This was a short trip for my wife's birthday and the chance to see Solvang and Christmas decorations. The Inn is in an excellent location near most of the restaurants and shops. Also, it's at the entrance to Solvang which helps avoiding most of the traffic at the Mission Dr Street. Room was clean, spacious and as described on Hotels website. The room had a small refrigerator and a microwave. There is free on-site parking and WiFi. I'll stay here next time at Solvang.

The property needs an ice maker. Also, each room should have a single serve coffee maker instead of instant coffee. Access to a microwave would be nice. We stayed four nights and had to ask the housekeepers for clean towels after two nights.

Room clean, easy check in, friendly staff. There was a room above us, so a little noisy when people went up stairs and walking around. But they went to bed fairly early so it was not bothersome when we slept. Convenient parking.

We had 3 rooms, including the deluxe quadruple which was huge! It's right across from Paula's Pancakes and walking distance from everything. There was a problem with all the parking spots being taken up by people trying to go to the Tree Lighting at the park bit the employees were very helpful through all of that.

The bed was pretty comfortable and the sheets seemed clean. However, there were brown stains on the shower curtains and the towels provided. The bathtub drain was broken, so it couldn’t be plugged. Also, none of the electric outlets worked.

Cute & kitschy, right next to main drag, but in need of a facelift. The room was fairly clean, but we ended up leaving after one night due to ants in the bed! The hotel was gracious about it and immediately sprayed/ changed the bedding. The hotel is a get what you paid for kind of place - not a 4 star, but also not terrible. Just have the right expectations!

Check in for this property was fantastic. It was no contact, we were texted the code and didn’t have to wait. However, while the room seemed “clean”, the condition was poor. Looks like they just paint over issues. There was also hair on the bed and a several hairs in the toilet. If you’re used to staying in dirty motels and hostels you would probably be fine. But if you are used to staying in decent hotels, then you might not care for this place. And the bed was awful.

great walkable location for exploring solvang, easy check-in with a passcode to enter your room, spacious, toiletries, heat and a/c, stocked coffee machine and fridge with ice already chilling in the freezer, tons of pillows to choose from for the perfect softness or sturdiness, very comfortable mattress. i’ve stayed in 6 different lodgings in the heart of solvang and this is my new favorite.

The location was excellent, downtown with everything walking distance! We had received our check in information ahead of time and used a keypad to enter the room, which is very convince so you don't have to worry about losing a key or card. The room was cute, minimal decorations. You are on the main street so can get a little loud, but nothing that was overwhelming. Unfortunately, the bed was absolutely awful. There are permanent indentations where people have slept, and we felt nothing but springs on our body. It felt like sleeping on cardboard or a box spring not an actual mattress. For paying almost $400 I would've hoped that the bed would be newer and comfortable.

I liked the no contact checkin, especially since I didn't arrive until late in the evening. However, I was told there would be wifi instructions in the room, and there wasn't. The biggest problem was how noisy the room was. There was some loud rumbling coming from the appliances that only stopped when I unplugged everything. The walls are so thin that I could hear every word of a conversation in the adjoining room that went on nonstop for hours.

Easy check in and great location! Provided 2 complimentary bottles of water, and had a fridge and microwave in the room. However our room #3 was next to the stairs and you could hear every time people went up and down and hear them above the room. I imagine another room not next to the stairs or without a room above is better. The walls are also very thin.

The place was cute and the location was great. Unfortunately the bed had a huge dip in it making it rather uncomfortable. After a long day in a tourist town a good nights sleep is important. We loved the town and plan to return but I would have to say it will be with different accommodations.

We had a great experience at the Hamlet Inn.

I would stay here again.

You can learn most about property management when things go wrong. Like most inns, walls can be a bit thin. Our neighbor\'s music and "outside" voice were keeping us up. Management was able to resolve the issue quickly. Upon returning home, we realized we had left a sentimental item. The hotel had it in lost and found and arranged its return quickly. The service and hospitality here are the best!!

It seems like the owners changed. But it has been a minute since we’ve stayed there. They have a water pitcher that heats up water for coffee and it leaked. There is no microwave. We stayed in room 9. I love the decor and comfort of the bed and the towels. She allowed us to heat up some stuff in their microwave but she was super annoyed by it. The receptionist was very dry and short. The old owners asked us questions and had even left us a cute set up one year since we were celebrating our anniversary. This was definitely not the case. It felt like she couldn’t get people out of her lobby fast enough. Also when we got there she kept insisting why I didn’t respond to her txt msg and I hadn’t received one and she insisted again. She then figured out she never sent it. Didn’t say what the txt was about. She handed me a small paper with our code and she said the rest is in the room and walked back to her office.
