Beware!

2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jan 21, 2024
Be WARNED! Dark and gloomy room. Walls recently painted but no wall prep (wall art holes not filled). Gaping cracks around entrance door ( we could see light coming thru). TV cable not working on certain channels (desk was called and said they could nothing about it). No evidence or mention of breakfast at check in or on welcome brochure. Room sanitizer/freshener smelled and burned our eyes. No Kleenex tissue in room. We elected not to spend the night and a future reservation has been cancelled.

Dishonest, not kept up and no help with issues!
Friday, arrived and was given a regular king room not the deluxe king we paid for. When questioned was moved to a deluxe king. Left for dinner and can back to find the room was filled with gas from the fireplace. When brought it to the attention of the front desk they denied and issues. I suggest we call fire department at which time the moved us to a suite.
Next day the toilet backed up in the suite. Was informed they had no one to resolve the issue, no available rooms and could not call a plumber. They suggested we could use the bathroom outside by the pool, 3 floors down. Sadly we found we are stuck here for the night since no other hotel has any openings.

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.

Room tip: Don't get fooled by the “free breakfast”

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!

Our goal is to provide our guests with clean, comfortable rooms, so it saddens us to learn we failed to achieve that during your time with us. Rest assured, we will share your comments with the respective teams so that we can immediately work on improving our accommodations. 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.
