Lovely boutique hotel within walking distance of everything to do in Solvang. Quiet too. Only thing I would add is darkening curtains! I like a pitch black room and every door had bright lights on a timer at night. Luckily I had an eye mask.

The location is great if you want to be close to the main street without being too close (it's walkable). The room was outdated, but nothing that concerned us, we were not able to sleep very well due to the mattress being old and uncomfortable and the chairs in the room needed to be replaced (the cushion was basically nonexistent). The heater was fine. The floor was a little dusty. The staff was very friendly. Overall, it was an okay stay.

Check in was good, but... ants in the room, 3 tissues in the box of Kleenex,water pressure was weak and had to reprogram the TV to accommodate English. No one in office after 9pm. We'd stayed here before without issue a couple years back. Disappointed this time.

This was an adorable place to stay. We stayed just one night as a half way mark to go see relatives . Wehad fun looking around the quaint town of Salvang. Would love spend more time here next time. Our room had a living room separated from bed and bath with a couch. My only I would have appreciated was a luggage stand and a through rug under bed and i. Front room would have been nice. Parking is tight.

Charming, a little outdated
It’s a charming inn, somewhat older. We had a separate bedroom with a king. The room overall was pretty spacious. It’s a little outdated, no USB ports. There is a wall heat/ac combo in the bedroom that works well and a small heater on the wall in the living room that puts out a little heat. No central air or heat so in the summer you would have to leave the bedroom door open. The bed was hard and very uncomfortable, the pillows kind of flat. We tried to change rooms but all the beds were the same. They were willing to move us if there was a better bed. Definitely not luxury but it was okay for the price. The grounds were very charming. Not too far from downtown but at night it was extremely dark there are no streetlights.
