First time here. There are only 6 rooms I think. But the vibe is very nice. The room was chic. Nice bathroom with separate tub and shower. The star of the show was the tavern. Good and original food. I enjoyed the short stay!

First off the room was super unique. It felt like a castle with the rock walls and wood beam ceiling. Here is a list of all the good things: 1. ROOM SIZE: The room was large. It had a sitying area with a sofa, coffee table, 2 chairs and a small end table. 2. LOCATION: Inn is located outside the hubbub of Solvang, in a quiet rural type area, yet close to restaurants and 5 mins from Solvang. 3. SIZE: There only 6 units which kept things quiet and private. The Tavern Restaurant is adjacent to units. 4. AMENITIES: robes, extra towels, small fridge, nespresso machine, snacks, charging ports, dental kit, shaving kit, throw blankets, large tv. 5. STAFF: very attentive and friendly general manager. We actually received a call in early afternoon letting us know our room was ready and we could check in earlier. CON: The matress was a bit soft for my problem back. Would I stay again? Of Course.

Check in is seamless, no reception area, just a tablet, no key, just a code for the door, no check out, just text them when you are done, it couldn't get easier and smarter. Rooms have Roku, USB chargers, tooth brushes and paste, so you can travel light. 3 min drive from downtown and close to attractions

We had a wonderful stay! I absolutely love the cozy rooms—their quaint design are such a breath of fresh air from the usual hotels I stay at, and their amenities are generous. We really appreciated the slippers! Parking was great, and love that it is a short drive to Solvang. Might recommend implementing quiet hours—our neighbors had the TV on loud all night, but that was an inconsideration on the guest’s behalf and not the hotel. Am also grateful to Sally for her attentiveness. Can’t wait to stay again!

The stay did not go exactly as planned. Throughout the evening there was something clawing at the ceiling in the room. It was just past 0100 when it started so there was really nothing we could do to change the situation. We left a message with management in the morning, without response. We will have to think twice before staying or recommending in the future.
