The staff at the bar were wonderful and helpful! Great place to stay, a bonus-its next to Ellen’s Pancake House! Danish style pancakes-thin and tasty.

We loved our stay! Everyone was very sweet, very pet friendly. Loved the amenities and the area was very quiet. The only thing was when we got there we had a huge live grasshopper on the bed frame. Other than that everything was great.

I have stayed here several times and always a good experience. Rooms are nice and comfortable. Good bar/restaurant on site. Friendly staff. Very reasonable rates. I recommend an upstairs room, roomy and quiet area.

We had an excellent trip. The staff was wonderful and friendly, also super helpful. We had noisy neighbors at 6:00 AM but not the staff’s fault.

One of our go to spots. Love the room, pool, cantina on property. Only thing to know and kind of disappointed with you can’t check in early even if the room is available unless you pay $50.00 for early check in.

This was a very lovely place to stay. The staff were kind and helpful. They have a VERY nice gym. We wished that we had more time to be able to enjoy the other amenities, such as the pool, fire pits and bar/music. They even have laundry facilities, which we didn’t realize. The only thing that we wished they had would be an elevator. It was not ideal for managing luggage and a family member with a disability. We will just be sure to ask for a first floor next time. : )

The hotel and property were very nice. The rooms were very nice and we loved being able to use the sliding door to access the pool right by our room. The only complaint is the hot tub’s water was a little dirty, we used it but we made sure to shower really well afterwards lol

Very close to Solvang, 10 minute drive max. The staff were very polite and made checking in and out a breeze. Parking was no problem, since you park right in front of your room. The room itself was very clean and neat. They have nice amentities to accomodate your stay; such as fire pits, pool, and a lounge. The lounge itself was my favorite part. The bartenders were nice, the beer tasted great, and the aesthetic was cozy. I would come back on my next visit to Solvang!
