The room was nice and clean, with a pool side view. Very close to a market and to downtown Solvang. I didn’t spend much time at the hotel but there is a restaurant/bar onsite. The lobby had free coffee and donuts which was nice. Staff were nice and respectful.

Clean room. No room service. Noisy neighbor, but they quieted down around 10:00pm. My biggest issue? No in-room phone. I couldn't call the front desk about the noisy neighbor. On the good side, the room and bed were comfortable. Fluffy pillows
