For an older motel it was well maintained. The staff/owner was a very friendly man. It lacked some amenities but overall motels like this serve their purpose. A clean quiet place to stay for a reasonable price.

The place was old and kind of run down, but pretty clean. The bed was comfortable enough to get a good night's sleep. We were grateful to find this place because the price was decent for a safe, clean, and comfortable night's sleep. The man who checked us in was extremely nice and helpful.

We have visited Solvang twice, but hotel prices there are a bit high. On both occasions, we stayed at this place because it is reasonably priced and located just minutes from downtown Solvang; the experience was very good, the room was very clean and equipped with a fridge and microwave, and the reception staff were very friendly. We will certainly stay here whenever we visit the area.

Ray is always warm & friendly. The hotel is well cared for & always clean. I’ve stayed there 4-5 times & I’m never disappointed. It’s just a short jaunt down the 101 to Goleta to visit my kid in college!

Helpful and friendly staff (Ray). Old furnishings and fixtures, but well-maintained and clean overall. Plenty of parking spaces. In a quiet area. Good water pressure in the bathroom. Bath towels are smaller size and thin. Air-conditioning unit is a bit noisy for us.
