Dalia
We have visited Solvang twice, but hotel prices there are a bit high. On both occasions, we stayed at this place because it is reasonably priced and located just minutes from downtown Solvang; the experience was very good, the room was very clean and equipped with a fridge and microwave, and the reception staff were very friendly. We will certainly stay here whenever we visit the area.
Jorge
No swimming pool
Donald
An excellent place for the price
Jay
The shower spray nozzle. I don’t normally hop into a shower with it, spraying down on my body. It was a over sensitive spray.
Victoria
Helpful staff, clean room
Tina
We just needed a clean, safe place to sleep for the night. Outdated, rough around the edges. Sheets rough, only 2 pillows. But compared to other properties that were over $320/night, this was just fine.
Lily
Helpful and friendly staff (Ray).
Old furnishings and fixtures, but well-maintained and clean overall.
Plenty of parking spaces.
In a quiet area.
Good water pressure in the bathroom.
Bath towels are smaller size and thin.

Peter
Very tidy and clean. Nice rooms.
kathleen
Ray is always warm & friendly. The hotel is well cared for & always clean. I’ve stayed there 4-5 times & I’m never disappointed. It’s just a short jaunt down the 101 to Goleta to visit my kid in college!
Stanislav

2nd time staying here. Space was clean. AC and fridge and everything we needed works fine. Close drive to Solvang and ostrichland. Easy to get in and out of the parking lot.
Andrea
Everything was great. The only thing lacking was an extra trash can. The only one was in the rest room.
Michael
Great service and a good location. Restaurants nearby. Refrigerator worked very well and the microwave was a nice addition. The air conditioner worked very well too! Comfortable place just a little outdated. I would stay there again.

The person who checked us in was very friendly. He made sure the room was ready for us and even offered to turn on the refrigerator. The room itself is quant, but clean.
Yuri
The owner was so good. My stay was comfortable.
Les
It's an old little property that could use a bit of a touch-up, but it was clean, very conveniently located, and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Ryan
The main reason for the great review was the cost/quality ratio. For what we paid it was a great experience. The hotel was very quiet and the room was homey. There was a fridge, a microwave, and a TV with cable and internet access. (more than some expensive hotels!) Would stay here again if in the area.
Erick

Gerardo
Very clean and well maintained property
Josiah
Check in was a great and smooth experience. The guy checking me in was really kind. And he told me everything I needed to know, how to reach him, WiFi password and details on the room and check out. There was also communication via text hours prior to check in. Everything was clean and put together in the room as well. The only issue I had a little bit was handling the lock on the door. I had a hard time locking it from the outside, so I locked from the inside and closed the door to lock it.
John
Very old building & room , very old fashion decor No breakfast or breakfast area
Brian
Room was clean, quiet, great water pressure, great location
Jasmine
It was great. My family and I would come back !
Robert
A nice place to lay your head down. A short drive to Solvang
Marita
We needed a room for the night, one that was close to the 101. The room was affordable, clean, and the bed was comfortable. Ray was kind and helpful.
Renee
Unfortunately threre was a city festival & the driveway to the motel was closed off. Had to park very far away and carry luggage at check in and check out. Front desk did help with luggage for check in and helped me find parking
Eric
Charming and very clean room. Great shower water pressure. Staff was really nice and personable. Will stay again when we come through.

Jacob
They hired a roofing company to work on the roof at 7 AM on a Saturday right above our room.
Peter Paul
Gotta say this was a great place to stay for price. Friendly staff easy check in . Room was very clean as thats the biggest thing for us. Beds are very comfy too. Now place and rooms are older and outdated but that does not mattter as it had everything we needed and again CLEAN. Now if you're looking for a luxurious option this is probably not for you. But if you're not needing a luxurious and expensive place this is it. We will Definitely stay here again.

Older property but with everything needed. Very nice owner.
Wyatt
The property was nice for what you pay for. Staff was nice and helpful the only thing that I didn't like is that there is nothing around interms of what to do. When we stayed there was power outage and thus Solvang was closed and so was half of the town. I was a tad bit afraid cus the hotel room locks from the outside so when I would turn the knob the door would open so I was always unsure if the door was securely closed.
Jim
clen Budget Friendly
Clean just an old motel. Owner was helpful and friendly. No Frills. Budget friendly.
Saurabh
Not worth it
If there is no option then stay at this motel else look for better one. Very old place for the price over $100. We paid $170 for a old moldy motel definitely not worth it.
Ernesto
Staff is very friendly and welcoming. The room was super clean. Has everything u need for ur stay.
Jacqueline
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.

The property could use some upgrades, but the price was below others in the area. It was clean, no smell, and easy to get to. Staff was very helpful and nice.

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.
Tina
Clean room for a one night stay. Would stay again.
Lance
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.
Zhanna
Nice friendly staff
Tom
I enjoyed the two nights I spent there
Quiet, clean and comfortable. Friendly front office people. The air conditioning and mini fridge were a nice touch. San Marcos Motel was exactly what I needed.
Sabrina
The check in person was super friendly!
Ben
not enough pillows,need coffee maker and iron
Darlene
The ease of check-in was nice after a long drive. The room was clean, simple, no frills and exactly what was needed for a shower and some sleep. Very quiet until the neighbor enters their room, then you realize the walls are kind of thin. Fortunately, the noise didn't last long. Bathroom was clean. Being your own toiletries as a small shower bar and a sample pack of conditioning shampoo is all that is provided. I would stay here again if I'm needing an affordable spot. Enjoyable nights stay for a last minute trip. Thank you!!
Liv
Very bare bones room but did the job. Facility was very clean and staff, especially front desk person with the septum piercing was super kind!
Jennifer
Decent spot for doing a quick wine tour! Nothing fancy but clean & neat. Owner/manager was very friendly and welcoming…. Walked us to the room to make sure everything was in working order. Better price than anywhere else in town!
Renee
It was great. It was short notice when headed to Solvang, so it was great!
Sean
Nice spot
Antonio
Place need to be updated, to expensive for a hotel with old rooms and old furniture
Paula
The hotel manager was courteous. The room was very depressing and smelled like smoke. The bathroom was clean. My pillows on the bed were extremely dirty and downright unsanitary. They had pillowcases but one pillow slipped out and I couldn't believe how filthy they were. They were stained with dirt and who knows what and had hair all over them. I thought about calling for new ones but then I thought why bother. If this is what they're putting on their beds I doubt new ones from the front desk would've been any better. I ended up wrapping them up in bathroom towels and put a jacket over them. I didn't sleep well at all and decided to sleep on top of the bed covers. No telling what the sheets would be like. If I could get a refund I would. I booked it based on the reviews but big mistake. They really need to upgrade all bedding, pillows and beds. This was a last-minute booking and I truly regret it.
Stephanie
Very kind courteous respectful staff all around. Privacy respected and a good value. Comfy beds and bedding, you can see and smell the clean and quiet too.
Hemalatha
The place is outdated, needs to be refurbished.
Pat
The television was not working
Brian
Tiny little soap and no shampoo, towels like sandpaper dark room with poor lighting and below a motel 6 as far as clean. Heater was rusted on vents no TLC
Anthony
Was as much as a motel 6. Way better motel than most for that price. In the state as far as I know. Will definitely be coming back.
