"We had a lovely stay. The rooms were quiet and well appointed. The wine and cheese hour was lovely and the breakfast was delicious. If there was a negative at all, we both agreed that the bed in our room was too soft. Everything else was perfect!"

"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."
