The TV is very low as well! Cords sticking out all over! Raise the closet bar so dresses don't drag on the floor!!

I absolutely loved our room at Vinland Hotel & Lounge. It was spacious, clean, and had a sliding glass door that let in lots of natural light--something I personally love. It made the whole space feel peaceful and grounding. We even saw fireworks on the Fourth of July from our room, which was a beautiful surprise. The room was comfortable, and we all genuinely felt relaxed during our stay--which isn't always easy to say on a road trip. It was easy to sleep, unwind, and just enjoy being there. There were nice modern touches, like a high-tech mirror with a light-up power button, and the main lobby was stunning--the only one on our trip where I actually sat, sipped tea, and spent time just planning the night with my sister. It felt cozy, peaceful, and elevated at the same time. And the cold brew on tap in the lobby? Absolutely unreal. As a former barista, I say this with full confidence: it was the best cold brew I've ever had. I still dream about it. The staff were warm, helpful, and kind, but a few things kept it from being a 5-star experience: * The ceiling-mounted showerhead looked cool but wasn't practical--hard to avoid if it's not a hair wash day. * The elevator went down for about 20 minutes during checkout, which meant lugging bags down the stairs. * Since my mom uses a cane, a first-floor room would've made things easier. * Trash service on Saturday left messy liquid all over the pavement. * One staff member (not in uniform) used the guest luggage rack to haul trash, which felt unsanitary. * The parking structure was crowded, and laundry hampers blocked the handicap path, which I had to clear myself. Still, the beauty of the place, the kindness of the team, and how comfortable and relaxed we all felt made this one of the best hotel stops of our trip. I'd happily stay here again--and bring a refillable cup for that cold brew. read more

Loved the lounge area with fireplace. Very cozy to sit next to while putting in a bit of work on my laptop. Loved the pillows and bedding, I think some of the pillows were feather, which are my fave. Staff was super helpful, giving us extra towels upon request, and helping me look for my wallet when I'd dropped it while moving from parking garage into our room to get settled. My only complaint would be the wifi connectivity: it's a bit spotty, otherwise my stay was great!! It's right off the main strip so we didn't get crowded by tourists, but was easily able to walk the touristy areas from the hotel. read more

The staff was rude and unhelpful. The carpets in the hallways smelled terrible. The room was not clean when we arrived--we even found someone else's socks. The room was old, worn out, and damaged. On top of that, cars were driving by all night, making it impossible to get a good night's sleep. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience. read more

Fantastic hotel. Why is nobody talking about the fact that they have a 24-hour coffee bar, complete with cold coffee on tap!?? That was amazing! I love iced coffee and was drinking it constantly (We visit in the summer). This hotel is terrific! Location location location. Clean and comfy and nice amenities. Oh, and free EV charging, love that!! read more

We booked a 1 night stay in the double queen superior room over Christmas Eve and really enjoyed our stay. I absolutely love that this hotel is pet friendly and have an amazing lounge with great drinks and food. Also one of the few places that are open late :) The front staff was incredibly sweet despite a small hiccup during check in. We actually arrived at 1:30pm and was hoping to be able to check in sooner since we just completed a long drive - our room wasn't ready yet but we were able to do the pre check in out of the way. We decided to get a couple drinks and snacks in the area and came back around 4. Check in is at 3pm and our room was still not ready. Slightly disappointed; we then opted to wait in the lounge. 2 hours later we were able to check in. The front desk were very apologetic and gave us a late check out as well as waiving the pet fee. Our room was nice and spacious. The only complaint I have is the drainage noise but other than that our stay was fine. Will definitely book again in the future. read more

Stayed @ the Vinland for my birthday weekend, Aug 1-3. I had 2 rooms and both rooms air conditioners were so loud, we couldn't sleep. To top that off, on my birthday night, we got back to the hotel about 1:30am and right outside my room there were like 7 people drinking, smoking, and being really loud. I called the lobby and she went out and asked them to keep it down, I guess. I think it went on for about 30 more minutes. Customer service was ok, they offered to have maintenance come to look at the AC, but I had already looked at Yelp and saw that there were numerous other complaints about the loud AC units. Also, the WiFi is awful! Barely worked! I didn't complain about this cause the AC issue was more important. Also, while not really a problem, the pic shows their tv w/ wires hanging out everywhere. Again, not an issue, but tacky... It's for sure not worth the price we paid. read more

We had a one night stay at Vinland Hotel and I have to say across the board some of the least friendly staff I have ever encountered. I understand that Solvang is very busy at the holidays but a little kindness and customer service goes a long way. They all seemed to be incredibly annoyed by all the guests and any and all requests. It was borderline uncomfortable how rude they all were. Location was nice. The rooms were fine, but very loud. We were in a "city view" room and it was on the first floor basically right at the street and between the street noise and the AC (that had to be run because our room was an absolute sauna), it was so loud. Then add to it the clydesdale horses who were staying at the room above us and apparently galloping around their room until 1am, it was one of the worst night's of sleep I've ever had. read more

