"The beds were not very comfortable and sheets were very loud when moving around at night. Close to street so when cars drove by even with AC you could hear it. Not bad for the cost though and would stay again."

"The Vinland is a lovely hotel at the end of Mission Dr.....easy walking all of Solvang without being in the middle of everything.....The room was VERY large and had a small balcony facing the woods....so peaceful and serene. The staff, especially Lolita, Geidy and Miguel, with a shout out to Ebonee were absolutely the MOST helpful with all the info they supplied and help with any small issues.... I would for sure come back to The Vinland!!"
