Petersen Village Inn, Solvang

My wife and I stayed two nights abd we both loved the ambiance and character of this hotel! Found the hotel staff very helpful and professional, the food was stellar and the rooms were very comfortable with 90+ degree days. Many shops and wine tasting rooms within 150 yards walk. Some reviews we read were downbeat, but we didn't see anything but a wonderful time! We heartily recommend staying at the Petersen!

My husband and I go to the hotel, usually two or three times a year. It is lovely, and unlike the previous writer, we have experienced nothing but wonderful service. Yes, there is wall paper, but it is part of the theme decor, and I have never seen any of it peeling. It is so clean and everytime we have been there we have seen at least three people polishing the wood side boards in the halls. The beds are so comfortable, with five down pillows. We have had rooms on the courtyard which is lovely, and rooms facing the street. As Sovang pretty much rolls up the streets at 7pm, we have never been bothered by noice. The dinners are wonderful. Free coffee, tea or cocoa brought to our room on request. I hope the disgruntled folks try the hotel again, they may have just been in a poor mood when they left home.

We loved it! The rooms were beautiful, the Danish pasteries out of this world, and the food in the cafe wonderful. We also had good service and loved the cute little shops within walking distance just off the courtyard.

Watch out for the owner. Went to meet friend for dinner .. went into the hotel via their one way driveway. An oncoming SUV entered the lane in the wrong direction and parked in the available parking space. Drove up and rolled window to inform the driver that they were doing the wrong direction and that I needed to park where they were. Response I got "I F***ing own this hotel. I'm Stephanie Petersen". She then drove off. I live in the area, know several people with businesses in the area as well as have a large client base. I will let my associates know NEVER to recommend or stay at this hotel as they may run into the RUDE owner at anytime and get the same response I got.
