    Highly recommend staying at The Marlo when you're visiting Solvang! They are pet friendly as well if you're bringing along your fur baby. The staff here is extremely welcoming and helpful and are happy to share local spots to try in and around town. Victoria, thank you for all your awesome recs!! The rooms are nicely remodeled and were nice and clean. The proximity to town was perfect and we truly enjoyed our stay here!

    The Marlo will forever hold a special place in our hearts. My fiancée and I had the most incredible experience staying here during the weekend I proposed; and honestly, we'll only be staying at The Marlo from now on. From the very beginning, the staff went above and beyond to make everything perfect. They helped me plan the proposal and even found a fantastic photographer when I thought I wouldn't be able to get one in time. Their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail truly made the moment unforgettable. The location was perfect; beautiful, intimate, and not overly crowded, which made it the ideal setting for such a special moment. The staff helped set everything up beautifully, and their genuine warmth made us feel completely taken care of. On top of that, the hotel is perfectly situated; we didn't need an Uber once because everything we wanted to explore was within walking distance. I'm so thankful I found The Marlo. They helped create one of the most meaningful experiences of our lives, and we can't wait to come back again and again.

    I decided to take a chance on this hotel since they just refurbished the rooms & back courtyard. I'm very glad we stayed here. We were traveling with our dogs so having a room that is dog friendly & opened up to a nice, large courtyard was wonderful. We didn't take advantage of the lounge area in front of the large outdoor fireplace since the weather was warm, but we will on the next trip when it's cooler. It was so nice to leave our car parked at the hotel & walk around town from this location. It was very quiet & the king size bed was firm but comfortable. The air conditioner was a bit loud but not a big deal for us. Bathrooms were newly redone so everything was very clean & up to date. Getting to wineries from here was very easy. There are also wine tasting in town that you can walk to from here. The Marlo is definitely recommended. We will be back on our next trip for wine pick up.

    My husband and I stayed in the Solstice King Suite and it was everything we were hoping it to be. I worry about renovations taking the soul out of a place more often than not, but the updates are tasteful and added to the ambiance. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable, and quiet. The hotel is in walking distance to the main street goings on. The staff is very attentive and respectful. We loved it, our dogs loved it, we will definitely be back!

    Went to book a hotel for two nights here and their website has two different booking links on the home page. The one in the middle takes you to their affiliated booking site and the one in the top right takes you to a random unaffiliated hotel in Colorado. We accidentally booked the wrong hotel because of this and the man at the front desk was very rude and unaccommodating trying to work through this with us. Just be warned if you're booking online that you use the right link.

    Stayed in room 23 on 11/21/25 - 11/22/25. This room had several bugs in the bed and bathroom. I was able to get a few pics and found out they're German cockroaches. I am only posting a review because the front desk says they have never had a guest say this and idk I find that hard to believe so this will forever be proof for them to look back on if the next guest mentions it.

    WOW!! The Marlo is amazing!! When our friends decided to celebrate the birthday in Solvang they shared with us the hotel they were staying at (which wasn't the Marlo btw) to book a room they no longer had rooms available. So I looked to see what hotels that were close to our friends. The Marlo was directly across the street. Not thinking to much we book a room at the Marlo. And let me tell you this I am glad we did!! We travel quite a bit and I have to tell you the Marlo has them beat. From the amazing room to the wonderful staff. We drove out from the Inland Empire and we stopped to spend a good portion of the day in Santa Barbara before heading to Solvang. I received a text message from the staff confirming our arrival time and advised we would be there after 6pm. Being that their office hours are 9a-6p they advised me no worries that they will put my room key in a lockbox and provided me the combination for it. When we arrived a little after 6:30p located the lock box with ease and boom key was there. The next morning I received a text message from the staff asking how our first night was and if there was anything that we would need. Now like I mentioned we travel and have stayed at a lot of 5 star hotels and I can tell you never received that personal attention. We did text asking for some more coffee and coffee cups (I drink a lot of coffee) and they replied instantly we weren't in our room at the time however they asked for our permission to deliver them to the room without us being there which was awesome! Our room was great, clean, modern and comfortable. You enter and they had the wet bar with the coffee, a little living room with a fireplace and tv. The bedroom was good sized and the bathroom had all the modern touches of a resort. We enjoyed the back courtyard which was spacious and cozy during a beautiful evening. Sorry for the long story and I will end it with this. The Marlo is the place you will want to stay at when visiting Solvang. Walking distance is close to everything you need. The Marlo is my number one pick for are future visits.

Staff was available and helped me pick the room for my needs before booking. They accommodated an early check in (small fee). Check in and out was easy. The room felt more like a little apartment vs a hotel room. The one we got was large with a nice patio and fire pit. I love that they have an empty fridge and microwave for you to use. The bed was comfy, hot water and good shower head. Clean and well maintained. There is also a clean separate communal restroom to use for #2 if you need it . While a slightly further walk from the downtown area, we had nice issue walking. Give this place a try. They're doing it right!!

