WOW!! The Marlo is amazing!! When our friends decided to celebrate the birthday in Solvang they shared with us the hotel they were staying at (which wasn't the Marlo btw) to book a room they no longer had rooms available. So I looked to see what hotels that were close to our friends. The Marlo was directly across the street. Not thinking to much we book a room at the Marlo. And let me tell you this I am glad we did!! We travel quite a bit and I have to tell you the Marlo has them beat. From the amazing room to the wonderful staff. We drove out from the Inland Empire and we stopped to spend a good portion of the day in Santa Barbara before heading to Solvang. I received a text message from the staff confirming our arrival time and advised we would be there after 6pm. Being that their office hours are 9a-6p they advised me no worries that they will put my room key in a lockbox and provided me the combination for it. When we arrived a little after 6:30p located the lock box with ease and boom key was there. The next morning I received a text message from the staff asking how our first night was and if there was anything that we would need. Now like I mentioned we travel and have stayed at a lot of 5 star hotels and I can tell you never received that personal attention. We did text asking for some more coffee and coffee cups (I drink a lot of coffee) and they replied instantly we weren't in our room at the time however they asked for our permission to deliver them to the room

Staff service was great. Property still under construction. The old look is gone when it used to be The M. Property under reconstruction and needs to evaluate customer needs, comfort and convenience, not just cutting corners. Staff service great. Property still under construction. Need to evaluate amenities or lack of, to serve customer needs, convenience, and comfort, less on cutting corners.

Actually had a very good stay at this property for this property. The furniture was totally new and the bed was to die for. . We must keep in mind that they redesign the gardens. The remodeled rooms were not affected by the construction because they have finished rooms in the back

The entire property is under construction. It will be awesome once complete. I feel like they should have been closed during this renovation. It’s A LOT. Depending on when you go be sure the construction is done! Bed is HARD, and platform is kinda high, not the easiest bed to get in. No coffee maker in room, no”continental breakfast”, we had to go out first thing for a cup of coffee!! We wil go back after it’s finished!!!

I feel misled by Expedia, not taking down the pictures on their website, deflecting such a beautiful environment, when in fact, they are under full renovations. I spoke to the manager and they have been asking for over. I’m not sure if it was three years or three months to take the pictures off of their site. This is not a bed-and-breakfast.

I stayed at the M Solvang for two nights with my sister and we had a wonderful stay! The room was very clean and comfortable and we had a great time having coffee and a Danish in the garden. It is a perfect small walk from all the shops and restaurants in Solvang, but far enough where you can enjoy some peace and quiet. We look forward to seeing the new additions to the property and agreed that if we ever come back to Solvang we will stay at this location again!

The M Solvang, perfectly ok...

We enjoyed our stay at The M Solvang hotel. The location provided excellent walking proximity to the shops and restaurants in solvang. The hotel property seemed quite dated and the amenities in the room were certainly not upscale. It was almost as if they slapped a new sign on an old hotel, the Solvang garden inn or whatever it used to be, and haven't really done anything since. The hotel manager was friendly, and mentioned they will be doing some significant updates to the property, so it would be nice to come back and see how it looks in a few months.

New Years Eve

This was a quick trip to Solvang just one night. Everything was great. The only thing I can give a complaint on is that when I checked out they tagged on an extra $10 when I asked what this was for the gentleman told me it was for the coffee cups the soap and the shampoo that they charge for. Doesn’t this usually come included with the price of a hotel room? This extra fee that I was not expecting, even though it was not that much, was kind of annoying because those things should be included in the price of a room.
