Breakfast was sufficient to get you going for the day; no complaints.
I wish the AC in the fitness room worked and some accessories for the multifunction machine. Show drain was a bit slow, would eventually puddle.
Overall, the hotel felt homey and comfortable. Highly recommended.

Solvang’s Wine Valley Inn is THE perfect place to stay while enjoying this lovely part of California. The sweet little village town of Solvang & its Wednesday Farmers Market is all within walking distance, Los Olivos & San Ynez are a short drive away, the big blue lake is about 20 minutes drive. We stay in the Cottages. The freestanding ones are like little houses with a yard & hot tub. These are definitely preferable for privacy & quiet enjoyment. Separate living area, fireplace, kitchen, dining area. Plus pet friendly. Just perfect! Don’t miss Rainbow Spa for a fabulous massage… about 5 minutes up the street. The staff is friendly & accommodating.
It’s a beautiful hotel, reminiscent of a charming European town. Really nice all year round (plus central air/heat) but spectacular during the winter holiday. Come to Solvang & stay at Wine Valley Inn :-).

Well we paid in advance and arrived around 11pm for a business trip. They did save us a room and when we went to it we were disappointed. Bathroom was not clean, there was an apparent cleaning rag near the tub. Maybe someone was going to clean it but got distracted? There was a ring around the tub, grout was very dirty like it had not been cleaned in a long time. I informed the staff and they told me all the other rooms were rented and they could not switch rooms. They do offer to come and clean the bathroom personally. Attempted to. Lean bathtub, grout remained unclean in several places. We paid a lot more than this place is worth. Free breakfast was scrambled eggs that diced down so much you had to eat it with a spoon. Never had to eat an egg with a spoon before! There are many places where there is neglect of maintenance with dry rot seen on the stairs. I would attach photos but there is no option to do that. The manager did give us a bottle of wine to try and make it up to us. It didn’t really make up for it but we didn’t want to be rude and refuse their apology. We greeted several of the staff with “good morning” no one returned the salutation .
The town is quaint but many stores were closed during the week. Bakeries were not as good as I would have thought. Apple turnovers at the bakery close to this hotel were not very tasty despite being told they were fresh out of the oven. Pay $20 or so more and try another place to find a good bed and sleep.

Wine Valley Inn was a wonderful place to stay with our dogs! The hotel was dog friendly, very clean, and the grounds were well kept. Our room was a decent size, and we had a comfortable bed and great AC to keep us nice and cool while we were relaxing after a long day of walking around Solvang. The hotel is in a great location, just off the \"main drag\" of Solvang, but close to everything and walking distance to restaurants, shops, etc. The daily breakfast was simple, but good, and there were great amenities including a fitness center and spa on location (we didn't use either, but saw them there). If we ever find ourselves in Solvang again we would absolutely consider staying here again!

This is a sweet little hotel full of Danish charm. I didn't make use of the breakfast (I'm a sleeper) but I did enjoy a free glass of wine during one of their happy hour nights (a delicious semi-local Chardonnay, and I don't usually like Chardonnay). The check-in process was easy (if the space was small and busy), the front desk team helpful and kind, and the parking options fantastic (though Solvang generally has good, free local parking.

I think the place was recently remodeled as one end of the rear parking lot was full of retired wardrobes, dressers, and nightstands. I had a Tower queen room on the third floor, which meant I could take an elevator to the 2nd floor, and then walk up the rest of the way (tricky if you have any mobility issues), or walk up the 3 flights. The room itself was super fun, with all the quirks and angles of Danish architecture. The furnishings were really clean and modern, and the bed was reasonably comfortable. The bathroom tile and fixtures were really nice, but the shower only had the one relatively light setting (not my preference, but fine).

The only complaints I have are: the blinds don't block any light, so bring an eye mask. And, the room's door doesn't fit totally seamlessly, so I had a few buggy friends join me on the first evening as a result.

Otherwise, great location and gets the job done. I might aim for the Landsby next time if I want luxury.

The Wine Valley Inn has a great location in Solvang and it is close to everything. However the rooms were a bit outdated and the walls are super thin so you can hear everything around you. We were facing a parking lot for our stay which isn't the best. I feel the website photos make the place look more higher end then the place actually is. With that said, it is very comfortable and the staff is accomodating and they serve wine each day between 6-7pm at night and have some cozy places to sit outside around several fireplaces. They also provide a exercise room which many hotels do not. I would stay here again but I would like to not be facing a parking lot.

We stayed at the Wine Valley Inn last year and enjoyed it very much. Our room was large, with a large walk in shower and a little patio. The breakfast was generous and highlighted by wonderful Danish parties. No Danish this year, apparently too expensive. Breakfast was spartan.
This year, we had a small room facing the parking lot, where, twice, someone’s car alarm went off. The bathroom was small, the only refrigerator in the room was the honor bar with little room for anything else. The worst part was the people in the unit above us must have been washing clothes or something in the bathtub, because the water would turn on for a minute or two and, unlike when showering, go full blast,sounding like a jet engine. This went on for over an hour until well after 10 pm. On two minutes, off maybe five minutes. There is clearly some problem with the plumbing to be so loud and no insulation between ceilings. It was a truly miserable night. Solvang is a delightful place, but we won’t stay at Wine Valley Inn again.

The room was not at all reflective of the photos online which was disappointing as that's part of the reason I booked this over another property. There were issues with cleanliness, though the staff was quick to try and address them when I let them know. I think the property is just a bit worn out and needs some updating. Unfortunately, the walls are quite thin so we had a hard time falling asleep due to noise late at night from another room and of the hotel which I didn't anticipate since we were off of the main street.

Hotel needs a good power wash on all levels. Encountered many spiderwebs and the ground floor needs a freshen up. The step down to use the restroom in our room is dangerous and should be made into a ramp. The overall lighting in the room was not sufficient and could use some three-way bulbs in the light fixtures. Bedspread was both stained and torn. Breakfast was average with very few if any gluten-free options. For those who don't need gluten-free a Belgian waffle maker would be suggested. Also in a town that specializes in pastries there was not one offering of pastries on the breakfast selection.
Upon arriving at the hotel it would be helpful for the check-in process to include local things to do and local restaurant recommendations as it was challenging to find gluten-free options anywhere in town, for those not gluten-free a good burger place, pizza place, sandwich place etc. would've been helpful.
