Had a great stay. Very family friendly with a great outdoor space to hang out and play games.

Receptionist Tom was super friendly and accommodating. The hotel was clean and comfortable. Perfect room at a perfect price.

SUPER clean, rooms are spacious with all the amenities available. Microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker for 2 cups of coffee, hair blower, iron with ironing boards, and towels are all available. We had a table in ours, and multiple drawers with even a closet. Body lotion, hand soap, 2-in-1 conditioner and shampoo, and body wash are in dispensing containers. We love that they have temperature control in the room. We used it to heat up the room and it was perfect. They had a TV with a DirecTV remote. We didn't use it though, so I don't know how it works. They do everyday housekeeping here unless you put a Do Not Disturb sign, and the housekeepers always left decorative things for us to find. Tap water is good to drink! There was also an ice box for us, though we didn't need to get ice. Bed was comfortable too! Complimentary breakfast was nice in my opinion. It was juice, coffee, and pastries from the Olsen bakery in Solvang, and honestly, that's enough for me. As all the reviews have mentioned, the courtyard is nice. They also have a well-maintained pool and a jaccuzi. We didn't use it because we went in the middle of December, but it looked clean and inviting. Because we went during the holidays, they gave us a pamphlet with all the things we could do in Santa Ynez Valley. They also gave us a "Pea soup Andersen passport," which had discounts for local eateries, wineries (a couple had free tastings), and activities in the area. It is also so conveniently located, because it is about 8 minutes away from Solvang, 45 minutes from Santa Barbara. It is right next to a gas station too. Overall, my partner and I only have good things to say, and we will definitely choose this place again. read more

So clean you could eat off floors. People working there are very nice. Want to go back at Christmas

I found a last minute rate on the Hopper app. The room was clean and just what I needed for just one night while I went to explore Solvang, a place I have always wanted to go. Sometimes a change of scenery is all you need to get a reset. The walls are pretty thin. I kept thinking someone was knocking on my door. The continental breakfast is grab and go. Check out is at noon which is a little better than other places. They were doing construction and it was a bit smoky out. I apparently, they have a smoking section which faces the parking lot. The restaurant is on the other side of the parking lot. It was closed when I arrived and since I tried their other location, it wasn't too big of a deal. There were a few restaurants across the street that suited me just fine. If I were in the area, I'd probably stay here again. I was able to connect to the wifi and get some work done as well. read more

This place has decent sized rooms and a pool and a few other amenities on the property. But, my friend found a spider in her bed. Also, the breakfast was very minimal and the coffee was so bad! read more

This is a very large hotel with plenty of amenities. The rooms are clean and the property is well kept. It's very close to the pea soup Andersen's restaurant and other restaurants which are very good. My only issue with this property is it they have a interesting covid policy regarding their jacuzzi. You must sign up for your half hour of use and no one else can share it with you. I have never heard of a hotel using this procedure. Also I was not informed of this sign in sheet when I checked in. I would hesitate checking into this hotel unless you're prepared to either not use the jacuzzi or remember to sign up for your specified half hour of use. read more

Stayed here this weekend! Can't recommend this place enough! Super clean rooms, great price, and friendly staff! Was in town for a mini family reunion so had all of my family stay here too.

Check in was quick & easy. The gentleman at the front desk was very nice & friendly and told us about the grab & go breakfast located in the gazebo by the pool area. The exterior is misleading. It's unassuming but maintained well. Such a surprise upon entering the room. It was bright, clean, cool, and updated. We brought our own pillows but the bed was super comfy and conducive to a good night's rest. After a long day of walking around Solvang it felt good to "melt" into that mattress. The air conditioner ran very well, which was much needed during the hot days. The water pressure for the shower was really good. There was toothpaste smeared all over the ironing board that I called in to the front desk and in less than 5 minutes I was given a new one. We were on the ground floor with a slider leading out to the pool and the gazebo. It was convenient to grab danishes, pastries, and muffins plus coffee in the mornings to begin the day. While in Solvang at the Danish Mill Bakery, a very nice lady struck up a conversation with us. We told her we were from Temecula (Southern California's Wine Country). She told us she had visited and enjoyed it. We told her this was our first time staying in the area & told her we we're staying at the Pea Soup Inn. She proudly exclaimed that her family owned it & they had been in the area for 5 generations. We told her we loved it especially their beds! She said everybody tells her that. She told us to come back & visit. It was very reasonable staying here; definitely our money's worth! We were given a military rate, so it made it so budget friendly! We would not hesitate to stay here again. We were very pleased and highly recommend staying here. read more

