Very cute inn with complimentary breakfast, drinking water on tap, mini golf, swimming pools, etc. the rooms were adorable as well. This place would have been a 5 star review if not for the paper thin walls. The walls were so thin and it made for such a horrible nights sleep. We heard the neighboring room vomit and use the bathroom in the middle of the night, pack their bags in the morning and the rustling of plastic bags, and we heard every phone alarm in our vicinity go off in the morning. We also heard the cleaning staff come in to clean the neighboring room in the morning. All this excess noise is even after we closed all the windows. read more

Super cute rooms. Offers a balcony. Nice common area in the central area. Pastries, coffee, juice offered until 10AM. They have staff until pretty late so if you have issues you can go to the front desk. It's become rare to have rooms with a bathtub these days so I appreciated they had one! read more

This location is PERMANENTLY CLOSED per their hotel. Only location open is in Santa Nella. YELP needs to mark this location as closed.

what a cute little inn in Boulder, CA. upon our arrival we were greeted by the receptionist. we checked in pretty late like 7 pm or so. they rooms were nice and had it unique charm. rooms were clean though some areas needed attention. count help but notice that there may have been a leak of some sort by the refrigerator. the carpet was wet. i was impressed that they had a letter or note saying all their water ( from the faucet was drinkable because it was filtered water) they have a big pool and couple of hot spas. along with some fire pits also they have nice balconies. the room had: microwave, mini refrigerator, iron, ironing board and plenty of towels along with drink ware. pea soup in is conveniently located near the freeway exits 246 and 101. which is nice and near by a lot of fast food restaurant. complimentary breakfast from 6am to 10 am. did not like that they have the old building next to them ( non vacant) there is plenty of parking for this inn. if you're on a budget this is a great option. read more

Clean rooms, nice coffee and pastry set up in the gazebo. Helpful front desk. Right next to the old Pea Soup Andersen's restaurant.

Simple and clean room. With refrigerator and microwave if you need it. The pool looks inviting but did not a chance to try it out because it was a cold day. We enjoyed the mini golf and connect 4 lawn game. Continental breakfast was sufficient and the danish pastries were excellent! Front desk was friendly and accomodating too. read more

Affordable, clean, and comfortable. The king bed was big, but very little support. It was also pretty loud in the shares courtyard, not getting quiet until around 1AM. Other than that, good place to stay. read more

First time staying here because the prices were a lot more reasonable than staying in Santa Barbara and Solvang. Such a cute family hotel! Swimming pool, hot tub, mini golf and fire pits. Our teens had a great time just hanging outside playing. The breakfast was danishes and muffins but better than nothing. We took a 10 minute drive down the street to Solvang, so it's a great location if you want to visit there. We will definitely be back again! The rooms were clean and comfy. read more

The lady at the front desk is very h friendly to minorities. When my girl and I arrived she didn't give the best customer service to the Asian couple and was very direct. She proceeded to tell my girl and I that we had to wait 15-20 minutes because they were cleaning our room. Then a lovely Caucasian couple got a room and the best customer service. When my girl asked why do we have to wait she said and I quote "Every time someone books with us they get an assigned room." Which is untrue because for once I was an Executive Chef at a Hotel and my girl has a degree in Hospitality Management. Little did the lady know, she was preaching to the choir. Then she said she can direct us to the workers and I quote "you can snap your fingers and tell them to hurry up." I'm not saying she's racist but it's looking that way. It so happened she gave us a room in the bottom and was very rude when my girl asked where it was. She said "I told you guys to drive around and park on the other side." She was extremely rude and unprofessional amongst being racist. I will never support this establishment. It was my first time in Solvang and she made it very hard for us after a 3hr drive. read more

Stayed here for a recent overnighter, was pleasantly surprised. Room was very clean and roomy. Bed was comfy. Staff were very nice and the whole place just seems to be clean and well taken care of. The only caveat is, if you're a light sleeper, the heater, that worked exactly as it was supposed to was a little on the loud side. If not for that, the stay would have been perfect. read more

I wanted to visit Solvang so I stayed at this hotel which is about 5-10 minutes away. The check-in process was smooth and there was free parking around the exterior of the hotel. The interior of the room was a little run down and outdated. My room had a microwave, fridge, and a balcony overlooking the courtyard. There was a TV in the room but didn't have a ton of offerings besides local and basic channels. Some amenities included a swimming pool in the middle, a putting green, corn hole, chairs and tables. There was complimentary breakfast but was just Danish pastries, muffins, and coffee. The pastries reminded me of toaster strudels; I'm not sure if they were store bought (probably) but they actually tasted pretty good. The hotel is within close proximity to Solvang which is the main attraction of the area. It's also about 45 minutes from Santa Barbara if you want to make that drive to a larger city. The actually town where this hotel is located (Buellton) doesn't have much, but this hotel has the basics. read more

