Svendsgaard's Lodge- Americas Best Value Inn & Suites

It is in the PERFECT location in the center of Solvang. It is quite quaint, with a beautiful water feature in front and half-timbered facade. You enter the lobby through a stone tower.

Friendly staff, VERY clean room, surprisingly comfortable beds, and free parking! The location is phenomenal, just across the street to the buzzy Solvang downtown (much appreciated in busy seasons when it's impossible to find parking anywhere in town).

The swimming Pool.

The room was great. The fireplace was wonderful to wake up to. The two recliners were great to relax in. The building itself had a dated look to it that made it look warm and fuzzy. However, the "breakfast" was something that was left to be desired. I love Danishes. However, I also do not like coming down to the office to see a box holding Danishes that have the "grease" soaked into it. They were hard and were the day old (or older) rejects from a local bakery. They were so hard (how hard were they?) that I took two each day and then painted them black and I am currently using them for Hockey pucks for my team. It may seem like a minor point but a nicer display (put them on a tray) along with a coffee pot and condiments for coffee would have gotten them a much higher rating. Overall, it was worth the money for the room and the staff. I would stay there again if the opportunity presented itself.

Suggest the Continental breakfast is brought back, or at least add coffee to the lobby pastry table The guest room we had is in need of some refurbishment( especially the floor tiles in the bathroom) The "self make " coffee in the room was Horrible! Overall, a great value for such an expensive town. Perfect location and great price in an attractive building, with friendly & professional staff..
