My stay at The Marlo was good despite a few minor hiccups. The location is perfect, with easy access to shopping and dining, and the garden is a lovely place to relax. However, I found the breakfast offerings to be lacking, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, I would highly recommend it for its charm and comfort.

I loved my room's coziness, and it was clean with excellent water pressure in the shower. It had a kitchenette, which added convenience to my stay. However, it would have benefited from better furniture arrangement and perhaps a newer bed.

The Marlo is ideally situated just outside the main street, making it peaceful yet close to all the local attractions and bakeries. I loved being able to walk to everything in town.

Breakfast had potential but fell short; the selection was quite limited, with only pastries and limited fruit. I was hoping for a heartier meal, perhaps some eggs or toast to fill me up.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. The location was great, as it was just a short walk to the village, but the condition of my room left much to be desired. It smelled musty, and I struggled with the loud AC and street noise. However, I did appreciate the beautiful gardens and cozy atmosphere around the lodge.

My room was poorly maintained, with a strong musty smell and broken fixtures. I found the lack of a comfortable chair particularly disappointing, leaving only the bed for sitting, which wasn't ideal for working. Overall, I expected more given the price.
Service

Check-in was frustrating; I had to wait until almost 4:30 PM with no staff around to assist. While there were friendly employees when present, the lack of support at critical times was disappointing.

I had a lovely stay at The Marlo in Solvang, though there were a few quirks. The gardens were a highlight, creating a serene atmosphere, even if I couldn't fully enjoy them due to the cold rain. The room was cozy and clean, perfect for a short visit, but a bit small for a longer stay. The breakfast was good, and the location was excellent, nestled just off the main drag but close to everything I wanted to explore.

I had a pleasant stay at The Marlo, but there were some ups and downs. The hotel had a charming vibe and was well-kept, though it could use a bit of updating. The location was fantastic, just a couple of blocks from the main attractions in Solvang, and the staff were friendly and helpful. However, the breakfast left a lot to be desired and the rooms were on the smaller side, especially for the price I paid.
