Area was good one block away from Main Street, staff were nice and friendly. Room was clean and spacious comfortable fit 4 people, the only downside was bathroom door didn’t have locks but everything else was great

This is a cute affordable hotel. It is has updated decor and was comfortable. The beds and pillows are comfortable. It was nice having a little refrigerator. We enjoyed the location. We were able to walk through the town of Solvang. Cute restaurants, bakeries and tasting rooms if you drink wine It is not the most luxurious or high end hotel but definitely cute for a long weekend. The only negative was the shower water pressure. They would service the room if you asked them to. I would stay at the Marlo again, most likely.

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!

Amazing boutique property. Nice staff members who helped with a quick check in and check out. The rooms were newly renovated with modern amenities. AC and Microwave in the room worked very well. Lot of dining options nearby at a walkable distance. Ample parking in front of the rooms. We had a very comfortable stay.
