The hotel is in quite a central location- withing easy walking distance of the Mission and other attractions of Solvang. The layout of the Inn is somewheat odd. You take the lift to your floor, then you have to pass over a bridge into another building before we reached our room. It was fine when we got used to it.... More

We were given the Handicap room. Not a problem really, except for the extra room features suited for wheelchair clients. Rooms were typical of the Holiday Express chain, no frills but quite sufficient for travel weary clients. The breakfast buffet was ok, my daughter particularly enjoyed the automated pancake maker though. The key feature that stands out for us, was... More

We ate their amazing Cinnamon Rolls and left the place feeling very smart. Actually the food is typical HI Express stuff. I agree with a previous reviewer that they should add a local twist to the menu. Otherwise it was an uneventful hotel experience - staff was nice and helpful. The beds, rooms and baths were as to be expected... More

We had a King Loft Suite which was very nice and close to downtown for walking. We found the staff to be helpful and the hotel was clean. I would recommend this to anyone who would like a comfortable place close to downtown Solvang.

Tried to complain this was not right, my card should not have been charged until I actully checked in, and only dealt with non English (Indian) speaking people, they claim it's like the... More

We made reservations at the Holiday Inn Express thinking that it was safer, even though a bit more expensive, since Holiday Inn is a known entity. At check-in, I was surprised at the unfriendliness of the staff at the desk. When I requested a "quiet" room, I was told that the room we reserved was the less expensive, standard room,... More

This hotel is one of the worst i have ever seen. First off when i go to check-in all i hear are two "indian" employees fighting in front of everyone! After checking in to my room my heater was not working i called to have someone fix it and they guy kept saying it was fixed but it wasnt. when... More

Perfectly located right on the 154 within walking distance of restaurants, shops, bakeries and wine tasting rooms. Close to Buellton and Los Olivos. Our room had a wonderful balcony overlooking green pastures and large oak trees.

OK...It's a Holiday Inn Express. It is pretty much like any other Holiday Inn Express, although I can say that after our stay I did not feel smarter. I'm still waiting for their ad to live up to its promise... The room was fairly clean and had a fridge and microwave. If you do choose to stay here I recommend... More
