Our second visit to Solvang, this quaint not to be missed small town of Danish heritage. Best to arrive after dark to experience the wow factor, the spectacle of fairy lights and 'gingerbread' properties. It feels like Christmas celebration every day! Most of its accomodation is on a motel style, we prefer hotel and therefore chose Holiday Inn Express with... More

We stayed for two night for a weekend getaway. We got in early and tried to check in and after wating in line the people in front of us were checked in and given water bottles and chocolates. When I approached I was told to come back later. A few hours later I again waited in line and watched as... More

Hotel front desk needs more training in writing clearly. Internet coordinates were illegible. parking is underground. Electrical outlets in room were loose and hard to put plugs in and keep them connected. Electricity in sink area went out. This is an older building, converted to hotel space. It is just ok, but certainly not great. More

We were staying here for one night for 1/2 marathon in town. Check-in was okay but i wouldnt say she was friendly or overly helpful. The room smelled like an old hotel room. There were gross stains on the hotel curtains. The toilet wouldn't flush but they did send someone to fix the chain in the tank but by the... More

So found 2 rooms on Hotwiremfor $491. Ok, pretty pricey for a one night stay for 2 rooms, but that isn't the problem. At check in, I was assured that hotwire only charged me for 1/2 of the $491 and that my card didn't go through for the balance. The attendant assured me that she would charge the other $240... More

We regularly stay at holiday inn hotels, we are priority club members, but we will never use this hotel again. On arrival we were greeted by by a very unkempt receptionist, dirty shirt and fingernails and he had what I can only describe as a very strange manner. The hotel is made up of a series of buildings joined by... More

This was a convenient stop for us between UC Santa Cruz and a visit the following day to UC Santa Barbara. Convenient free underground parking. Pleasant staff and decent breakfast. I booked this property on Priceline and got a reasonable price. More

We stayed there for one night, March 30th. As we brought our stuff up to the room and went to lay down for an hour or so before going out for the night, it seemed pretty loud. There were kids being loud in the hallway and there were lots of slamming doors. It was afternoon, so, not a bid deal.... More

We spent one night at the Holiday Inn in Solvang and we had no complaints. We got a handicap room so the shower was kind of a pain but the room was clean and very quiet. The staff was friendly. The bed was a little soft but I had no trouble sleeping. The breakfast was pretty good but Paula's down... More

This is an OK hotel if you want someplace decent to stay for a weekend or quick trip. The front staff was always friendly and greeted you. Our room was towards the back so it was quiet. The room and bathrooms were a good size for the price. The King size bed was decent but not great. The breakfast buffet... More
