We arrived and found the beds to be very poor quality (think motel 6). I let them know my wife has a back injury and we wouldn't be able to stay. The owner arrived and informed me angrily that that was the only bedroom the had available and that they had already run my card and "We don't do refunds."... more

This little place is centrally located (as in 2 blocks away from it "all") but off the beaten track. We had a small room with a queen bed. It was decorated nicely, as many B & Bs are, with a lot of flowery things, and had a nice, newly re-done bathroom. The nicest thing was our "back door," which led... more

We stayed there recently with two other couples and enjoyed being attended to by Paul, his wife and staff. We went to Solvang to cycle and Paul is also a cyclist so he could provide excellent restaurant recommendations and route suggestions. He also offered bike storage so we didn't have to keep bikes in our rooms. Our room was recently... more

The innkeepers, Paul & Diana, are wonderful. The B&B is within easy walking distance to all of Solvang’s shops. It is just outside the busy downtown so it’s very quiet. The rooms are cozy. Ours had a kitchenette with a small sitting area off the main bedroom. My wife was able to stay up late and read in the comfortable... more

We were looking for a unique little inn for our weekend stay, and we found it! Solvang Gardens has a personality all its own, unlike so many chain hotels. I understand that some rooms are a little cozier than others (ahem, smaller), but the one we had was quite spacious. Our room had obviously been recently updated and looked to... more

We just returned from a weekend in at the Solvang Gardens Lodge. From the pictures that were available on their site, I was expecting so much more. The suite was small but with some nice touches, i.e. stone fireplace, marble bath, all as advertised, except that the newer improvements made to the property were inexpensive and did not match the... more

Solvang Gardens proved to be one of our very best boutique hotel experiences. We happened to have lucked out with getting an accomodation because the whole town was booked due to a bike ride that was going on that weekend. Our "suite" had a fireplace and the decor was such that it appeared we were somewhere in Scandanavia. There were... more

My husband and I traveled to Solvang for the weekend. We stayed in the room they called "Magnolia" which was small but very cozy! It was also very clean. The bathroom was beautiful. I believe it was re-modeled. The bathroom had granite floors, countertops, and the shower was also granite too! The room had a small closet that fit all... more