MANY PROPS TO THIS HOTEL!!! After such an awful experience with HARRASSMENT and LIARS at the KING FREDRICK, I actually never wanted to give $ to Solvang at all. But The Vinland rocks! They acknowledged our SERVICE. animals with no questions. Also a big SHOUT OUT TO Teresa for locating my forgotten backpack and actually met us in Hayward to give it back. FORGET THE KING FREDRICK, come to The Vinland if you want RESPECT!!! THANK YOU GREATLY!!! read more

Great location, good price, very nice boutique hotel. They did a good job remodeling it recently. We had a first floor room, which didn't sound great, but it's above the parking garage so it's not ground level. First floor gets a patio instead of balcony, very nice! read more

I'm beyond disappointed with the Vinland Hotel. I booked a room through a third party for Friday the 14th, but unfortunately had a medical emergency and needed to cancel or move my reservation. The third-party representative called the hotel and spoke with Teresa, politely explaining the situation and asking if, given the emergency, they could waive the cancellation fee just this once. Teresa's answer was a cold "No." I then called myself, hoping that speaking directly would help. Teresa got on the phone and immediately gave me attitude. I calmly explained that I had a doctor's note and wasn't trying to take advantage of anything, just asking for understanding. She repeated that she wasn't waiving the fee because "that's not policy," and when I said I might call my bank to dispute the charge, she flat-out told me, "That's what you'll have to do." Frustrated, I asked to speak to a manager and got Maria. I explained the situation again, hoping she would show at least a little empathy, but she didn't. Her tone was just as dismissive and cold. And when I told her I'd be writing a review about my experience, she hung up in my face. At that point, their message was crystal clear: "We don't care about your emergency; we just want your money." It's disgusting how little compassion or professionalism this hotel shows. My wife and I come to Solvang every year for our anniversary and enjoy trying new hotels -- but after this, we will never stay at the Vinland again. The way I was treated by both Teresa and Maria was completely unacceptable. read more

This hotel was great. It's at the end of the town coming from Ostrich Land. Staff were nice a d answered all of our questions about the town. Bartender was this nice old gentleman who made one of the best creeper mixed cocktails, got a lil buzzed on my 1st drink. The ambiance was modern and clean. Came here with 4 adults and 4 kids in a 3 queen beds loft room. Would stay here again. read more

Vinland hotel in Solvang was beautiful and peaceful. Quick and easy check in. Staff responded quickly through text for simple things like a toothbrush or extra pillows. We didn't try any food from the kitchen but got 2 cocktails before bed which were great and tasty. Ambiance in bar is great. We would definitely stay here again. PS walking distance to everything in Dt Solvang read more

I thought for 4 days before posting this review. My predominant reasons for thinking so very hard about it are: 1. Thor, Rick and Raquel. These team members really did make our experience worth while. 2. I don't give "ok" reviews lightly. We arrived 2 hrs before check in-Thor was so very kind to let us park and begin touring the community without worrying about traffic or parking. Raquel was in the lobby tidying up. When I spoke to her, she was ecstatic to show me where the coffee/sugar and other items were. This was so welcoming and set the tone for the visit well. That evening we met Rick. He's a delight to interact with and definitely loves his job!!! So, why 3 stars you may be asking? Valley view means looking at trees and not the street. But the trees are dense and there is nothing visible through them. The heat went out on night one. We woke up to a room so cold I could not move. Not a problem. Thor came in, showed us a trick to reset the heater and we once again had a warm room. Come back that evening...no heat. Reset. Wake up next morning to no heat. So...I tell the front desk there's a problem. Young lady says, oh I didn't know you had a problem. I'll get you a space heater. Return that evening. No space heater. So, we jacked the heat up to 76 and let the room boil so that when the heat "malfunctioned" over night we wouldn't freeze. This was really a big part of the end of my day. I know a hotel is a place to shower/sleep but come on. Figuring out how to "out think the malfunctioning heater" is not what I expected for my romantic holiday to Christmas town. The last is also for management. The only furniture in the room was our bed and a desk chair. No table. No couch. When I woke up before my husband I sat awkwardly in the bed playing on my phone. When we reheated leftovers for a meal, we sat awkwardly at the foot of the bed. When we watched tv or put on our shoes. You guessed it, we sat at the foot of the bed. These experiences felt forced ...like the person who designed the room said "no one actually spends time in their room while on vacation. All they need is a shower and bed". Though I do not disagree with the overall thought, as a guest, you are in the room for more than sleep. People drink coffee and check messages. People eat meals and (not in my case) have children who want snacks. A bed and a desk chair is really just being cheap in your furniture. Plain and simple. read more

