This is what happens when you don't make reservatons in advance. The only room available for my wife and I and our 6lb yorkie was at the Viking Motel. We paid $149.40 for a room that was out of the 60's. Loud music all night coming from rooms at the other end of the motel. Management didn't shut it down.... More

We visited Solvang & Santa Ynez very regularly and always stayed here. It was a perfect budget option with clean, pleasant rooms in a great location. The owner was always very accomodating and friendly too. More

Our family was visiting wine country in Los Olivos before Memorial Day Weekend. We stayed at Le Corque Thursday night $250.00 per each room per night, it's one of the best in Solvang and we enjoyed the stay. Friday afternoon, we decided to stay another night and rates at all major hotels were over $300! We found the Viking Motel... More

New double paned windows, ceiling moldings, new bathroom fixtures, a fresh coat of paint, and especially new floors (pergo in the bedroom and tile in the bathroom) gives this motel a new lease on life. The 32" TV set had a clear picture... More

Some of the reviews are from some really stuck-up folks. If you want luxury....shell out $400 and stay at Fess Parkers. We came to wine taste, show our kid around Solvang and not have to board our dog. We weren't disappointed. The beds were comfortable, TV worked fine. Room was more than adequately clean (I have seen dirtier rooms at... More

The front desk person was very rude, the hotel is old. I don't recommend this to anybody. More

We made enquiries at a few places and this was by far the cheapest - the others did seem a little nicer and some offered... More
