Excellent location, right next to the freeway and near to many places to eat. The room was well kept but needed some TLC. Super dog friendly, with a nice pool, jacuzzi and fire pits. Staff was great, and the coffee and donuts in the morning were a nice way to start our day. Would stay here again.

Convenient and Clean

My husband and I love this hotel because it’s conveniently located to wineries and Solvang, it’s clean, has a lounge with a full bar, free coffee and donuts in the morning. It’s also fairly quiet and dog friendly, which works great, as we like to travel often with our doggo.
