I loved this hotel. Staff are very friendly, and accomodating. It's close to everything, easily accessible, and after a day's (and night) visit to nearby Solvang, its like coming home to your own bed. Although it's by the freeway, it's fairly quiet and quaint. The hotel might be dated, but its very clean and the staff try very hard to maintain it, and they're always all smiles! That adds value for me as a traveller and visitor.
