Stayed here one night in the middle of the week on the way to Disneyland with kids and grandkids. The motel is reminicent of 60's style motels, updated a bit, and the location is within easy walking distance to the shops and bakeries of Solvang. Staff very pleasant, tasty fresh baked pastries in the morning in the lobby. My little... more

Currently, the hotel that is pictured here, and the reviews underneath, are of the Holiday Inn Express in Solvang. This is not the same as the America's Best Value Inn in Solvang. Reviews of America's Best Value Inn can be found under "Svendsgaards Danish Lodge" in Solvang. Svendsgaards is the correct hotel associated with America's Best Value Inns. more

We had an absolutely delightful stay while we were in Solvang, and a key piece that made this possible was the hospitality we had as guests at Svendsgaard's Lodge. Everyone from the people behind the counter to the breakfast lady to the cleaning and maintenance staff were all welcoming, friendly and helpful throughout out stay. Our room (and the bed!)... more

Our stay at Svendgaard's Danish Lodge was 08/17/09-08/19/09. After reading some of the reviews and comments about the staff I was hesitant to book our room here, but I decided to take a chance. Reservations for a deluxe king room were made on Expedia. Check in was a breeze, in fact the ladies at the front desk were quite friendly... more

I was worried that we would receive unfriendly service from reading two other reviews, but was totally delighted with the reception and check-in process. They couldn't have been nicer and were so accomodating to us traveling with a 14 month old. The crib was all set up and the room was huge. The king suite with kitchen (#51) is a... more

The rooms were nice enough, but I will never go back due to the unbelievably rude service provided at checkin. There was some confusion regarding our reservations and the lady at the front desk made no effort to resolve the situation. A gentleman stepped in to "help", and instead suggested that it was our fault for making the reservations online,... more

First I will start with the service UNFRIENDLY! "Lori" has to be one of the rudest people I have come across working in a hotel. She does not say "hello"or "thank you", nothing that a person in the service industry should say. Our room was ok if you like the smell of mildew. There was a four inch hole in... more

The surrounding area: It is located along Mission Dr which is walking distance to all Solvang museums, popular bakeries (Olsen's and Mortensen's) and restaurants (Paula's, Red Viking, Solvang Restaurant), shopping and wine-tasting. The main tourist area of Solvang itself is tiny - and we were able to leisurely walk-around with grandma and pre-school kids in strollers. It is also close... more

We stayed in Solvang for 1 night to break up our long drive to Disneyland. We heard it was a cute town. It is, with cute shops and nice parks too. This hotel was nice and clean. Not fancy, but fine with us. Staff were all friendly. We had originally booked a deluxe room with 2 q beds. It was... more
