"Mattresses were too firm & difficult to sleep. Otherwise property was clean & well-maintained. Free hot Breakfast (scramble eggs, sausage, pancakes, cereals, pastries, juices, teas, coffee) & free parking were a plus. Keurig coffee & teas in room. Body gel, shampoo, & conditioner in shower with pumps. Room refrigerator & large TV. Desk with internet connection for people needing to work. Thank you for your service."

The Hadsten Solvang, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"Property was clean and located within easy walking distance of the main downtown area of Solvang. One thing to note. The room we were in did have the A/C unit in the bathroom which was odd. Might not matter to some but it was a bit warmer when we went and it was different keeping the bathroom open to use it and then have it be extra cold in the smaller space of the bathroom when taking a shower in the morning or evening. Other than that nice property to stay in Solvang."
