Cute and comfy room. Was clean and good location but the WiFi didn’t work and there was a sewer smell in the bathroom. Better when we opened the window but there are only first floor rooms. Staff left at 6pm so no one to tell.

A pleasant surprise, quaint, quiet and terrific find. My wife and love our Solvang get aways coming from Ventura County. We stumbled across The Marlo because we wanted to stay somewhere different. The Marlo is tucked away on Alisol Road but well worth checking out. The rooms are boutique in nature and the staff is welcoming. I'd highly encourage those who are willing to step out of what they know in Solvang and check out The Marlo.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The new renovation clearly focused on the outside and public spaces more than the interior spaces. We enjoyed the very firm mattress but others may not as much. The amenities (fridge with freezer, keurig, microwave, water) were all nice. Why not also include a real mug? Surprisingly good sound protection between the rooms— not as much with car noises outside. We had a remote check in due to arriving after the office was closed which was fine but then the WiFi didn’t work and couldn’t find anyone to help. Turns out they changed the name of the *secured WiFi network. How was anyone supposed to know?

We’ve stayed here previously when it was The M and had a good experience so we were excited to check it out with the remodel/rebrand. We loved how clean and modern everything in the room looks since the remodel while still keeping a lot of the old charm like the stained glass in the bathroom and the carved wooden doors. The bed was very comfortable and we also loved that the rooms had both a fridge, freezer and microwave and the AC was nice and cool because the temperatures got surprisingly high during our winter stay. The back gardens and front courtyard are so pretty and peaceful and it’s a quick walk into town while being removed enough that it’s nice and quiet. The only slightly iffy thing was we had one of the garden rooms and the back door to the garden is located in the bathroom with a window and the way the shade is positioned even when closed people from the garden can definitely see in if someone is on the toilet.

Everything was perfect! Very clean, pet friendly, nice courtyard, very quiet, and walking distance to everything. Just a heads up if you are going check in late, they won’t send you the code and self check in instructions until after they close through text. They were kind of hard to get a hold of by phone when I initially called for self check in instructions which made me anxious but once I found out you can text them it was a lot easier. They text you often and check in to see if you need anything and respond much quicker through text. I highly recommend booking your stay here. I have already recommended this place to coworkers and friends!

This is a beautiful property with amazing courtyards. The room was almost perfect, it was a bit dirty from the previous guest but wasn’t a deal breaker. The security lock for the door was nonfunctional as it was missing one piece to actually connect the door to the wall. Ice machine did not work so we went out and bought a bag of ice, good news is it fit perfectly in the freezer. The biggest problem was the WiFi, I stayed 2 nights and the WiFi was no existent. We checked in about 7pm and noticed it didn’t connect and or it would connect but say that there is no internet connection. They provided us with a separate WiFi, but same story. Had to use my hot spot to get some work done but such a huge bummer especially since they advertise free WiFi. Now I understand free WiFi could mean slow speeds but unfortunately we couldn’t even get a page to load. Would love to return as it is such a great property, however if they don’t get the WiFi fixed I don’t believe I will return.
