Gotta say this was a great place to stay for price. Friendly staff easy check in . Room was very clean as thats the biggest thing for us. Beds are very comfy too. Now place and rooms are older and outdated but that does not mattter as it had everything we needed and again CLEAN. Now if you're looking for a luxurious option this is probably not for you. But if you're not needing a luxurious and expensive place this is it. We will Definitely stay here again.

The property was nice for what you pay for. Staff was nice and helpful the only thing that I didn't like is that there is nothing around interms of what to do. When we stayed there was power outage and thus Solvang was closed and so was half of the town. I was a tad bit afraid cus the hotel room locks from the outside so when I would turn the knob the door would open so I was always unsure if the door was securely closed.

Not worth it

If there is no option then stay at this motel else look for better one. Very old place for the price over $100. We paid $170 for a old moldy motel definitely not worth it.
