Nice find in Solvang

Nice, over-sized rooms. Well appointed. This is a no- contact hotel. There is no lobby. You check-in by phone. However, the staff on the other end is very accomodating. The hotel sits on the 3nd & 3rd floors, above the local Irish Pub. Private parking and an elevator. Very quiet and walking distance to anywhere in Solvang. Will definitely stay here again.

Must stay in Solvang

The decor, free and easy self-park, room amenities, self-check in features, security, and easy access to staff by text message are amazing. The price for what is offered is unbeatable. We came for a one night stay and immediately extended for a second night!

Great place to stay!

Loved the “Invisible Service” check in and very much appreciated the onsite, off-street parking in a private lot. Well located a block away from the shops and restaurants. Enormous room and shower! 5 stars! Absolutely recommend staying here.

Great hotel and great location. The rooms were clean. This is more like an AirBnB for checkin. Once you get the code entry and exit was easy.

Cute hotel room, great location

Hotel is very cute in the center of town. Our room was very large with 2 king beds and a very nice bathroom. The room had an included noise machine to help with the sounds from the bar below. The room also had skylights but unfortunately one of the shade motors was not working and the shade only closed half way. Otherwise, very nice and would return.
Such a fun, funky room.
Farmers market right outside the hotels on Wednesdays.
Noise machine
Skylight that wouldn’t close.
