Nicely renovated motel. Would return if in area again. Check in and out was a breeze. Friendly staff.
ROOM:
• Adequately sized for 2 adults and 1 dog.
• Clean and tidy thought looks a little worn down in some areas (bathroom).
• Barnyard sliding door for bathroom not desirable — no privacy! :(
• Keurig, mini fridge, and microwave. 👍
• A/C unit needs to be replaced eventually, did not work half the time but we visited during winter so it was not a big deal.
• We requested and were accommodated a room away from the pool that was facing the back parking lot. Day time was active w/ the campers at the RV sister property, but we did not mind, as it quieted down by evening.
PARKING/LOCATION:
• Plentiful. Easy to get in and out.
• Location is not exactly pretty (next to freeway/gas station) but convenient.
• Downtown Solvang is a 2 min drive. Chumash casino about 15 min.
• We returned to our room around midnight and it was dead quiet even the hotel had a lot of occupants.
• Dog relief area clean and conveniently located in the back parking lot area.
LOUNGE/BAR:
• Attentive, polite staff.
• Good, strong drinks.
• Nice decor, cozy size.
• Crowd was middle aged 40 with what appeared to be some locals (good sign). Maybe younger crowds on the weekends.
• Closes a little early at 10pm. Would have liked to have some drinks before turning in but no biggie we drank at the casino.
