern, renovated feel. The shower had nice hot water. The bed was comfy. And that's about the end of my list of pros.
Who renovates a bathroom and doesn't put in a place to hang a towel?
Our toilet kept running after it flushed... Seriously wtf?
They saw fit to include the standard assortments of mini soaps and hand creams in the bathroom - except one of the creams was half empty, with a notable feel like it was used and not properly replaced. Really?
We could not turn off the ceiling fan in the bedroom, so we couldn't turn on the main light, because the two are tied together.
Our reservation promised us a fireplace - the inn has none.
The greeting staff was less than professional and warm.
And the list goes on...
So in summary, the got the general broad brush strokes but failed on all the little details. If you have an option to stay somewhere better, you should!

“Good value, well located”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 19, 2012

The hotel itself is conveniently situated to walk through the quaint little town of Solvang. The rooms are spacious. Breakfast however is an average affair with paper cups and plastic cutlery. At least they had a banana, but the health conscious will find it hard to get a decent meal.

Room Tip: All rooms face inwards to the quad and pool area. There are no lifts so if you have luggage, downsta...

“Much better than expected!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

Stayed only one night on this hotel. It's pretty charming. Once we got to the room, I was impressed, as it was modern and very spacious. Our room was located on the second floor, in the back of the hotel, which does not face Mission Dr, and had a terrace, just like most of the rooms on the hotel. Two large beds, TV, fridge and a clean, spacious bathroom. Continental breakfast was included, which we really enjoyed. There was a piano in the lobby, I think they put a good show whenever it's played. There is one main pool and the sauna, which I wanted to use, but it was closed. Check in was smooth and fast, although we had a hard time finding the room, which was located in the back of the hotel. Overall, it's a great little hotel. Solvang is a small town, the hotel is located in one of the edges of the city, but is close to everything. We had a car, but walked all over town. There is a small supermarket next to the hotel.

“outdoor jaccuzi was a treat!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 10, 2012

Planning our journey we read lots of reviews. This hotel was nice balance between positive feedback and value of price. Nice small hotel with everything available. We had a breakfast in the hotel, however decided to try famous Danish bakeries instead. The bed was very-very comfortable; room was specious and had individual entrance from the back yard, free parking. What my son and hubby enjoyed the most was the outdoor's spa facilities. We were still jet-lagged so got up very early, morning was foggy and chilly, but we could not stay in the bed any longer... outside we found large pool and Jacuzzi, which was really nice.

Room Tip: We ask for quiet room and we had very good sleep. I guess, front rooms facing the road would have mu...

“Met expectations...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

Our Friday check-in went very smoothly, and we were given a second-story room facing Mission Drive. If possible, do not stay in a room facing this street because Mission Drive essentially is Highway 246. Thankfully, the traffic noise did not prevent us from having decent sleep both nights.
We stayed in a two queen-bed room that had a balcony with a sitting area above the pool. Spacious room, less than spacious bathroom. Nice, updated decor, flat screen TV, in-room refrigerator, coffee maker, and microwave, but no safety deposit box.
There is a small pool which is fenced, and there is no fitness center. They do have a sufficient continental breakfast, which will tie you over until you want to eat big and fancy.
Great location: within walking distance to many shops and restaurants.

Room Tip: Ask for a room away from Mission Drive...