This was an OK hotel. We arrived after check in time and our room wasn't ready yet. The concierge did tell us it was going to be ready in 5 minutes.. He also told us to take a drink or snack I think for the inconvenience, but we didn't get any. I think it took longer than that, so we decided to go to walmart in Lompoc to kill time and to also buy swimwear to swim in their pool. We finally got to our room and immediately noticed that it looked old. We were expecting a room with hardwood flooring like in the expedia pictures (we booked through Expedia). I believe some rooms are newly remodeled and I was hoping to get in one of them. Our room wasn't the cleanest, but wasn't dirty either. The thing I did not like here was the bed. It was sooo squeaky! I definitely didn't have a good sleep because every time my husband would move, I would be awaken by the squeaky noise. And everytime I would move, I'd have to do it so slowly so my kid and husband wouldn't be awaken either. They also have complimentary coffee/juice and pastries from a local bakery Danish bakery which was nice. When we used the pool, it was nice and clean and also heated which is so nice because we were able to swim at night even with the cold weather. I also want to mention that we stayed on the second floor and we noticed the staircase was old and dirty and the lights were not bright at night (potentially dangerous for elderly and kids) i think they should renovate the stairs too and the rest of the older rooms. I would come back but would like to stay in the newer rooms and hopefully the beds there don't squeak. Sorry no pictures, we were so tired when we checked in! read more

Spent 3 nights there and was satisfied with room. Put luggage against door because there was a gap at the bottom of the door-didn't want bugs to get inside. The bed was very comfortable. They cleaned our room every day. We received 10% coupon for surrounding restaurants and stores. Our last night there -there was a grinding noise that woke me up about 6:30 a.m. coming from the room next door-I believe that was a utility room. The continental breakfast was ok. For the price of the room I expected more variety of breakfast foods. read more

I went here had the best pea soup ever along with a couple of bloody Mary's and I will be back for sure Thank you Andersen pea soup

Skip it. The place is run down and our room was super noisy. We specifically asked for a quiet room away from the pool, however, it failed miserably. Here are 4 reasons why we would never go back. The water pipes in the wall sounded like Niagara Falls in our room when next room took a shower!! It was ridiculously loud. It appeared there were many long term tenants staying there who work in the surrounding area. The next door apartment complex had lots of people partying outside. Garbage thrown around parking areas. The room looked good enough however the facilities were run down. "Breakfast" from 7-10am consisted of bad coffee in a styrofoam cup and a cheap-o pastry. read more

A very quaint, and beautiful Inn! My wife and I love it, and are looking forward to more stays there! Let me begin with the deal we got, and we paid $146 for a 2 night stay! I also add very clean too! Well worth it! read more

We had a great stay at Anderson Inn. We went to visit Solvang for the holidays and our anniversary and decided to stay here. Check-in was nice and easy. Tom was so welcoming and warm and made us feel so comfortable staying there. They have a pool, hot tub, and a few fire pit tables! Loved our stay here. read more

They've been closed the last two times we tried coming here. We usually order the pea soup with extra to go as well as the baked items.

Large clean room and friendly service. The pool and jacuzzi spotless. Towels and lounge chairs set up nice. Miniature gold was available and balls and clubs visible and ready to use. Coming off Covid and so many still not brought back up to usable condition this place got to it and is ready. I saw no reason not to rate this a most stay location. read more

This place is a hidden gem. On a 2 week road trip and loved our stop here. Hot tub is perfect when it cools down at night. You can tell the owner/manager cares. read more

Pretty good place for the $. Good location to go check out Solvang and stuff. Clean, friendly enough, good.

Wonderful place to stay. Nice pool that is always immaculately clean. Great location and the price is right. Friendly staff make you feel welcome. The rooms are roomy and the beds and floors always so clean Great place to stay. read more

Cute motel, inside is very clean and roomy! Comfy beds with small pillows. The walls are a little thin. I thought someone was trying to come into our room but it was the one above us. Then I could hear every move they made. And one of the water features (wasn't sure if it is the toilet, shower or sink) in the above room was very loud in our room. They went to bed late and got up early which effected our sleep. The complimentary breakfast is coffee, juice, pastries and muffins... that was it. No fruit or cereal. Staff are friendly. Great great location. Right off the freeway. Also our room was in back there was some RV folks parked in the next lot that were riding a motorcycle up and down the parking lot. Not the hotels fault but annoying non the less. read more

My friend and I stayed one night as a stopover on the way from Northern California to LA. We didn't expect much, to be honest, since the famous restaurant is closed -- but to our surprise, this turned out to be a very nice, comfortable place to stay, at a great price. The room was surprisingly large, the beds were comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful, and they have little touches that were greatly appreciated -- for instance, in the morning, out in the gazebo, they set out fresh, high-quality Danish pastries brought in from a bakery in Solvang. There's stuff for kids to do too -- there's a pool and some little "putting greens" next to the pool (they call it mini-golf, but it's *very* mini -- but that's fine). We were impressed with how spacious and comfortable this was for the price; we had paid two or three times as much in other parts of the state for tiny, much less comfortable rooms with no extra amenities. It's very convenient if you want to visit Solvang, and I'd also recommend it as a stopover for anyone who needs to break up the drive between north and south, as we did. Apparently, the famous pea soup can still be bought at a different local restaurant just down the street, but we didn't check that out. We were just very happy with our overnight stay. read more

