5/5 Excellent
Wonderful play to stay in Solvang
"My wife and I went there to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and the Hotel was amazing. It was very quiet and everything was walking distance to downtown Solvang. We loved the area and it was easy to park. There were a lot of stairs (also in the room) so next time we stay we will request a lower floor. Breakfast was very good also. We will stay there again."
