I wish the hotel's website description of the amenities had noted the availability of a microwave in the ice machine room because I had wanted to bring food that needed to be heated up, but I couldn't tell that was possible until after I got there. I was also pleasantly surprised to see a refrigerator and keurig-type coffee maker in my room, but I wish that had also been mentioned on the website.

Great stay! The room was clean, staff was kind. They were accommodating and answered really quickly. Parking was really easy. Overall 10/10. We will definitely be back.
It was cosy and had everything we needed plus some. Everything was very accessible and if we needed extras they were just a few steps away.
Check in and check out were simple. No safety concerns. We felt welcome. There were shops right next to us too, easy walk or quick drive if we needed snacks or drinks.

Thank you!

I’ve stayed here many times when I come to the valley for wine tasting. Pert little motel for my vibe, quiet, easy parking, very comfortable bed & pillows, clean, dog friendly. This last visit was the only time I’ve seen staff on site, mostly contactless for registration and room access. Easy drive to sister property to use the amenities (pool, gym, bar/restaurant), nice dog park close by, easy access to freeway.

Despite the fact they issued me a refund promptly, I'm still giving this place a 1 star review. I had a reservation for 5 nights but checked out after the 2nd night. Upon waking up after the first night I found the refrigerator had gone up to 64 degrees at some point and ruined all the food I had just bought. I immediately texted the number that guests are told to text but never received any acknowledgement. The second morning, while in the middle of the shower, the water went out completely. It was then I decided to just get the hell out and demand a refund.
The staff never apologized for their refrigerator ruining my food. It was Expedia that was kind enough to offer a credit for me to compensate me for the waisted food.
Also, the hotel charged my card twice for $66 for whatever reason even though I paid through Expedia. This was an additional random charge on top of the $50 incidental hold they require. Luckily they did issue me a refund for both unauthorized charges but without explanation as to why the charges were there in the first place.
I will absolutely never stay here again

If I can give 10 stars I would! The staff here are the best! It’s pretty cool because now I live in the next town from where this hotel is next to. Ok this hotel is low key, comfortable, quiet, fun, close to everything and a hell of a good price! The staff that works at Sideways inn which runs this place are the coolest and helped me along the way with everything! This is located within Santa Barbara county and let me tell you the rental market is horrible:( It is worse than where I live in San Diego. So this place is a steel! Each room have a nice comfy bed, a tv, fridge, warm shower and you can use the games there along with swim at the Sideways inn! Thank you guys, Amber, Sienna and our Great Dane Ace thank you!!! Hope to see you guys around soon!!!

This is not a fancy place but is perfect for someone looking for an affordable, comfortable, clean room with all the basic ammenities. It looks like the rooms were updated recently. The bathroom was modern and very clean. The bed was comfortable and parking couldn't be easier, right outside my room. This will be my new spot for overnight golf trips in the area.

It was a nice hotel but it is very small. Maybe the smallest room I've ever been in. There is no microwave either but if you go down the street to Tom's gas you can use the microwave there as long as you buy something from the store.

Overall, it's a good deal. Would have liked if the fridge in the room was a little quieter. Also, the ice machine room was right next door. Could hear noise from there a few times during the stay. The queen room was a little small, but just big enough for 2 people. Despite all that, slept well and would stay in Hotel Hygge again.

Room was very clean and bed was super soft and comfortable to sleep in. Small space but perfect for a weekend getaway. Shower pressure was amazing, nice and hot after being out in the cold. AC and heating worked quick. I checked in at the sideways in (a sister property) and they even offered to let us use their pool! very nice of them. The hotel is contactless so you don’t NEED to go check in at the other hotel unless you want to. Everything is seamless nonetheless. it’s 10 minutes away from solvang and the drive there is lovely.

The staff notified me via text that our room was ready way before check in time which was very much appreciated. The room that was assigned to us was pleasant and cleaned. Even though it was a self check in property, all the amenities are available within the premises. The staff were quick to respond and they reached out to us to see if everything meets our expectations. I especially like the bocce game they have in the yard which I played with my partner. The only thing they may need to improve is the air conditioning, it makes a louder sound that if you’re a light sleeper will be a challenge.

I was enjoying our stay other than the water pressure stops when someone else turns their water on. We left to get breakfast and when we came back they were cleaning our room before we checked out. When we spoke to a manager onsite he made it sound like it was our fault for opening the windows. When I explained we didn’t checkout yet he became angry with us and said most people forget to text and we assumed you left. I would have stayed here again if it wasn’t for the negative interaction with this man.

The room was clean and the directions for check in were thorough. The rooms are tiny, but do the trick. There was no water pressure in the shower, literally none, and the heater unit is too loud to sleep with it on. The grounds are nice, but I’d only spend a night here. No water pressure and the noise make it difficult to imagine staying longer.

We enjoyed the overall stay and with a few tweaks it could be a top notch experience. Aesthetic, premium toiletries, and comfortable beds were great, while noise was the biggest drawback (a sound machine was provided.) Thicker entry doors with less fussy locks would add to security. Minor recommendations are a light for closet area, full-length mirror, and sheers layered with curtains for better privacy.

We booked a King room, mainly because this was a biking tour for us, and we stay at motor courts where we can wheel our bikes out into the ground-floor room. Hygge worked PERFECTLY for this! For an area that can get quite expensive, we found Bueltton the perfect community to stay and the Hygge to be the PERFECT place to stay. Why? The grounds are impeccable and the room is spotless -- if you've ever been to Europe, you've seen rooms like these. The pics are accurate: Noth fancy here but everything MODERN -- the bathroom fixtures, MODERN, the shower has EXCELLENT water pressure -- even with the Rain Shower shower head! The bed is very comfortable, featuring a European-style comforter and four full, plush pillows. The only slight negative is a lack of hooks or space for clothes if staying more than one night -- but this is such a minor thing. What's more important is the bed has TWO nightstands (surprisingly many places have only one for one side) and TWO lounging chairs (again, this can be taken for granted). We may bike 30 miles at a time, but we are in our 70's and we need a chair to put on our shoes... lol. Heating/A/C works efficiently, and the front windows, doors, floors, decor etc. all look newish and well-maintained. Our room was easily a 3-star with a 4-star cleanliness and decor -- fridge and Keurig. You can tell the owner/management has pride in this motel, and you will be very happy with the efficiency at a very low price for the region! :-)

Positives first. The exterior was clean and welcoming. I looked forward to sitting by the fire pits under the twinkle lights. It was one reason I chose this hotel. The room and bathroom were very clean. The bed was comfy. The negatives: The room was very noisy between the very loud AC blasting right into my face and some undetermined noise that came and went all night. We went out before sunset to enjoy the fire pits, (which did work), and waited and waited for the overhead lights to come on. They never did while we were out there (long past dark). I saw in the morning, with the sun up, that the string lights were on, go figure. The mystery sound from the night before turned out to be the mini fridge, so we unplugged it. The check in and out with no human contact at all was fine. Lots of parking.
