"VERY NICE!
Great location—everything is just steps away, and you’re right in the heart of downtown Solvang within minutes by foot.
The hotel itself is older, but very well maintained and impressively clean. I didn’t find any dust or buildup, even when checking window frames, light fixtures, and vents in my room. The room didn’t have that “old hotel” smell either. It was fresh and well kept.
Since it is an older building, the walls are thin. You can hear hallway noise, conversations, cars outside, and even early morning activity like garbage pickup. Honestly, it wasn’t bothersome. It was more amusing than anything.
Breakfast was okay, but with so many great restaurants just a short walk away, we didn’t expect to rely on the hotel for breakfast/meals.
I booked through Expedia. But I was charged a $25 per night “holding fee” at check-in, which was a bit confusing. However, it was fully refunded at checkout. Still, the concept wasn’t very clear. Hopefully they avoid going down the path of adding unnecessary fees like some larger tourist destinations.
Overall, I would definitely stay here again.
Three thumbs up! LOL"
