8/10 Good
"A nice hotel walking distance from everything in Solvang. The staff was super helpful and nice. The room was spacious, clean, and had a little balcony. We were upgraded to a king size bed and the room had a balcony. I did appreciate the token for a free drink at their lounge, it was a nice touch. We had a refreshing tomato and cucumber salad and the drinks were just ok. I ordered an old fashioned, but the bartender was new and had to look up the recipe. She made it way too sweet, but my wife's drink was good. It was a pineapple mojito. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because our room was not cleaned on my 2 night stay and the bathroom only had 1 roll of toilet paper that was halfway gone. Other than a couple of small dislikes, this is a great place to stay. We will probably stay here again."
