Top El Capitan State Beach Hotel Reviews

Royal Copenhagen Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was very clean. The staff was great and friendly. Lobby had coffee and tea. Vending machines were available for snacks and drinks. Garden for pup use was clean! By far one of the best hotels we have stayed at in addition to being conveniently located near all the restaurants and shops. They include parking so it made our stay easier, we just walked. Would definitely book again. They also include a quick breakfast."

The Marlo

10/10 Excellent

"I loved everything about The Marlo!!! Spacious room, wonderful staff and the entire property was excellent. This is a dog friendly property. I saw dogs but those rooms were spaced away from my room on the other side of the hotel. If you have a dog, they will feel at home with the accommodations that I saw. I will definitely stay here again when in the area. The Marlo is in walking distance of everything! Our room had a separate living area with TV which made it great for me and 21-year Granddaughter. The bedroom also had a TV. Our refrigerator/freezer was the perfect size. We had a wonderful time in Solvang and The Marlo made it very memorable."
