This is a bare basics motel, which is not necessarily a bad thing. It comes with big parking spots, both a microwave and a fridge, and it's in a safe location. Check in was easy and the proprietor was friendly. I knew from the photos that this would be a mom-and-pop type establishment, and I was right. For me, this usually means uncomfortable beds and a sore back in the morning (right again). Freeway access was excellent and I liked how I was only a short distance from Solvang.
