Clean and inviting

For $140 for a Friday night in Solvang, The M Solvang is a sweet deal considering just about anywhere else in town is going to cost $200+ on a weekend.  I believe we got the "Apple" room, on the corner of the building.  We arrived late after 9pm, so the keys were conveniently left at the office.  

PROS:
-Our clean, spacious room was more like a mini-suite.  There was an extra small room connected with chairs...perfect for my wife to do her early morning yoga and me to stay up later before going to bed.
-Fridge, Coffee Machine
-Quite location away from the main tourist drag
-Charming and meticulously well kept gardens and premises.  

CONS:
-None for me, but for the out of shape tourist, the 2 block walk into downtown might be much for your weak body.  

It might be another 20 years when I visit Solvang again, if The M is still around and in the same great condition I'd happily stay here again.

Nice!

We spent there one night during our trip in California. We liked this place a lot. Please note that it’s renamed now to M Solvang. Nice decorated rooms.  Perfect location. Reasonably priced. Only wish they will fix the fireplace in the room and open the spa.

Cozy European style hotel

This hotel is perfect for a Solvang weekend getaway. The rooms are nice and well appointed with a back door leading to a lovely garden sitting area. Its convenient to walk to Solvang shops and restaurants and has off street parking. There is a complimentary continental bfast that is quite good. The rooms are well appointed and very comfortable. The desk clerk was very helpful and friendly. I will definitely recommend and will bring my husband next time.

Cozy Inn within walking distance to shops and restaurants

When we first arrived, we thought, well, we haven’t stayed at a place like this for a long time.  It seemed to be an old motel that had had various updates.  Cons:  room was pretty basic.  Pros:  good size room, bed was fine, cleanliness was fine, courtyard had been turned into a beautiful garden, and most of all, the price was right.  We had family staying at the upscale place just up the street for 3x the price, didn’t see the point of wasting that kind of money in this location (faux-Danish village just not our thing, I guess).

Basic room, good value

We stayed here for one night and although the room was a little tired, we're glad we did. Everything was clean, the room was quiet and comfortable, and the person who checked us in was friendly.  We wanted to stay in a non-chain motel within walking distance of downtown, and this place was perfect (and a little cheaper). We would stay here again and would recommend it to people who want a little character to their lodgings.

Good non-chain place to stay

My wife and I had our first stay here for a night in #8 recently to attend the annual Christmas Tree Lighting and next morning Christmas Parade. I have been traveling to Solvang since long before it became a mecca for wine geeks (of which I am one). 

We have stayed at nearly every other motel/hotel in Solvang and the nearby (3 miles) community of Buellton over the last three decades so this was a first. It is off the beaten path as far as the center of town is concerned; right at the point where it becomes outdoorsy. Most of the others in town are right in town and, although the town rolls up the sidewalks early, the are occasional cars driving down Mission Street, the main drag, upon which at least half of the hotels are located. These are older but updated buildings inside and which do not necessarily have soundproofing against outside noise. None of them are terribly noisy though. The M has none of those problems and your walk into the center of town is 5-7 minutes and not worth starting your car for. 

The room itself was European Quaint with both older touches combined with some reproductions. For instance, our room had a stained glass window in a window between the room and bathroom. At 5 feet though, it afforded privacy while lighting up the room when the bathroom light was on. The shower/tub was new and interesting enough for me to attach a photo. 

Unlike some visitors mentioned, I do not believe the room was too small and the bathroom just on the normal side of what I would call compact. There were a few things that were imperfect (like the horizontal blinds were broken in several places- one could not even be raised or lowered) but with COVID I wouldn't expect them to have time, staff, or money to rush out and replace them. 

The first dozen rooms like we were in were in a "U" shape at the center of which is the office. A nice garden and fountain were in the center with walkways both around and through. There is a drive-through alley to the left just past this building and there is ample parking in the back with individual but attached units I would describe as "suites," each with it's own name, e.g. "Sweet Pea." 

The cost was about the same as comparable hotels in town...except this was only one of three rooms still left when AAA informed us that the room we previously reserved ( and paid for) was not "guaranteed" after all. First and last time booking through AAA. We felt fortunate to find anything three days before a major Solvang event.

We only met one of the staff and she was very pleasant.

A CUTE PLACE TO STAY

We booked a standard king room and were surprised to find that the room had a gas fireplace in a small sitting area as well as a separate bedroom.  Our room was in the front part of the hotel and very quiet.  I thought it was a great value for the price.  Good location and within walking distance to everything.

Charming and Great for the Price

The hotel has plenty of charm. The property is very cute and the room was nice. The bed was very stiff; too stiff for our liking. The pillows were firm as well. Parking was a little hard to come by at times. We arrived after the office closed and were able to find our room easily.

Quaint, but not comfortable

When I was checking in I was quoted a fee for my pet dog that was $40.00 a nite. I did not call to find out what the fees were in advanced or I would of canceled and I needed the room. The person checking me in said they are trying to discourage people bringing their dogs. I should’ve said just remove your pet friendly listing. Last week I stayed in a quality inn and payed $25.00 pet fee for the whole stay. They were very friendly to my pet dog and mad me feel very welcome. I will not stay at M again, too bad cause is a really cute place.
