4/10 Fair

Unfortunately threre was a city festival & the driveway to the motel was closed off. Had to park very far away and carry luggage at check in and check out. Front desk did help with luggage for check in and helped me find parking
Renee, 1-night trip

Clean, comfortable and reasonable. Ray, the manager, was welcoming and service oriented.
Rick, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Gotta say this was a great place to stay for price. Friendly staff easy check in . Room was very clean as thats the biggest thing for us. Beds are very comfy too. Now place and rooms are older and outdated but that does not mattter as it had everything we needed and again CLEAN. Now if you're looking for a luxurious option this is probably not for you. But if you're not needing a luxurious and expensive place this is it. We will Definitely stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

Great for the price and location

It was clean, quiet and easy. It’s a 2 star motel, but the price and location to Solvang was great.
Lance, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

clen Budget Friendly

Clean just an old motel. Owner was helpful and friendly. No Frills. Budget friendly.
Jim, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was what we expected based on the budget and location. Nothing special or exceptional, but generally clean and safe. It was a great budget-friendly option to visit Solvang, which was a quick 10-min drive away.
Jacqueline, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property could use some upgrades, but the price was below others in the area. It was clean, no smell, and easy to get to. Staff was very helpful and nice.
JayMe, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I enjoyed the two nights I spent there

Quiet, clean and comfortable. Friendly front office people. The air conditioning and mini fridge were a nice touch. San Marcos Motel was exactly what I needed.
Tom, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was great. It was short notice when headed to Solvang, so it was great!
Renee, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice spot
Sean, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not worth it

If there is no option then stay at this motel else look for better one. Very old place for the price over $100. We paid $170 for a old moldy motel definitely not worth it.
Saurabh, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very kind courteous respectful staff all around. Privacy respected and a good value. Comfy beds and bedding, you can see and smell the clean and quiet too.
Stephanie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was nice for what you pay for. Staff was nice and helpful the only thing that I didn't like is that there is nothing around interms of what to do. When we stayed there was power outage and thus Solvang was closed and so was half of the town. I was a tad bit afraid cus the hotel room locks from the outside so when I would turn the knob the door would open so I was always unsure if the door was securely closed.
Wyatt, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very bare bones room but did the job. Facility was very clean and staff, especially front desk person with the septum piercing was super kind!
