Nice find in Solvang

Nice, over-sized rooms. Well appointed. This is a no- contact hotel. There is no lobby. You check-in by phone. However, the staff on the other end is very accomodating. The hotel sits on the 3nd & 3rd floors, above the local Irish Pub. Private parking and an elevator. Very quiet and walking distance to anywhere in Solvang. Will definitely stay here again.

Must stay in Solvang

The decor, free and easy self-park, room amenities, self-check in features, security, and easy access to staff by text message are amazing. The price for what is offered is unbeatable. We came for a one night stay and immediately extended for a second night!

Great place to stay!

Loved the “Invisible Service” check in and very much appreciated the onsite, off-street parking in a private lot. Well located a block away from the shops and restaurants. Enormous room and shower! 5 stars! Absolutely recommend staying here.

Great hotel and great location. The rooms were clean. This is more like an AirBnB for checkin. Once you get the code entry and exit was easy.

Cute hotel room, great location

Hotel is very cute in the center of town. Our room was very large with 2 king beds and a very nice bathroom. The room had an included noise machine to help with the sounds from the bar below. The room also had skylights but unfortunately one of the shade motors was not working and the shade only closed half way. Otherwise, very nice and would return.
Such a fun, funky room.
Farmers market right outside the hotels on Wednesdays.
Noise machine
Skylight that wouldn’t close.

If you've ever dreamed of checking into a hotel without seeing a single staff member, you're in luck. This place operates entirely via email and text—like staying in a cozy bed and breakfast run by friendly ghosts. The invisible staff are oddly comforting, always available, yet never spotted. Now, the real adventure? Arriving on a summer Wednesday. Thanks to the local farmer’s market, guests are directed to a barricade west of the park, down an alley next to the public restrooms (yes, really). From there, you're escorted by car through the market. Shoppers part like it’s the world's most polite parade—of one very confused guest vehicle. It's equal parts awkward and legendary. Once inside, though, it’s a gem. It’s got all the amenities you’d expect from a high-end stay, but with the cozy soul of a B&B. Cute gathering spots, the amenities are spot-on, and everything in town is walkable. It’s right next to a beautiful park and directly behind the friendliest little Irish pub you'll ever stumble out of. In conclusion: 10/10 would be guided through a maze of heirloom tomatoes again. The invisible staff? Lovely ghosts. The vibe? Wholesome yet mysterious. Just be sure to arrive with a sense of adventure—and maybe a horn to clear the kale crowd..