It was truly a great stay. Room was ready and clean. Front desk person was very friendly. I'd definitely stay again. Free coffee and danishes in the morning. read more

Just to be clear, this is not 5 star hotel but definitely a 5 star motel in its class and price range. All the staff is very friendly, nice, and happy to help. The amenities are awesome! They have a pool and jacuzzi, a little mini golf, cornhole, and fire chat tables. In the morning they provide danish pastries and muffins along with oatmeal, coffee, and hot chocolate. Convenient location- very close to downtown Solvang, Mission Santa Inez, and the Ostrich farm. There are lots of restaurants and gas stations, and it is right across from the hitching post restaurant from sideways. Rooms are clean and standard with two Queen beds, coffee maker, microwave, and fridge. Great value! read more

Mold in our room, odor was terrible. Smoke alarm kept going off and I had to disconnect it. Not sure about all the good reviews as it's obvious the renovations were cheap, and probably covering up mold. We do NOT recommend this hotel, spend your money elsewhere. I also wouldn't put safety high on the list as our door had a one inch gap on the bottom. read more

Not 100% happy. Very outdated, next to the very gross looking now closed restaurant. It's right off the 101 and 246 so that was a plus. But... Pros: right off freeways and convientlh located between and close to Lompoc, solvang, Santa Ynez, los olivos, and Chumash. Women was nice when checking in. Jacuzzi. Cons: old and rundown. Pool and jacuzzi shuts down right at 10 pm. You have to walk around the entire building to get anywhere. The "breakfast" was non existent. We came both days and the food was gone, the watered down coffee wasn't hot, and the extremely watered down apple juice was gross. Everything closed so freaking early. It was 7 pm and nothing was open. The bed was so freaking soft and so loud I wouldn't surprised that the neighbors could hear us moving around. Walls are paper thin, could hear the couple next doors full blown conversation. Everything was uneven, the drawers wouldn't stay closed. Creaky floors. Water pressure was horrible. AND THEY SAID IT WAS REVAMPED RECENTLY. Will we come back? No! Do I want a refund? ABSOLUTELY!!! read more

The staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were cute and clean. The bed was comfortable and the towels were soft. That's what is important to me! Pool,putting green, inside courtyard and balcony is a plus. read more

The rooms are exceptionally clean and offer great value for your money. Our accommodation was quite spacious and included a mini refrigerator and microwave, with a hairdryer and iron also provided for convenience. There are numerous opportunities for relaxation and family activities, including cornhole, a large Connect Four game, and small fire pits perfect for enjoying a glass of wine by the fire. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

Clean room, reasonable price, conveniently located, and a nice courtyard with activities and a pool. Stayed here with a group of friends for an overnight road trip to Solvang. I'd stay here again. Right on highway 246 which leads to Solvang and just off the 101. read more

Service was very quick and efficient. Easy and quick to navigate. We stayed to go to Slovang for jules festival. And this place was not far off and very good in value and convenient to go everywhere read more

Fun little hotel, kids loved the pool and the putting green. Minutes walk from many restaurants. Ate at the hitching post which was nice. A little pricey but nice. 10 min drive to Solvang, had too many danishes and a few beers. Can't complain, when the kids are enjoying themselves. All that matters! read more

If you've ever actually made split pea soup, you would know how awful their soup is. Green pepper water. Seriously the worst split pea soup I've ever had. Campbells is better. Cute spot, but order something else! read more

Not sure how this outdated, run down poorly kempt motel gets good reviews. By far, the WORST experience at a motel or hotel in my 60 years. We arrived at 5:30 AM after fleeing the fires of Los Angeles. We needed a place to stay for a few nights trying to stay out of harm's way. Gama was very friendly and welcoming and did his best to take care of us, find us a room and let us check in early considering the circumstance. This was 5:30 am on Saturday and he gave us until noon Sunday for the price of one night. Very kind. BUT, we went to our room, at first everything seemed fine, until.....the beds. UGH. VERY uncomfortable, not firm in the least, so soft you sink into it and can't get out, and the sheets and bedding COVERED in a smelly cleaning product. it was nauseating. I couldn't sleep a wink in this bed even though I was exhausted. The sheet and blanket smells were giving me a headache. I tore the blankets off the bed to just lay on the flat sheet to decrease the stench and what do I find on it? POOP. Yeah.....fecal marks on the sheet. We gathered up our stuff that we loaded into the room put it ALL back into the car and went down to the front desk. By this time it is six hours later and the nice guy was off duty and instead was a frowny blonde-wigged woman with a mean look. We told her how uncomfortable we were and were leaving without any sleep and sickened by the sights and smells. She wouldn't give us a discount even after only being there for six hours, so we paid and we left. We will never return and I warn anyone going there that needs a clean FIRM comfortable bed. FORGET THIS PLACE. It's had its heyday and is running on fumes. Literally. read more

