Vinland Hotel and Lounge

Vinland Hotel and Lounge

10/10 Excellent
"The Vinland is a lovely hotel at the end of Mission Dr.....easy walking all of Solvang without being in the middle of everything.....The room was VERY large and had a small balcony facing the woods....so peaceful and serene. The staff, especially Lolita, Geidy and Miguel, with a shout out to Ebonee were absolutely the MOST helpful with all the info they supplied and help with any small issues.... I would for sure come back to The Vinland!!"

"Great property in a great location. The rooms were clean and things are quiet. It’d be nice if the breakfast/coffee area opened earlier than 7:30 but no complaints beyond that."
