Hotels near Santa Ynez, CA

“Nostalgic early 20th century atmosphere. Staff is efficient, kind & polite. Hotel & amenities are in excellent condition. It's quiet, relaxing & peaceful.”

“This place is literally an oasis in the middle of nowhere. Coming up to the resort was a surreal experience that can't be described. The rooms were clean and quite spacious and the bathroom was beautiful ( fyi no locks on the door).
The casino experience was a mixed bag. This place has an amazing assortment of Vegas style slots on a massive floor, the area is clean and spacious and even during peak times it's easy to find an open machine. this place is a staple for all of my trips to California”

“This is one of the very cleanest, most welcoming with the best staff ever!! They have someone to help right at the door most of the time. It's a smaller hotel but it's beautiful with its beautiful decore and unique touches. They have 3 fresh infused flavor waters to welcome you. Beautiful swimming pool area that is heated and a jacuzzi. It's a nice quiet place to get away, they are family friendly. The pool area has relaxing music playing, they had corn hole, large connect four, and some other outdoor games. Might be seasonal. Also if it's a warm/hot day the nice guys go out and offer I think otter pops or water. They are the sweetest ever! This hotel also has something right because they put out a few inflatable pool balls and it says take me home if you want to. This may sound like it's more for children but some adults actually enjoy this! Been there so many times and it such a nice tranquil place! They have nice cabanas and few fireplaces. They help with anything! I have a huge list of names. I know Ana always goes above and beyond for all her guests. The young girls and men all greet you with beautiful smiles. I hope they don't change this place like they did with The Hadsten House! This hotel is part of a Casino Chumash, That's how I had the pleasure of being a guest here. I hope they don't take this beautiful place away from us as a special treat. Also The Housekeeping Hands Down the best cleaning crew ever and so kind!! Please if you ever go there be as nice as they are to you. Some people want everything at their hand and feet and demand things. This place is very popular because All Class of people love it. From People with Money to people who prob have to save their last penny to go their. Hotel Corque Do your best to keep it the way its going! I've been to many, many places and this is one that I can say so many good things about the entire place that makes it Unique and special. Whoever is in charge do your best not to be making crazy changes. If anything keep your guests in mind the ones that love going back and the ones who tell everyone how amazing you all are! And the spot it's in! Next to beautiful Mission and the shops and food places! One of the best places to get your Ableskivers is at The Solvang Restaurant! You'll learn that place was In a ?.”

“I’ve stayed here several times and always find it unique and excellent. The suites are equipped with everything you need, the bedding and towels are great quality and the beds are super comfortable.
The quality, the value and the charm bring me back often. This time I only came for one night and chose an upstairs room. It was so charming and comfortable. Even the shower was great!
I look forward to bringing the family and staying n one of f the larger units with a fireplace and an outdoor fire pit. AND no worries about parking. It’s an easy walk to the main street in Solvang.”

“Wow I don’t remember walking into a cleaner smelling place and I was a little hesitant because this place was very affordable on the scale of hotel cost. Someone recommended it to me at one of the wineries because I accidentally messed up my reservation and needed a place for Friday night and I would 100% 1000% stay here againwonderful place. Great value easy parking. Great location.”

“We had an exceptional time at Mattei’s. We went for our “babymoon” and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome & truly made it such a memorable experience. Upon our arrival, Dante, the front desk manager, organized two darling gifts for our twins-on-the-way, as well as a gift for our 2 yo daughter. He also had non-alcoholic champagne sent to our room with a handwritten note. It was such a thoughtful, generous, and special way to welcome us to the property. Joe and Chris at the front desk were also very accommodating, as was Elizabeth, who gave us a generous late check out. Maya at the Tavern was very personable and generous with her time. Everyone we interacted with was kind, welcoming, unassuming, and very helpful. The grounds are meticulously maintained and just simply beautiful, food was delicious, rooms were spacious and decorations were thoughtfully curated, service from all staff members was spectacular, location was super convenient, and overall it was an incredible stay. We will *absolutely* be back, and we hope this review finds its way to management so they can recognize and reward their staff members across the board for creating an exceptional guest experience.”

“What an amazing experience. From start to finish the staff was incredible! Welcoming, knowledgeable and attentive. And now for the food .. outstanding! Every course was not only delicious but the presentation was great too.We had a beautiful day trip to Solvang and ended with this delicious meal in a lovely spot. Next time we will stay the night @ their hotel where the restaurant is located. Beautiful boutique hotel on a quiet corner just a short walk from the downtown area. So happy to have found this little gem!”

“We stayed there recently with family. Our first visit to Solvang and we were skeptical at first. But we loved the room, location, breakfast, the food options closeby, everything!

Nearby activities: Highline adventure

Walkability: Yes. Lot of food places closeby.”

“Everything was amazing, the place looks gorgeous from outside, inside it’s even more beautiful, from the room to the different living room on the first floor. The staff is very nice and welcoming, breakfast are delicious. Ballard Inn is the perfect place to get rest and recharge your batteries.”

“Great spot. Was expecting a far lower "upscale hotel" dining experience, but the culinary here is really superb. Very fresh, innovative, and many excellent choices on the menu. Kudos to the culinary staff. Bar staff did ok under a crush when we arrived, maintained their composure and didn't fall too far behind.”

“I was amazed at the beautiful rooms here near Solvang, CA in Buellton. The rooms were quite spacious. The only problem was the freeway constant noice and limited breakfast options. Other than that, the hotel was satisfactory for the price and I would recommend it!”

