"Our room was very clean! The bed was excellent! Had in room coffee + microwave oven & a larger than standard refrigerator. The only glitch was on day two the tv was stuck on one channel. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful! However, it was discovered it was a nation wide issue with Direct TV ! Not their fault. As for the breakfast, it consisted of coffee both regular and decaf + baked goodies from a local bakery, very good! + instant oatmeal. The location is very convenient right in the middle of town. You can walk anywhere! All in all a very nice pleasant stay and the price was well worth it! Just a note, the front office staff was outstanding, pleasant and helpful. 5 stars for sure👍"

"Really enjoyed the cottage. It had a nice kitchen and all the plates, cookware you would need. Very friendly and helpful staff. A picky item but Netflix (or an option to use your account) on the tv would be a good addition. After a day of wine tastings it would be good to watch a something other than the local or sports channels."

"The staff were so friendly despite us arriving from a long road trip at 1130pm. They already had 2 pack and plays SETUP for us in a layout fruendly fashion in the room when we got in. This meant the world to us since we came with two toddlers. There was an abundant and delicious free breakfast delivered to our room in the morning. The room was spacious and very clean. The lication is prime for exploring solvang. We were anxious about our 1st road trip with toddlers but this place started it off right for us. We cant thank you enough."
