The hotel is delightful. The location is peaceful, right on the edge of where things start to hustle and bustle but separated enough to not feel the pressure of the crowds. The courtyards are immaculate and have lovely relaxation areas with games and fire pits. There is a recreational room with more games. It felt like a cozy cabin. So family friendly and clearly doggy friendly as well! Will 100% stay there again. The only thing I would say is missing is a hot tub for soaking the old bones after a day of walking the village. Oh! And the TV in room was GINORMOUS! Since I had a slight head cold, I actually used it one night and it was an unexpected delight

Cute and comfy room. Was clean and good location but the WiFi didn’t work and there was a sewer smell in the bathroom. Better when we opened the window but there are only first floor rooms. Staff left at 6pm so no one to tell.

A pleasant surprise, quaint, quiet and terrific find. My wife and love our Solvang get aways coming from Ventura County. We stumbled across The Marlo because we wanted to stay somewhere different. The Marlo is tucked away on Alisol Road but well worth checking out. The rooms are boutique in nature and the staff is welcoming. I'd highly encourage those who are willing to step out of what they know in Solvang and check out The Marlo.