Came here for a 1 night stay, and it has everything we need! Perfect location for walking through the downtown area, which makes it very convenient. The most important factor to me is cleanliness, and the room is very clean. It looks recently updated, and the staff are very kind and helpful. We have our small dog with us on this trip, and were happy to hear that this location is pet friendly (there is an additional fee, but not an exorbitant one). We stayed in a queen room. read more

The food, service and ambiance is ok however im not sure how clean it is beyond the smell of bleach in the sheets. The pump bottles they definitely reuse for toiletries such as shampoo had built up residue in the cracks. I only noticed it AFTER my shower filled the cracks enough to reveal the brown and black goo; ew. I support recycling and reusing but not when the objects in question are impossible to completely clean. They need new and different bottles before someone gets sick. read more

We had a super fun business trip to celebrate some recent successes and stayed at this hotel for two nights. It was clean and centrally located to all the best parts of Solvang / Los Olivos. The bar was fun & the rooms were clean! Would definitely stay here again. read more

A Perfect Start to the New Year! Stay Dates: Dec 31 - Jan 2 We couldn't have asked for a better place to ring in the New Year than The Vinland Hotel and Lounge. From the moment we checked in on New Year's Eve, the atmosphere was welcoming, upscale, and festive. What we loved: * The Lounge: Having the lounge right on-site was a game changer for New Year's Eve. The drinks were expertly crafted, and the vibe was sophisticated yet high-energy. It was the perfect spot to celebrate without having to worry about transport. * The Rooms: Our room was spotless, modern, and incredibly comfortable. After the late-night celebrations, the bed provided a fantastic night's sleep. * Location: The hotel is perfectly situated for exploring the area. We loved being able to walk to local shops and restaurants during our stay. * The Staff: Every team member we encountered was professional and genuinely friendly, even during a busy holiday weekend. Waking up on January 1st in such a beautiful, well-maintained hotel set exactly the right tone for the year ahead. If you're looking for a blend of style, comfort, and great service, I highly recommend staying here. We will definitely be back! read more

Outstanding service all around. Every interaction was pleasant and the staff was very accommodating. We came for a get away and this hotel has by far been the best even in comparison to some larger chain hotels. Will be coming back and book here in the future. read more

We had a very nice overnight stay. Check-in was quick and efficient, and the front desk staff was very friendly. Room was spacious with comfortable beds, and there was a neat partial open concept, where the bathroom sink and mirror were essentially part of the living area. The shower/tub and toilet are in their own room, which was a little cave-like. Shower pressure was super-strong, which caused some problems as the water easily splashed onto the bathroom floor, so make sure the curtain is completely closed. AC was effective, but a little noisy. Wi-fi was decent, but we oddly had to sign back in every time we came back to the room (rather than the network remembering our devices for at least 24 hrs). We really could've used more electrical outlets; consider bringing your own powerstrip or a charger with multiple ports if you have a bunch of things to plug in. The fridge did not have a freezer section (which we had hoped for, since we had an icepack for our cooler) -- the front desk directed us to the bar, who cheerfully agreed to store the icepack in their freezer until we needed it. There's also a microwave and Keurig machine. No in-room safe. Plenty of complimentary covered parking, and there are two 12A Tesla chargers (which charge at about 6 miles/hr), first come first served. We didn't have time to take advantage of the pool or hot tub. The pool is small but looked well-maintained -- best for cooling off and playing with the kids rather than swimming laps. The hotel is located at the west end of the main downtown area -- not in the very heart, but the downtown area is small enough that it's still an easy walk to reach all areas. Overall, this is a very good hotel choice. The issues I mentioned above were all pretty minor in the big picture. read more

My daughter and I stayed at the Vinland Hotel and Lounge in Solvang back in June, and unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. After our stay, we discovered that we had gotten bed bugs from the hotel bed. When I contacted the hotel, the supervisor confirmed that they found a trace of bed bugs in the room. However, the general manager chose not to take responsibility and essentially tried to sweep the issue under the rug rather than address it properly. This has been an expensive and stressful process to deal with - from treating our belongings to ensuring our home was clear of any infestation. I'm sharing this review simply to warn others and encourage future guests to check their rooms thoroughly before settling in. It's really unfortunate, as I expected much more from a hotel at this price point and reputation. read more

