If they're wearing heels, you can hear that from a mile away. 2) The rooms are teeny tiny 3) Our room had two I want to say double beds, but I feel like the beds are somewhere in between a twin size bed and a double bed very small bed. They advertise online that their queen size beds. There was only a foot in between each bed. It is hard to walk in between each bed, especially if two of you are standing trying to go to your beds at the same time. 3) Two of us shared a room and there wasn't a whole lot of room to move around. If one of us was moving around the other one had to stay on the bed. I felt like I was camping in a tent, not even a cabin. 4) The bathroom (WORST PART) was EXTRA small. The door to the bathroom wasn't even a real door. It was a door that was frosted, so you could partially see through it, especially because it wouldn't lock or shut. You could hear the person using the restroom very clearly There was only one mirror in the room and that was in the bathroom. It was a small mirror over the small sink. The sink had barely any room for us to put our toiletry items on there. And there was no else to put our toiletry items, so we had to keep our items in the toiletry bag the whole time. The shower was extremely small. It was a shower that was a standup shower that would've been great for a disabled person with a wheelchair because it was one of those that you could wheel into. There was no tub for instance that had like a tub wall on each side of the shower head. The shower had one door to protect the toilet because the shower was facing the toilet, and a curtain that didn't go all the way to the ground on the other side. What that means is water went all over the ground of the bathroom and we were basically standing in a puddle of water. we had to use our towels on the floor to soak up the water when we were getting ready for our event. The toilet was also very small and had trouble flushing. We also had NO HOT WATER WHEN WE WERE THERE! Upon checking out, we did not get any discount for that. They were supposed to send a maintenance person and that maintenance person never showed up to fix it. 5) There was also no microwave, but there was a teeny tiny refrigerator that barely worked. 6) Barely any place to hang your clothes. Two drawers to put your clothes in and one drawer, where the nightstand was so again we had to keep things in our luggage. 7) There were a total of two outlets that we could use to either charge our items or plug-in something that we needed. 8) As well as, for Santa Barbara we were expecting hotels to be expensive, and we understood that this place was going to be expensive as well. But this place was completely overpriced for what we received. We will never be back.

A parking lot would be ideal. - The docent at the front of the Museum is very knowledgeable about local art expression opportunities. Chatting with her was such a pleasure. - I like that the Museum offered swag for purchase but I feel like the quality of the items could it be improved such as 100% organic cotton and a slightly more edgy branding/color palette for the clothing items. I would love to purchase something to support y'all.

"Small but mighty!" said the nice lady at the front desk…read more It is small, and currently there were two neat exhibits in the building that is also surrounded by a all the way mural - Meter & Time (by MOMO). Alicia Adamerovich's Conundrums is what you might call surreal, but the artist preferred abstract. The exhibit is a blend of traditional paintings on canvas to a variety of sculptures that have no explanation but the title and your imagination that asks you to think your own meaning up while you sit with it. The more traditional, but impressionist exhibit is Peter Krashes' Passage Through. Krashes combines new and old works to urban images that are often overlooked. The works also show the actions that help shape a neighborhood. My favorite was either Public Seedbomb or Cup on a Fence. Free. I thought it was nice, but don't expect to be blown away. The exhibits were interesting and the support staff were very kind. They answered questions, and were very proud of their little museum. If you have time, why wouldn't you stop to see what's in there. Check it out.

I was in Solvang last weekend and was just wandering down the main strip and randomly ran into this…read moreart museum. I saw it initially after it closed on Friday night, so made it a point to stop in on Saturday on my way out. I came in here around 11am on Saturday morning and what brought me in was one of the Dambo trolls that are permanently housed here, sweet!! I have loved Dambo trolls since discovering them a few years ago when I was in Denmark for Xmas holidays. I have also seen a few of them at Filoli Gardens in SF, but as of yet, have not found them in Denmark (yet), I will go back to find these trolls! This museum has a troll that is ceiling to floor and her name is Lulu Hyggelig she's permanant here in Solvang. I only took a look at this troll and looked around the museum shop. There was a suggested donation for the museum but the staff working here didnt seem that strict on collecting museum fees so that was nice. Definitely come here to check out this troll but also check out the museum, its small but its got a lot to keep you busy. Also, easy parking in the back which also makes it nice as this part of the street can get congested. Id definitely come back here again!

However, if you leave within two hours of entering the parking garage, parking is free. After parking, simply follow the signs to the main entrance. The grounds are beautifully maintained, with stunning views from the upper levels. There are plenty of fascinating artifacts and exhibits to explore, and the villa has many rooms to wander through, so plan to spend a few hours if you want to see everything. There is also a charming café and a gift shop. The gift shop has a lovely selection of unique jewelry, especially earrings, that are worth checking out.

Yeah, an odd piece of happenstance. Located in the northeast corner of Westmont College, Parking Lot 7 has two spots reserved for visitors but were both taken even though only one other person was in the museum. We probably illegally parked in Lot 8 but classes weren't in session so no one likely cared. Pedestrian signs help point to the museum. Their website said a health questionnaire needed filling out on the morning of the visit but wasn't required. As with most college art galleries, a permanent collection was not on display. Fortunately, the lower gallery (really a hallway) had three of their prized Rembrandt etchings on display. That alone, made the 15-minute visit worthwhile. The student show in the one true gallery displayed quality works. The museum isn't large enough to be a sole tourist destination so tack onto a hike to Tangerine Falls or Cold Spring. Or even better, the museum is less than a mile away from Lotusland (see https://www.yelp.com/biz/lotusland-santa-barbara-4?hrid=gd2G2ORYmCOEmaf89p2KvA&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) for more details).

It was pretty small to be called a museum, but what it lacked in size, it made up for with some very cool and powerful displays. The boats were especially impressive and definitely my favorite part.

Definitely worth stopping by while you're in town.
