"We had a wonderful stay at Solvang Inn! The hotel was clean, quiet, and in a perfect location—just a short walk from all the shops, restaurants, and attractions in Solvang. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the room was comfortable and well maintained. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay again on our next visit. Highly recommended!"

"Our room was large, and the bathroom was amazing. I wish they would clean the rooms daily without having to ask, and I wish they did not allow pets in all of the rooms. Some of the rooms would be fine, but some people have allergies. Overall it was a nice room."
