This property was a great place to spend one night while driving through Solvang. The parking lot is small but it’s in walking distance to everything and has everything you need. I’m not sure I would spend longer than that here, the rooms are on the smaller side and it was a very no frills stay. It’s been updated and the aesthetic is awesome but it would’ve been even better if they had also redone the showers and purchased new mattress bases however for the price we paid it was perfect.

We're glad you enjoyed it! Showers are next up on our list and we DO have all new mattresses. :)

The property was clean and comfortable. The lady in the office was very polite and helpful. I am not fond of instant coffee and would have preferred a regular coffee pot or a Keurig. But, not a big deal, with all the coffee shops in Solvang.

We stayed in a double Queen room. It was cozy but worked for me and my kids. We arrived around 9:30pm so I was thankful for the contactless check in. Made it very easy! The room was charming and clean. Theres’s no closet or drawers but they did have a shelf with a section that you could hang things. Also had a mini ironing board. There are 2 minor changes I feel would help the experience. 1st would be that the lights next to the beds don’t have shades on them, just a bulb which made them super bright and a bit hard on our eyes. I think a small shade would have been nice. 2nd there’s one small table between the beds but no end tables on the other side. I happened to sleep on the side without a table and it just made it tricky as I’m accustomed to placing my glasses right next to me as well as a bottle of water/book/phone so I did kind of stumble around trying to get to my glasses in the morning. Space wise I get why there’s no end table, but perhaps a small shelf that attaches to the wall or something. Neither things were deal breakers though. A positive note, when we arrived the heater was on and our room was toasty and warm which was an absolute delight as we aren’t used to cold weather. Loved how close the inn was to shops and restaurants. There’s even a small museum right across the street. We would love to come back during the warmer months to enjoy the outdoor area. Overall a great experience! Thank you!

Expect higher prices on the weekend
Woken at 2AM by a male kid somewhere but likely not on the premises that kept jabbering through the night. If the power goes out you will lose your money. They should warn before booking which makes them look suspect. Very modern appliances A BIG PLUS. Small room with little shelf space. Newer terrific coffee maker but in a dimly lit area.

Cute property!!! Saw this on Motel Rescue and had to see it for myself!! Loved it! As it is a motel not alot of amenities but it did have coffee pot microwave and mini fridge. Black out shades were nice and didn’t have to use my earplugs!! The town was so pretty decorated for the holidays. Parking for a little tricky on the weekend but it worked out. Great location, very walkable. Highly recommend
