BAD COSTUMER SERVICE

1.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Nov 28, 2023
Bad costumer service. And the “free breakfast” is only danish nothing else. We stayed for one night for thanksgiving 11/23-11/24/23. When we got to our room the AC wasnt working and when we informed the front dest (eric) he said he will come up and check it, we waited and no one came. I came down to the front desk and the lady said she will check it. After she checked she informed us that it they weren't able to fix it and we have a choice to move or use the fan. We chose to just use the fan since it was cold. They promised us a percentage to be refunded back and we agreed. When i called again today to ff up for the refund i was told by Eric from front desk that the AC was working and wasnt broken and since i booked it through expedia they can’t do a refund.
Date of stay: November 2023
Room Tip: Don't get fooled by the “free breakfast”
Trip type: Travelled with friends

This place was the worst, most disgusting room I have stayed in my whole life! Dirty undergarment present in restroom at arrival, restroom door broken & would not shut at all, greasy floors, mold everywhere, no screens on downstairs windows, stains on dirty bedding, chemical/insect spray smell, just all bad!

Though your stay was less than stellar, we hope you'll give us another chance to change your impression of our hotel.

So-so motel styled hotel. Cleaning service was once in 3 days. Breakfast was a box of Danish and a pile of napkins. Not even coffee. The place has no character. It was an adequate place to crash at night, but nothing more.

We went to Svendsgaard hotel at Solvang on Sep 2nd 2023, the room was over sprayed with room freshener to cover up the SEWER SMELL when I checked in the room, we kept over stuffs and went out to have food. When we came back the room smelled sewer gas, I couldn't enter the room. When we talked to the front office the manager was not ready to apologise.And we called the police to inform about the toxic gas leakage. The upper floor people also had similar issue, and the management hasn't refunded the amount yet. we had to find a hotlel at 8.30 pm which is one hr away from solvang. SUch a nasty hotel and management.Never stay at this hotel.

Excellent location for a our trip to Solvang, CA on our Staycation in California… booked the hotel and it was a good choice, easy to get too ample parking and a cute rustic looking Danish Hotel not a huge hotel also has a pool and jacuzzi , the hotel books up fast, they have excellent customer service the staff was very helpful and nice and friendly… would stay again

Room tip: Lots of parking spots on site only, 2 handicap parking spots in front of hotel and a very small elevator.

Avoid this place at all costs. The staff is incompetent and the entire place smells like a moldy sponge. We spent 40bminutes trying to check in. The guy at the front desk asked to the care of the 7 ppl behind us. Then, when he was done he walked away. We stood there in amazement for 5 minutes then heard his cell phone. We went around the front desk and asked if we were going to be helped, and he said "I'm on my lunch brake. Worst customer service I've experienced in my life. We canceled our room with them and went to Wine Valley inn. Wine valley made up for ther horrible experience We had at Svensgaard and then some.