Pea Soup Andersen's Inn - Poop marks on the fitted sheet. Great housekeeping, huh? It even looks fresh, not a stain. - Hotels Near Me - Buellton, California

My wife and I travel all the way to Buellton,CA about six miles away from Solvang and Chumash casino resort to see comedian Gabriel Iglesias better as know as Fluffy doing an appearance at Chumash Casino Resort. We know the Chumash will be pricey what we did we book a hotel nearby then we booked at the Pea Soup Anderson's Inn walking distance from the world famous Pea Soup Anderson's restaurant. We got a great deal at the Inn when we arrive it looks very nice we step to Inn to check inwe got our room. The room is very nice clean the outside look nice they have a pool.

Cool spot for a themed motel. However, even though they share the same name, they are not affiliated with the Pea Soup Restaurant which is next door. Room was clean and had everything you needed. Rates were very reasonable, especially compared to Solvang which is only a 10 minutes drive from here. There is a pool and jacuzzi where we spent some time in the evening to relax after a long drive. read more

I am sad to announce the following 100-year-old California Pea Soup Andersen's closes without public notice Jan 2024. This was confirmed by 3 new sources. The building is going to possibly be redeveloped for housing The Interstate 5 location of Pea Soup Andersen's in Santa Nella remains open and ready to serve weary travelers. So you will need to travel north for that Pea Soup fix read more

It was by luck that I found Pea Soup Andersen's Inn. Went to my niece's graduation at UCSB and because we were traveling a distance needed a place to stay the night before. After thoroughly researching the multitude of motels in the Santa Ynez/Santa Barbara area, I found that Andersen's was the best deal and just 35 minutes away from campus. Upon arrival, (we arrived after 9pm) the clerk was helpful and quick to check me in. We were tired after the long drive and weren't sure what to expect since we're unfamiliar with the area. We were pleasantly surprised when we walked into our 2 queen bed room. The room was nicely cleaned, fresh smelling, the bathroom/shower was separated from the sink with their own areas which is nice because in the morning after showering I was able to get ready while my husband showered and we didn't get in each other's way. The room also has microwave, mini fridge and air conditioner. The view from our balcony was beautiful directly in front of the pool and gazebo. There are some mini attractions such as a nice sitting/socializing area. In the morning they offer continental breakfast, which consisted of juices and great tasting danishes. This is always a great money saver so you don't have to start your day on a completely empty stomach. All in all, everything went well, the motel is peaceful and clean. The staff, from front desk, housekeeping and the gentleman serving the continental breakfast, all were kind and all smiles. The treatment is enough to make anyone feel welcome and want to come again. We would definitely use Andersen's for a place to stay if we ever get back to the area. Thank you! read more

Closed permanently. Tourists try and argue with me that it is not but, I have been told by several locals it will never open again as the owners lost interest. Sad, it was fun and pretty darn good food. read more

We went to Solvang for a road trip and decided to spontaneously stay overnight. We were so glad to have stumbled upon this place and we have no complaints at all. From the Solvang town proper, it was a smooth 6 minute drive going to the inn. The location of the inn was close to gas stations, a grocery, a pharmacy and other fast food chains. Upon check in, we were warmly greeted and given the cards to our room. The staff also gave us a "passport" that included discounts and freebies around the area of Solvang. The room was clean and has everything you need for a few nights stay. They also have a heated pool and jacuzzi that we absolutely loved!!! read more

I am giving the inn 3 stars as when I ran the water I noticed the bathtub was dirty. I did show the front desk. Also the fan in bathroom was full of mold. On a bright note the bed was great so comfy. The bed alone made it worth it. Nice fridge in room, the lamp on dresser did not work so you could not charge cell phone. I would come back read more

Pea Soup Andersen's Inn - Dirt running down tub - Hotels Near Me - Buellton, California

This place was awesome and nostalgic. Grew up coming when visiting Solvang. The pea soup was great!! Wish the restaurant was still open in Buellton, California. read more