I love this place. Nice people, beautiful pool, pastries and coffee in the gazebo. The rooms are big and comfy, and the shower is unbelievable. I kind of want to move in. Great stay for the area. read more

I have been staying here since I was a kid with my parents. It is the perfect place for travelers. I stayed here a while back for work. The room is simple and clean. The pool is immaculate and after a 4 hour drive in 90 degree temps it was very welcome. I can always count on a tasty meal next door as well. read more

Very clean and cute hotel with a small mini golf and fire places outside. The receptionist at the check in was not friendly and didn't give me any information such as a wifi password, checkout time, breakfast availability, etc. She just told me to sign paper and handed me the room key and pointed where to park. She might have had a stressful day or overwhelmed although I was the only guest there at that time. I am giving four stars because the receptionist next day was very helpful when my son became sick. Thank you!! read more

This is the first time in my life leaving a one star review! Only because we didn't hear a simple apology from anyone and the only thing everybody says was "OK! we'll take a look at it". I left the room in hurry and forgot my mask, the front desk lady was giving me a lecture about wearing a mask intead of being sorry about the situation. First night found an earwig in the room and changed room at 6 Am, woke up at 10 Am in the second room and saw bunch of bedbugs on the mattress. they did give us full refund and we left right away and again not a simple apology! read more

Clean room, comfortable bed. Except for coffee & cream, nothing but high carb foods at the breakfast bar: pastries, muffins, cereal, juice, ... but no protein at all. Not even hard boiled eggs. read more

We have stayed here twice and we were pleased each time. The rooms are fairly clean, and the beds are insanely comfortable. The ladies in the front are especially sweet and even told us about a festival happening not even a 2 minute walk away. They also gave us a few good breakfast spot recommendations! The inn is only 10 minutes away from the Solvang strip area and only 2 minutes away from our favorite restaurant, AJ Spurs. read more

Rooms- Right when we walk in, was nice and fresh. The first thing I did was check the bed since some people posted about bedbugs. No bed bugs! For the most part it is quiet. You can hear muffles of people talking or their tv's. The night before, double check that if you put the tag out, make sure it is on the correct side. One time we had it on "maid service" side and she was knocking 3 times loudly, I was like wth, opened the door and said we were sleeping and she pointed that we had it on the wrong side. Instead of the "privacy please." In the morning the maids are noisy talking and laughing at around 830-9am. Pool/Spa- yeah! Was so glad these were nice and clean. The pool was even heated. It was pretty cold outside, took a few steps and were like, uh nope. Gotta go in the spa. Was soooooo nice. Bubbles were super strong. Kind of odd you can see right into peoples room upstairs even with their curtains closed. They also have towels near the pool for you so you don't have to use the room towels. Breakfast-Sucks. No bagels etc. the only options were bran or blueberry muffins and danish pastries. Darn. Also could have orange or apple juice or coffee. These items come from their restaurant next door. Warning, the bran muffin literally tastes like dog food. Yes, I tried it when I was little, thats how I know, lol. Grounds: Enough parking for everyone. They also have a bocci ball court and little putting green. Didn't see anyone use them while here. But at night people did sit around the 2 little fireplaces. read more

I've been to many inns and I could say that this is one of the best. Cleanliness which is our top most priority is superb here! The customer is top-notch too! The lady at the front let us check in early at 2! Thank God because I was so tired of driving all the way from the Bay Area. Whenever we decide to come here again...I will definitely stay here. With a reasonable rate and excellent customer service plus cleanliness of the room...I would rate this inn with 7 stars if I can! Update: During checked out, Heather and Terry was super nice and helpful! They went out of their way to assist me! I never had an experience with a staff this friendly and considerate! I will never look for any other place to stay when I'm on my way to LA for a stop-over! read more

I stayed at this location a Friday night in March. Rooms were nice. I would return if they would evolve their breakfast alternatives. As well, if they improve the location where they serve breakfast. Positive: Location-right off the freeway Room-was clean When staying here, you get a discount for the Pea Soup Restaurant next to the hotel to motivate people to go (didn't have time to go) Fast food and gas stations are close to the location Less than 4 miles from Solvang Pool and mini golf are located in the center of the hotel Negative: The Breakfast is so plain: Coffee/Juice and a Danish Bread (No hard boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, pancakes, or cereal) The Gazebo- where breakfast is served, is tiny. Feel crammed with all the few tables inside read more

