Great for the price and location

It was clean, quiet and easy. It’s a 2 star motel, but the price and location to Solvang was great.

The room was what we expected based on the budget and location. Nothing special or exceptional, but generally clean and safe. It was a great budget-friendly option to visit Solvang, which was a quick 10-min drive away.

Convenient, Clean & Affordable

Highly convenient location. Comfortable bed, everything you need in a room, including refrigerator-freezer, AC, cable TV and wi fi. Not fancy by any means. Next to no bathroom amenities and the towels were on the small side and well washed. For the price we were pleased. I appreciate the convenience of driving up to the door and that all rooms were on the street level.