“For the most part me and my family really like this place. It's nice that it's not to far a ride to pismo our favorite coastal area. The town is really nice reminds us of our hometown. One thing that was a downer is that on the Thursday night of our last night to enjoy the pool table and ping pong table and our stay. My 4 year old wanted to go down stairs to the lobbie to play in the guest area because he was bored in the room. Granted it was after 10 pm and we know the outside pool and spa are closed and the fitness area,but the lady working that night pretty much kicked us out because some other teenagers were being to loud and rough with the ping pong ?. My 4 year old was upset we had to take him back up to the room after only a few minutes. I understand quite time but people are on vacation,not everyone goes to bed early on vacation.”

“This is a real nice place and it's a great location. The reservations was delightful and checked us in early and are rooms were ready. At that point we were off. I will stay there again because it's worth it. The only issue I have is that our check out time was 11:00 and we went out to breakfast and came back at a quarter to 11:00 and they've already cleaned our rooms.”

“Stylish European style aptly 4 star hotel amidst the busy Solvang village main road. This hotel is a much needed oasis from the high traffic and tourist density that you will encounter when you visit.

The rooms are spacious, modern and very tastefully decorated that you will definitely feel the Danish European vibe with its bright, clean, and Scandinavian style all throughout this midsized low rise hotel that feels like an upscale inn at the mountains.

Hotel facilities are consistent to the theme and are welcoming.

Service is centralized in a small counter but provides ease of access and prompt attention. Some care just needed for housekeeping to ensure that toilet drainage is always cleared and efficient.

The location is definitely well managed given that your sense of privacy and quiet is very much maintained despite the fact that the hotel is in the middle of the tourist scene.

Definitely recommended for all types of guest and for those seeking to make a side trip to Solvang during their roadtrip.

We were fortunate to have stayed here during the hot and busy month of June 2024.

Rooms: Rooms are generously spacious with complete amenities. Almost every detail is European inspired.

Nearby activities: Almost all Solvang attractions are walking distance from this hotel. Special tie up vineyard and wine tasting promotions are offered by the hotel with various establishments in the area.

Walkability: Nice to have various exit paths to some of the other side streets for ease of access and to avoid the main busy avenue

Food & drinks: In house resto with an annex bar connected by a pleasant lounge area. A semi public inner courtyard is also accessible to relax and lounge about.

Noteworthy details: Layout of rooms is expansive with ample parking lots that are both outdoors and underground with access doors.”

“Our kids had an absolutely amazing time here. We adored our cabin; it was the perfect size for our family of five. The fire pits, picnic benches, and overall ambiance were just perfect. Not to mention the added bonus of free bike rentals and a wide range of activities to keep us entertained. We are definitely planning to come back again, but we'll have to make sure we secure a reservation early, as this place tends to get booked up quickly.”

“Rooms: Clean, basic Motel rooms

Safety: Quiet and felt very safe

Walkability: Near everything

Food & drinks: No onsite food or drinks but easily available in the near restaurants”

“Great location smacked in the middle of all shops, restaurants, and wine tasting. Loved our upstairs rooms with high ceilings, wood floors and extra large, with long table with benches in the middle. This was a "girlfriends" trip and it was perfect!”

“Friendly, helpful staff, very clean, did i say very clean rooms. Older, simple, but still functional. Price was right for us. Close to hwy 101, but no highway noise. no cigarette smoke odor in room. less than 5 minutes to Solvang. We plan on staying again.”

“We stopped here to stay the night halfway through our drive from the Bay Area to Los Angeles. After a long afternoon of driving we were greeted by Sabrina at the front desk who was great! She answered all my questions and really took the time to welcome me to Solvang. Love the location and the rooms were comfortable and clean.”

“The hotel is clean, very nice... vast as it has three restaurants nearby, very convenient. It also has its refrigerator and microwave... the WiFi signal it offers is quite good...”

“Stayed here for 5 nights including on New Years. The room and area was very clean and safe and the facility they had were very nice. The pool was heated so the we could swim even in the cold January months. The room was big and spacious and the bathroom was very nice. On New Years night we didn’t have a bottle opener and to my surprise the front desk was actually open and the women working was very friendly. The only thing I would say could be a downside is if your coming from solvang it’s kinda difficult to get into but it’s not really the fault of the hotel just the location. Very nice hotel and we both agreed this if we come back we are coming to this one.”

“Basic hotel with great outdoor spaces. Breakfast was good.Rooms: Rooms were basic with not alot of places to put clothes. Bathroom was tight with a funky shower that needed maintenance”

“Location is perfect. Walking distance to everything. My only complaint was the room getting too hot & ac not cooling down the room, it’s understandable though since the rooms are older. We had the windows open but depending on your room you might not have privacy if they’re open.”

“We were looking for a pet friendly place only, the price was the least in this area. Good AC on this hot day. Modern 50s type room. Giant bathtub.

Walkability: 0.3 miles from shopping center and food store and more.”

“Our stay at kronborg inn was amazing, rooms where clean pool and jacuzzi where was nice. A worker named Mayra was very helpful and informative about the town and the place, very friendly. Overall a great experience.”

“It was nice to receive friendly and good service.
The rooms are very well organized and the bedding is clean and nice.

There is a restaurant, fitness center, swimming pool and jacuzzi on the first floor, so it is convenient to use.”
