Cozy
Cozy. Comfortable bed. Nice shower temperature and pressure. Short walk to town. Excellent staff. Only complaint is paper thin walls. Didn’t bother us because we had good neighbors but you can hear everything.

Quaint and cute, walking distance to everything
Quaint and cute, walking distance to everything. We had a king bed room, with a pull out couch in a separate room. Had a mini frig and microwave. Bedroom had a heater/air conditioner. Living room had an electric fireplace for heat. Spacious bathroom. Ice and water fill up station on the property. Only negatives we found was there wasn't a tv in the bedroom, only one in the living room. And the blinds didnt provide the same darkness we prefer, would've preferred blackout curtains. Later checkout was nice too (check out isn't until 11am) so you have plenty of time to go grab breakfast, coffee, or go to a bakery in the morning if you want. Would highly recommend!

Don’t accept room #17 since there is a room on top of that and it is too noisy when they are walking/talking in second floor. other rooms are one level and should be ok. However it was very clean and cozy. Close to downtown and walkable. Parking was ok. Each room has one parking but still you can park in street if no parking.

Good room, needs updates
Comfort bed and room, however the shower is not in good condition. The base of the shower had many deep cracks in the stone base where it looked as though water was leaking, and the glass door did not close all the way.

Incredible experience in Solvang
We wanted the Christmas experience of Solvang for our 53 Anniversary. We enjoyed our room with a very nice bed and a newly remodeled bathroom. That evening, we wanted a nice place to eat, so I went to the office and asked the female manager... "Its your anniversary, where do you ask your husband to take you for dinner". She referred me to a restaurant that i was not familiar with and gave me directions. My wife and I had the most incredible dinner. We will definitely return the next time we are in town.
