Fantastic Stay

This was our first time staying at The Genevieve. We were very pleased with our room and appreciated having two valets to use! Bathroom was spacious (though could have used more lighting) and nice having a balcony. Breakfast was included and bikes were available for use. Location was perfect as we were attending an event at Gainey Winery, which was just down the street.

The area was conveniently located to shops, restaurants and various wineries. Our room was quiet, didn't hear traffic noise but landscaping work could have been done a bit later in the day. The daily breakfast were delicious with varied menu. The happy hour was also good with white and red wine and excellent charcuterie. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Stayed in King Luxe, Premises were very nice, as was the hotel itself. Only disappointment was the food service. They have a big dining room with a roaring fire, but really two choices on menu, and the sandwich was quite lacking. Whatever the Victor is supposed to be, ultimately meals were at Olsen's in Solvang in the mornings, and SY Kitchen for dinner. Would still definitely go back to stay.

The room was beautiful! The staff members could use some training on being “hosts” since this is an Hotel not a Motel 6. They were not rude just not warm and welcoming. The breakfast was again substandard for a Hotel.
