“Comfortable, affordable home base for wine tasting”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2010

I have stayed here several times, both with my wife and as part of a larger tour group. I have also stayed in both the traditional motel portion of the property, and in the newer annex section.

Both portions of the hotel are clean & comfortable, although the annex section features newer, slightly larger rooms. The bedding & fixtures are no-frills but functional and we have had nothing but a good night's sleep every time we have been guests. We have not had problems overhearing guests in adjoining rooms as some reviewers have complained.

The staff has always been pleasant and gone out of their way to be helpful. My wife and I choose this as an affordable option for guests coming to our vineyard wedding this August (we also recommended the Hotel Corque and the Wine Valley Inn). Our guests at this hotel all seemed to enjoy their stay - one couple has already scheduled a return visit.

The voucher for breakfast across the street is a nice touch (and the bakery is worth a visit even without the voucher!) and the onsite pool is small but a welcome respite at the end of a long, hard day of wine tasting.

“Inexpensive, great value, parking and service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2010

We were impressed with the cleanliness and location of this quaint little motel. It had a great Burger joint (the Big Bopper) right next door and its complimentary breakfast is at the bakery across the street (Olsen's and the Danish was FANTASTIC). The staff was very tourist friendly and were helpful in finding places to eat (they have Albums full of menus) and sites around Solvang.

“Theft Problems - Guests Beware”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We used to love this hotel Especially their Annex Property at Atterdag and Copenhagen. This last trip we had our camera bag taken (Nikon & Minolta lost) from our locked room. The guests across the courtyard from us lost a lap-top, I-pod, and camera from their locked room the same weekend. The maid had been there and the door was secure in both instances. The maids have a habit of leaving the doors open and not blocking the open doorways with their carts while cleaning, meaning anyone could have entered while she was in the bathroom or wherever. So, I am not saying I believe the house keeping staff did it themselves - they simply provided the opportunity. Shame on us for leaving valuables in the room. We were also there last January. When we got home my wife noticed she had jewelry missing. We figured she had just misplaced it. Now we think otherwise. Same hotel. They accept no responsibility.

“Great Location--Poor quality”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2010
1
person found this review helpful

My husband and I just returned from two days in Solvang. Solvang Inn and Cottages was a great location; however, every hotel/motel in Solvang is a great location. For midweek, the price was reasonable, but not exceptional; however, the room was substandard. In the middle of the night, someone in another room was taking a shower--I thought it was in our bathroom. The room had not been thoroughly cleaned as, when leaving, I checked that we had everything and found articles of previous guests under the bed. The toilet leaked and water would run periodically throughout the night. On a positive note, enjoyed the Cafe Angelica and the Hitching Post for dinner.

“Simple and cozy”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2009

This place was not luxurious with marble and what not, but it was simple and cozy. A perfect little get away Inn.
