Great little hotel !

The location is great, walking distance from everything (cafes, restaurants, bakeries, breweries and the trolley tour). We had an issue with our shower but it was fixed within the hour 👍. There is construction underneath the hotel due to a new winery (not sure when construction will be completed) a little bit of noise but only during work hours of course. Hotel has self check in and check out , no front desk. Inside of hotel is very nice and clean with a stocked honor bar. Parking is tight but outside parking is available. Great fun stay with my family.

King Suite is extremely lavish and huge. Although the location is contactless without staff, they were able to accommodate our special requests prior to arrival. Housekeeper Maria was very friendly and also assisted in our stay. The property is centrally located in Solvang and we were able to walk to all the restaurants and shops. Will definitely stay here again in the future.

Went 2 weeks before Christmas, it was a very nice spot compared to some of the hotels in the area, there’s no staff on site, it’s all done over the phone which is convenient, room was clean, plenty of space, with a nice bathroom. Only complaint would be the walls are a little in the thinner side, If you’re on the bottom floor you’ll hear your upstairs neighbors stomping around, and you’ll be able to hear your neighbors beside you talk. Definitely will be going back regardless.

A great place in the center of Solvang Downtown and literally across the street from the central park. Didn't discover it was an "invisible" front desk until after I booked. Was cool with that myself but could see how a less the tech savvy person would have a challenge. Also didn't realize that the pool and Jacuzzi was located at a sister site 1/4 mile down the road that we had access too but is inconvenient to utilize. The room locking system was NOT clearly defined. In our experience the room door always locks behind you when an automated lock is involved. Not this setup and we didn't realize that until the last day into our stay. Lucky for us...no one entered our unlocked room. My suggestion is that they have signage on the door stating that the door needs to be locked as you exit using the code also. The locking mechanism is actually one for a residential home. It's not that its bad... But better communication about how the door works would have been nice. I don't want to sound too negative. The place was pretty awesomely located and we didn't get back in the car for 2 days after arrival. The room was great with very minor nuisances like a slow shower drain. But my wife was able to relax and enjoy all of Solvang as if we lived their.

Solvang Gem

Winston was one of the nicest hotels we’ve stayed at. The room was large, beautifully decorated, immaculate and a huge bathroom. The hotel was self service which was something new to us but the front desk at the sister hotel gave us all the info we needed to find our room and let ourselves in our room. The town of Solvang was so cute and walkable.

We had a great time. The room and amenities were great. The only thing we would have liked is a dresser to put our clothes in and more hangers, we literally kept things in our suitcases for the two days, which was a a big deal, but it would have been nice to have somewhere to put our clothes. It would have felt more like home. Otherwise, it was awesome! So clean and well decorated. I loved that we were right in the middle of all the shopping and dining, we were within walking distance of everything. We will definitely be back.