I recently stayed at Vinland Hotel in Solvang with my family, and overall, it was a pleasant experience! We booked a two queen room, and the beds were incredibly comfortable--perfect for a restful night. The room was clean and had all the essentials, and I especially appreciated the Malin+Goetz shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. It made the whole experience feel a bit more luxurious. The shower had great water pressure, which is always a plus, and the location couldn't have been more convenient. Solvang Market is right across the street, so if you forget anything, it's no problem at all. Plus, being so close to both Paula's Pancake House and Osteria made dining out a breeze--both restaurants are local favorites and are definitely worth checking out. Another nice perk is that the hotel is a short drive away from Ostrichland USA, which was a fun and unique experience for the family! They also offer a nice complimentary coffee bar throughout the day, which was a great touch and perfect for getting an extra caffeine boost. One of the highlights for us was the lounge area. We brought a few board games and had a fun time relaxing in the evening. The staff was welcoming and friendly, which made the stay even more enjoyable. However, I do have to mention a couple of drawbacks. First, the air conditioner. It was so loud! It sounded like a jet taking off every time it kicked on, and that noise was on and off throughout the night. It did make it harder to sleep at times. That said, the front desk was kind enough to offer a portable air conditioner to help with the noise, which we appreciated. Also, while not the hotel's fault, we could hear a kid stomping and jumping upstairs, and that noise was pretty loud. It definitely made things a bit less peaceful, but luckily, it quieted down once they left. Lastly, the fan in the bathroom was broken, which made the room feel a bit steamy after showers. It wasn't a huge issue, but it would have been nice if that were working. Despite these small issues, I would still recommend Vinland Hotel for its cleanliness, comfort, location, great amenities, and the overall welcoming vibe. Just maybe bring some earplugs if you're a light sleeper and hope the neighbors are quieter than we had! read more

We enjoyed the comfort of our room, however, a couple of nice chairs would be a great addition since there is nowhere to sit except the bed & desk chair. The bed & pillows are very comfortable. The overhead rain shower head is a nice touch but the water pressure is not strong enough & hair gets wet if no shower cap. V Lounge was great! We stayed here last year & had the pleasure of meeting Rick & his Key Lime Pie Martini. We saw Rick the first night of our stay but enjoyed meeting AJ the next 2 days at Happy Hour & night cap time. AJ is also very personable & makes creative delicious cocktails like the Espresso Martini & Blueberry Pie Martini. Everyone at Front Desk was welcoming, friendly & genuinely happy to help. read more

This was such a quality find for a somewhat last minute reservation! On a whim, my friend and I decided to visit Solvang/SLO area. We drove to solvang on a Thursday night, arriving at the hotel just before 10am. Staff were courteous, polite and gave us coupons for wine tasting and breakfast the next day (the breakfast was received through the website where I booked the hotel). The next morning, we stopped back into the lobby for coffee before exploring the town. Every single staff member who we came into contact with were so friendly and welcoming. The hotel itself was also very clean and per their website, recently upgraded (2020). If you're passing through town or looking for a place to stay, I recommend Vinland. It's right on the edge at the beginning of the village, so you can easily loop through and end right back at the hotel! read more

There were several pet-friendly hotels in Solvang recommended by BringFido, but Vinland Hotel & Lounge caught my eye because of its 5-bone rating and affordability. A couple of things to take into consideration are their nightly resort fee and one-time pet fee for $50, but their parking is free. I booked a one-night stay for a room with a king-size bed, and I was highly satisfied with the overall stay. Our Iggy acclimated to the place as well. I thought the hotel had a great location. Even though Vinland was located at the start of Mission Drive, all the Danish restaurants, bakeries, and other attractions were so close and easily accessible by walking. The staff was great. The gentleman who helped us with checking in was very friendly and helpful when we asked about good restaurants for dinner. We took him up on one of his recommendations, and he did not lead us astray! Our room was clean and huge. This was perfect as my dog had plenty of space to roam around. The bathroom shower was very nice. It looked newly remodeled. Loved the waterfall shower, which had the right amount of pressure and heated up quickly. We had a Keurig, microwave, mini fridge, and safe. At first, I thought we were missing a closet, but I realized that the wall by the bathroom was opened up to create space for storage and hanging clothes. We used this open space to put our dog's food and water bowls. I didn't mind that our room didn't have additional furniture like a lounge chair. We had a decently big balcony with patio furniture that made up for it. Candidly, there were a couple of areas for improvement, such as the lack of available outlets, the sink area needed towel hanging bars, and they readily had body and hand towels but no wash cloths. We couldn't find the smart TV's remote. We had the remote for the cable, but we wanted to log into our streaming accounts to watch TV. Not the end of the world, but we thought it was odd that this remote was missing from our room. On the flipside, I don't think I ever had a hotel room that had full-blown Comcast! So we weren't at a complete loss and were able to catch up on our premium channel shows. read more
