You can do better.

A few problems. The photos on your website are a bit deceptive of the actual property. It’s not as nice as it looks. It’s undergoing construction now. Our room, though clean and quiet was rather small with no closet space. The bed was great but the microwave didn’t work. WiFi was spotty. The electric outlet strip on one side of the bed did not work. There are much nicer hotels in Solvang in the same price range. I would not stay there again.
