The Winston Solvang

Ok, I'm old, but this place was a little wacky. First, itt could really benefit from some better curb appeal. Upon locating the building (just off the main drag in Solvang), we wondered if we were in the right place, withh the drab paint and papered up windows. Looked abandoned. We pulled into the handy parking lot and attempeted to find an entry. Fortunately, Maria, one of the housekeepers, pointed us to a glass door with a small entry box. You call a number and they give you the code to enter. Once inside, (quite spacious and clean) it was another search for our uite. Again, fortunately, a housekeeper showed us the way. Next was getting in the door. The wackiest entry I've ever seen. You cover the pad with your palm, which activates it so you can ebetr your cose. Voila". Entre. The suite itself was also spacious and clean, came with plenty of storage, a Nespresso machine and a fridge. No cream for the coffee. Went searching in the common kitchen/honor bar. Again, the housekeeper Maria showed me where to find the cream. Next trick, the TV. Couldn't get it to function. Called the number for service and a repair man was quickly dispatched. He figured out the problem (cable had been lightly unplugged) and we were in business. The bed was comfy and the shower was spacious with good water pressure. So, all in, a great room at a great price for the area! Just a little wacky. And a big thanks to Maria who put the Visible into the Invisible service!
