A pleasant surprise, quaint, quiet and terrific find. My wife and love our Solvang get aways coming from Ventura County. We stumbled across The Marlo because we wanted to stay somewhere different. The Marlo is tucked away on Alisol Road but well worth checking out. The rooms are boutique in nature and the staff is welcoming. I'd highly encourage those who are willing to step out of what they know in Solvang and check out The Marlo.

I found several bugs in the room during the stay. I woke up to find a cockroach running across the bed. When I notified the front desk, they claim it’s never happened before and I would be given a discount. I was then ignored and never followed up with. I didn’t even care about a discount until they mentioned it and didn’t fulfill it. I find it unlikely another guest hasn’t experienced this so I wanted to leave a review so they cannot claim this has never happened to the next person that says it

Everything was perfect! Very clean, pet friendly, nice courtyard, very quiet, and walking distance to everything. Just a heads up if you are going check in late, they won’t send you the code and self check in instructions until after they close through text. They were kind of hard to get a hold of by phone when I initially called for self check in instructions which made me anxious but once I found out you can text them it was a lot easier. They text you often and check in to see if you need anything and respond much quicker through text. I highly recommend booking your stay here. I have already recommended this place to coworkers and friends!

This is a cute affordable hotel. It is has updated decor and was comfortable. The beds and pillows are comfortable. It was nice having a little refrigerator. We enjoyed the location. We were able to walk through the town of Solvang. Cute restaurants, bakeries and tasting rooms if you drink wine It is not the most luxurious or high end hotel but definitely cute for a long weekend. The only negative was the shower water pressure. They would service the room if you asked them to. I would stay at the Marlo again, most likely.

You can do better.

A few problems. The photos on your website are a bit deceptive of the actual property. It’s not as nice as it looks. It’s undergoing construction now. Our room, though clean and quiet was rather small with no closet space. The bed was great but the microwave didn’t work. WiFi was spotty. The electric outlet strip on one side of the bed did not work. There are much nicer hotels in Solvang in the same price range. I would not stay there again.
