Top El Capitan State Beach Hotel Reviews

Vinland Hotel and Lounge

Vinland Hotel and Lounge

10/10 Excellent
"Very nice place that felt high end yet welcoming. The only issue that wasn't 5 stars was a fan motor that was extremely loud and might have been going out. We got there late and didn't say anything so I can't day the stay wouldn't have addressed it if mentioned. The room was kept could enough when we arrived that it didn't need to run very long anyway. Every staff member we came across was very friendly, and i loved the room and bathroom and shower. I wanted to stay longer."

"An older hotel, older furnishings but including a microwave oven and fridge, amenities no longer offered by newer hotels. Located at the edge of Solvang but a good deal for travelers who want to save money on a clean but older place without the latest and greatest appliances."