When you combine the two, I'm sure the maintenance of the facilities is quite the task. The checkin was through Cloud beds, which meant there was absolutely no personal contact whatsoever. I checked in via a link, was given a code and viola. The motel has gone through some cosmetic restoration, but I'm not sure it's enough for a 5 star recommendation. The tub was chipped, the paint was chipped in several places and we could hear every step from our upstairs neighbors (well placed rugs or carpet may have been helpful). That being said, it was clean and reasonably priced. I'm sympathetic to the arduous task it must be to maintain an inn with the tourist and inebriated.

Mini fridge and Keurig in room, no microwave if that's your thing. I was able to park right in front; I assume there are more spots behind the building. Staff were all very nice and welcoming. There's a lemon water station in the lobby, but alas, no coffee bar in the morning. Walking distance to restaurants and bars and shops and bakeries in the neighborhood. Not sure if the walls were just thin, or if the family (and their child) next door were extra loud, but I could hear them in the morning. I'll make sure to request a far corner next time I'm back. Overall, worth a return for sure!

    I am going to let you in on a little secret…read more... Yeah, I'm going to share with you what i THINK is the best kind of getaway, well, at least in my humble opinion. It's the kind that doesn't abruptly end, but it just sort of.... keeps on going. Let me explain. Have you ever gone on vacation and said to yourself, or to your spouse or even to your kids.... "Gee, I could have really used one more night" Or Let out the exaggerated (Ughh)... "I don't want to go back to work tomorrow, I wish we could just extend our trip by just one more day" Well... On a recent trip with my family, We INTENTIONALLY did just that. My wife booked us a 2 night stay in Paso Robles at a beautiful boutique style/chain hotel. (The Ava Hotel in Paso) (Check out my review for the deets) Usually, when we do these short, weekend trips, I work up until the day of our trip and then go back the very next day once we return... But, NOT THIS TIME! Yeah, This time, my wife intentionally told me, let's book one more night on the way home from our trip in Paso just to break up the drive home and enjoy one more day off of work and time with the fam. Heck, I've got loads of PTO and who wants to be at work anyway, so it wasn't too hard to twist my arm on this one. And just like that.... Solvang, Here we Come! Yes, the cute, quaint town of Solvang is the perfect destination for a weekend getaway or even just for a one night stay like we did. Of course, my wife, the Queen of finding the best places to stay/eat... (AND I AM THE ONE WHO IS THE "ELITE" haha) booked us a room at the Landsby hotel and it was nothing short of a treat. Here's why: The Landsby is more than just a room... Inside of a hotel... Located in the heart of this Danish town known as: SOLVANG It wasn't just, "let's build a hotel where the people can stay and explore the town while they are here". At least that's not the impression it gave me! Instead, The Landsby has a Charm about, it has Character and most of all it gives you the impression that you are in a modern-day Dutch village. But one of my favorite parts.... The Room Key, keyword, "KEY" Yeah! The room key is an actual Key!!! A metal, lock and key, just like the good 'ol days! Ain't no digital, pre-programmed, modern day, technologically advanced system like every other hotel does it.... And I liked it! And to match the old school style key... The t.v is in black and white, the internet is run on dial up and the telephone is a rotary dial..... JUST KIDDING!!!! But wouldn't that be cool! Aside from the small town European vibe that the exterior of the building gives you, once you step inside both the hotel and then your room, you are immediately transported to a place that feels welcoming, familiar and most of all comfortable. Because this was a short stay (just a one nighter) we didn't take advantage of the amenities like we normally do, but next time we will. A lobby bar (our favorite place to check out), an onsite restaurant (Mad & Vin which loos really good), an outdoor courtyard to sit and relax, and complimentary cruiser bikes to explore the town. The Landsby is Pet friendly, so definitely check out their webpage for details for your furry friends. So....... Now that I've let you in on my little secret, I don't want you to keep it that way! Spread the word! Pass it along! Tell a friend! Come check out the Landsby in Solvang!!

I was hoping they would have a check in machine similar to vegas hotels since no live staff. It was pretty loud to hear as another group was trying to check in too. I am giving a 3 due to service. The balcony door's lock was not working. I text them when we checked in to report issue with no response. The hotel room was beautiful and pleasant. I loved the nespresso coffee, the lounge area. They also had a reading lounge. Everything was artistic with great color, very new and clean. Another issue I had was that I booked through a 3rd party and prepaid room when over night I received an extra charge notification. When I called in the morning around 6:30 am I was advised no manger was available until 7 am and someone would call me then. I waited until 7:30 am as no one called me I called again. I was advised they were having systems issues with their app. Since it was a 3rd party the app was charging me the 3rd party charge. Which was $50 less what I paid to the 3rd party. I advised them I had already prepaid. They advised me they would release hold in 2-3 days. I called the 3rd party to advise the above. They called Winston staff as they shortly after sent me a text. I do believe Winston was in error to charge me while I had already paid the 3rd party. The funds were released the next day. Keep an eye on credit card notifications if stay here. Other than the above issue and Check in service I would stay here again. The room was comfortable with the exception of the balcony door not locking.

It was the perfect spot to celebrate without having to worry about transport. * The Rooms: Our room was spotless, modern, and incredibly comfortable.

We also had to specifically request the breakfast and 2-for-1 wine tasting coupons advertised. That said, each time someone helpfully turned up (or offered to do so). But each time it also felt like the bare minimum (how many towels do you want; how many coffee packets?)
