Invisible staffing has its ups and downs. Getting in was definitely an understated adventure/challenge but we also happened to check in on a farmer’s market night and naturally the farmer’s market is right in front of the hotel and parking lot. Overall good spot, but not for the tech-unsavvy.

Perfectly located in the heart of shopping, dining, and all downtown… even the Wednesday Farmer’s Market! Room was cozy, spacious and many special touches. The no staffed lobby code entry, Honor system, and overall uniqueness made this a great stay! Across the street is a great coffee shop open later than others and endless bakery options close by. Highly recommend !

Great place to stay!

Loved the “Invisible Service” check in and very much appreciated the onsite, off-street parking in a private lot. Well located a block away from the shops and restaurants. Enormous room and shower! 5 stars! Absolutely recommend staying here.

Great hotel and great location. The rooms were clean. This is more like an AirBnB for checkin. Once you get the code entry and exit was easy.

Staff is great. Lauren helped me through the process. Location of hotel is A+. This hotel is for seasoned traverlers who want a great place to stay. No pool spa etc. Room balcony looked over the park and the Irish Pub was right underneath my room. Fun.

The property itself was nice. Our room was beautiful and comfortable. It was quiet. The thing I didn’t like is there are no on-site staff. No front desk workers. The information from the hotel called it “invisible service.” Here’s an example. The we were unable to connect to the wi-fi. In the check-in information email, it said if there is trouble with the wi-fi, you should call their internet service provider, and they gave the company name and number. So, I called and the technician was asking me questions I didn’t know the answers to, as if I were an employee of the hotel. I texted the number that was provided for general service requests and received a kind response, but no offer of help. “Try connecting again and hopefully that will work.”

Nice find in Solvang

Nice, over-sized rooms. Well appointed. This is a no- contact hotel. There is no lobby. You check-in by phone. However, the staff on the other end is very accomodating. The hotel sits on the 3nd & 3rd floors, above the local Irish Pub. Private parking and an elevator. Very quiet and walking distance to anywhere in Solvang. Will definitely stay here again.

The Winston is truly a hidden gem. The small hotel with limited rooms and contactless check in makes it feel exclusive. Marcy Rose was an exceptional host and ensured that we had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. We loved our stay and will definitely be back!
