"I recently had the pleasure of staying at the King Frederik Inn, and it was truly a delightful experience from start to finish. The inn's central location couldn't be more perfect — everything in the charming town of Solvang was within walking distance. From boutique shops to cozy cafes and iconic Danish bakeries, we had it all right at our doorstep. Parking was a breeze with easy and convenient parking right on-site, which made unloading luggage a stress-free experience. The inn itself was...

"Overall the stay was great ! Had made a one night stay for 2 and our dog. I'm glad to say that all Motel 6 locations allow your fur babies to stay free with you. The area was good, it was near by places to go eat and head to the beach. Loved how the front desk rep asked where would we like to have our room, we picked facing the pool since its near by a freeway that can get quiet noisey. We also had forgotten our toothbrush and toothpaste and asked the front desk and they were able to supply us...

"This is the second time that we got to stay here. This time the only thing I can complain about is it was a little more noisier, but what can you do? Other than that it was still comfortable. It was still clean and this time we took advantage of the breakfast. We were pleased with the breakfast. The eggs were good. The sausage was good. The biscuits were good. The hashbrowns were good and they have iced coffee and hot coffee, apple juice, and orange juice. They have milk. Overall, we would...

Town and Country Inn

2.5 star property

"The stay was adequate to our needs. The room had a working Tv, microwave, and fridge which was nice. The employee at the front desk wouldn’t let my boyfriend pay because he had charged the room to my card I used for the reservation before I even checked-in even though the reservation said pay on arrival which was a bit odd. Overall the room was very nice and clean and the stay was pleasant. The price for the room was very reasonable."