Is this under new ownership than the last time we stayed here????? Unfortunately won't be staying here again. Check in was 3pm. Arrived at 3:40pm and the room was not ready yet. Were offered a different room than we booked (without a patio on the central court) so we did not want it. Were told it would be ready in 20 minutes. We were also advised to "Just wait until your room is ready at this point it's only a bit longer." Were informed "people check out late so we need to wait for them." Asked "do they get charged for staying late." "We try." "Do we get charged less for being able to check in late!" "Nope." At this point, the assuming owner or manager, went over to the younger gal checking people in and started not discretely talking about me while sitting there with my 2 month old who was crying because it was hot and we anticipated being in our room by then. I understand that with a busy weekend they may be running late. Running an hour late doesn't feel acceptable, especially not without any sort of kindness offered in return. Not even a snack offered while we waited with two young screaming kids. "You can use the pool while you wait" is clearly the recommendation of someone without children who doesn't understand the task of sorting through luggage and getting two young kids changed into their swim gear in a hotel lobby after a long day of travel. The snarkiness continued when we simply called to ask if there were towels at the pool or if we had to bring them from the room. Were told with a voice filled with annoyance that if we looked by the gate, there was a shelf of towels... how were we supposed to look by the pool gate when we were calling from our room? Every simple question was met with a tone of voice of being inconvenienced and who had no desire to be in the hospitality business. Rooms are alright. You get what you pay for - aside from the fact that there were no fitted sheets on the bed, so if you move at all while sleeping, the sheet shifts and exposes the mattress protector, which felt pretty gross. Again, very very very unfortunate. We had our block of rooms for our wedding here, have stayed here over 6 times for nights away. We won't be back. Miss the old ownership and younger guy who used to man the front desk, make kind conversation, and go above and beyond to be a nice human. I understand that this is a budget accommodation, but last I checked, kindness and customer service is free to provide. read more

I have been in the valley since 1976 my family owned a ranch on Refugio Rd., Mesa Verde ranch. My mom and dad passed away and I was able to get a condo in Solvang but they are tenting the condo and we were able to get a room here very reasonable the staff is super the room is super clean everything is awesome here this is a super place it's gonna be a definite go to place for us! read more

This place is awesome don't let the exterior fool you. Friendly staff and just general good vibes all around

This place is by the freeway & gas stations as well as a few mini markets, liqour stores, and less than 3 miles from Solvang. A clean decent sized room with two queen beds, a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, a/c, t.v, pool, continental breakfast & free wifi cost only $125 on a weekend! The rooms in Solvang charges up to $300 for one night! Yikes! The room was clean & the people at the front desk are nice, but no wifi password was given. The chanels suck as it was all about sports, qvc, or politics. Changing the channel is hard for some reason. Also, the room phone is not labelled so when we needed to call the front desk for more toilet paper, we actually had to call the main number on my friends cell phone. They only gave us one roll. At least they brought more up. If you want to go swimming, reserve a spot as only three rooms were allowed out at once for a limited amount of time due to COVID-19. Theres an ice machine by the pool & plenty of parking in the front, side, & back of the place. We'd definitely stay there again. read more

Inexpensive...very clean.. Very accommodating. Has a coin op laundry. Great parking.free breakfast. Great rooms. Extremely clean. Frig, micro wave, has free ice. Private patio are Available. Great pool area with little putting green .jacuzzi. and other stuff. Hey they treat you right. Check it out..but don't wait long read more

Perfect place to stay for a quick trip or even a longer weekend. No frills but comfortable and cozy. Cute and centrally located to get to local sites. Right off highway after long drive and easy parking a plus. Mini fridge and balcony made this excellent priced room a great choice when you want to save money on your getaway but not loose all the little creature comforts. Pool and mini golf too if time when exploring all town has to offer...close to Mission, Solvang and Wineries, this place is worth the try! read more

We had to change our dates here and the third party website had me on hold for HOURS. Julie at the front desk helped me navigate and change the dates for our stay with zero charge!! The next day we checked in and it was the staff was really on it. We needed double rooms but they were all out, they rolled in extra beds to both rooms we rented. Like I said EXCELLENT customer service. They booked us in to a pool slot, reservations needed during COVID..we got one same day. I love everything about this magical quaint hotel. So much so my husband and I shall return without our 5 littles and book a wine tour. read more

Pea Soup Andersen's Inn - Night time pool July 2021 - Hotels Near Me - Buellton, California

Cheap when everywhere else isn't and that's the good part. However, you definitely get what you pay for. You can hear every noise from every room surrounding you- every noise! Toilets flushing, every door, people snoring, beds shaking, the complete TV show as if you're watching it with them. Too much sound for us! The room was clean, but it was old, and unfortunately the bed was so uncomfortable we ended up leaving in the middle of the night and driving the rest of the way home because we just couldn't sleep with the noise and discomfort. If you need last minute availability on a weekend and to save some money, this is for you. If you're looking for a nice getaway- this isn't. read more
