First off the property from the exterior looks clean. Sadly the interior isn’t exactly what the pictures make it out to be. The a/c didn’t work very well. The mattress was old and uncomfortable. The bathroom renovation was poorly done. The toilet is old and very low to the ground. The shower had mildew. There was no where to hang your clothes. The room had a musty smell to it. And the room was very small. I was bummed because the pictures really make it seem like the renovations are great and the room is going to be very nice. Paid to much for our stay.

Bathroom

Shower could’ve been in better condition. There was oxidation and rust running down the sides of the handicap bars and the drain was in a similar condition. Shower curtains were also way too long and a nuisance to keep pushing away.

Check in was super easy, no need to interact with a staff, the code sent straight to my phone. I was sick during the stay and the staff was able to find some medicine for my headache. The area is walkable in Solvang, love the convenient location. The room was very clean, bed was comfortable. But the pillow wasn’t too comfortable.

Nope

Would not stay again. Major road noise. Eyelash/eyebrow hairs on pillowcases. Slept on a sheet I keep in my car. Dried food on floor at bedside attracted a dog. Wiping floor with wet tissue = these floors are filthy. Weak AC. Cable TV nonfunctioning after extensive troubleshooting--watched TV via other means. Cable remote not hygenic. Hair wad on shower curtain. Fridge unplugged, took hours to get to temperature.

Nice place, great location

Great location in this easily walkable town. Room was on smaller side but super efficient. Having a refrigerator was nice. Bed comfortable, shower with plenty of pressure. We didn’t get a chance to use but the chairs and fire pit in the yard area was great addition.
