"The Vinland is a lovely hotel at the end of Mission Dr.....easy walking all of Solvang without being in the middle of everything.....The room was VERY large and had a small balcony facing the woods....so peaceful and serene. The staff, especially Lolita, Geidy and Miguel, with a shout out to Ebonee were absolutely the MOST helpful with all the info they supplied and help with any small issues.... I would for sure come back to The Vinland!!"

"Nice hotel with nice walking views, toasted s’mores at nice by there fire pits they have. Not many around so may not be able to make s’mores at night. They say they have beach access but it’s a far walk and the beach is not one where kids can play in."

10/10 Excellent
"Very nice hotel overall. I enjoyed my experience there and will definitely be going back. I liked that when you walked in to reception area there was a nice open space where breakfast is served. Very easy and straightforward. I loved the bedroom layout. We booked a standard 2 bed no smoking, however, the room layout we got was unique (at least to me). When you first walk in, (aside from the obvious) you’ll see the large window, queen bed, desk&chair, AC/heat unit, large TV, a mini sink, microwave, mini refrigerator, k-pod coffee maker. It gets better, you continue to walk to the other side of you’ll see the restroom and another room with a door that locks and inside a king size bed with dresser, large lounge chair, large tv, medium sized closet with iron and iron board, a large window AC/heat unit. I loved it so much, it gave just the right amount of lighting in both areas, privacy, and all in the same room."