Stayed for two nights for the first weekend out of town since the pandemic. Even though the restrictions are easing, COVID-19 is still around, thus I will be more lenient with the rating.... This is obviously a budget model and we are budget travelers. I prefer to spend my $$$$ on other things, instead of splurging on the room. So staying at Pea Soup Anderesen's, our expectations were somewhat correct. It is a cute older budget motel, in a great location. It is also very outdated, and in need of some TLC. For example: - Hallways are loud and locks loose. Each time the neighboring room would open their door, we thought someone is trying to get into ours'. - Walls are paper thin. Recommend to bring earplugs if light sleeper. - Mattress is decent, but pillows are small and not very plush. - Shower head is cheap, and water pressure is low. - Rooms are clean overall, though there are few dirty spots on the curtains. - Cable TV has good choice of channels, but is grainy/SD. - Continental breakfast is included, but very limited. Got coffee only. They also have a pool and a hot tub (reservations needed), but we didn't bother. It is def too early to share the same water with other people. Parking is plentiful, but room layout is somewhat confusing, especially at night when there is not much light around. Considering the price of the more established properties in Santa Ynez valley, Pea Soup Andersen's is an OK value for the money. Would we stay again? Maybe, but only if there is nothing better available for the price. If not for COVID, I would be more inclined to rate it 2.5 stars, but since everyone is having a tough time, 3 stars it is. It was a great weekend in Santa Ynez, even though the hotel wasn't. Not that I expected it to be. But even for a budget motel-yea, it could/should be (much) better... read more

Had a great stay. Very family friendly with a great outdoor space to hang out and play games.

Not fancy, but very good value for the price. We got a 2-Queen roomfor 2 nights, and it was just $149 the 1st night, and $92 the 2nd. Met a couple from British Columbia who are staying for 2 months! There's a simple pool and jacuzzi in the courtyard and a few lounge chairs. Even though it was a brisk 60 degrees, it was nice in the sun, and enjoyed the hot tub. Met some nice guests there, too. Room was clean, good-sized, had a little table and balcony and mini-fridge. Good location to explore Buellton (loved our lunch at Industrial Eats and dinner at Hitching Post II), check out Ostrichland, go to nearby Solvang, Los Olivos and Santa Ynez, or even Santa Barbara (about 35 mins away). I would definitely stay again. read more

Receptionist Tom was super friendly and accommodating. The hotel was clean and comfortable. Perfect room at a perfect price.

I really enjoyed this place. Family friendly and a clean hotel to rest your head. Staff was friendly upon arriving. Hotel was nice and clean. Pool and spa is heated. A putt putt green will keep the kids and golf Enthusiast entertained. Located very close to Solvang. The continental breakfast had plenty of options and included danish's from Olsen's bakery in Solvang. The room was nice enough. They also offer 10% off at the restaurant when you stay at the hotel. The soup was very tasty at the restaurant and brought back great childhood memories. I would definitely go back to this classic old school hotel. read more

SUPER clean, rooms are spacious with all the amenities available. Microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker for 2 cups of coffee, hair blower, iron with ironing boards, and towels are all available. We had a table in ours, and multiple drawers with even a closet. Body lotion, hand soap, 2-in-1 conditioner and shampoo, and body wash are in dispensing containers. We love that they have temperature control in the room. We used it to heat up the room and it was perfect. They had a TV with a DirecTV remote. We didn't use it though, so I don't know how it works. They do everyday housekeeping here unless you put a Do Not Disturb sign, and the housekeepers always left decorative things for us to find. Tap water is good to drink! There was also an ice box for us, though we didn't need to get ice. Bed was comfortable too! Complimentary breakfast was nice in my opinion. It was juice, coffee, and pastries from the Olsen bakery in Solvang, and honestly, that's enough for me. As all the reviews have mentioned, the courtyard is nice. They also have a well-maintained pool and a jaccuzi. We didn't use it because we went in the middle of December, but it looked clean and inviting. Because we went during the holidays, they gave us a pamphlet with all the things we could do in Santa Ynez Valley. They also gave us a "Pea soup Andersen passport," which had discounts for local eateries, wineries (a couple had free tastings), and activities in the area. It is also so conveniently located, because it is about 8 minutes away from Solvang, 45 minutes from Santa Barbara. It is right next to a gas station too. Overall, my partner and I only have good things to say, and we will definitely choose this place again. read more

This is a very large hotel with plenty of amenities. The rooms are clean and the property is well kept. It's very close to the pea soup Andersen's restaurant and other restaurants which are very good. My only issue with this property is it they have a interesting covid policy regarding their jacuzzi. You must sign up for your half hour of use and no one else can share it with you. I have never heard of a hotel using this procedure. Also I was not informed of this sign in sheet when I checked in. I would hesitate checking into this hotel unless you're prepared to either not use the jacuzzi or remember to sign up for your specified half hour of use. read more
