Great concept, not so great execution. Loud pressure washer cleaning hotel garage going for over 3 hours leaving mud and water in the hotel parking lot. Difficulty checking in and staff on phone couldn't hear me over the noise of the pressure washer. Was told by Thor, assistant manager, noise would stop at 4pm, then 4:30pm, then pressure washing company boss was going to make him stop, then he'd stop by 5pm, Finally we left, walked thru the water and mud to our car, and went to dinner @ 6;30. he was still pressure washing and machine was right by our room. We were in Solvang for our 50th anniversary and thought we'd try a new hotel concept. Overall, not the best experience. It sounds almost unbelievable, but the pictures prove it

The Winston was a great place! The room was immaculate and was centrally located in town. Everything was no more than a 5 to 10 minute walk. The staff, although they are not present, were very accessible through text. They respond within minutes for any concerns you may have. I highly recommend the Winston and would happily stay there again in the future.

Our 2nd stay in as many years. Winston is great for large rooms, convenient location and parking, pet friendly, and bright, eclectic decor borrowed from Kit Kemp Designs at the very upscale Firmdale Hotels in London and NY. But this is an old converted wood frame structure with a few negatives: Room 12 is right over Fitzpatrick bar and morning deliveries of idling diesel trucks are annoying. Doors and windows are far from soundproof in fact the light wind blew the sheer drapes inside with the doors locked. Water pressure is abysmal - I get the water saving needed in this dry area, but it was challenging to rinse the soap off with so little water - the stream was ā€œdroopyā€. No staff - virtual digital check in which was fine; friendly text exchanges. Honor bar and in-room Nespresso machine is nice but a little skimpy on the coffee creamers provided. A dressing mirror would have been nice - and there is plenty of room - we both had to get ready for a wedding in front of the one bathroom mirror over the sink. I would say Winston is a great concept and thoughtfully executed, but a little more TLC and attention to details above is called for. But, with only a cleaner - no front desk, no manager on site, it feels like ā€œout of sight, out of mindā€ might be a factor.

I will definitely stay again! Easy access to our room & walking distance to everything we were interested in. The room itself was nicely decorated & clean, comfortable bed. We brought our pup with us & they had a water bowl & treats for him. There was an expresso machine, water & chocolates which were all nice touches. The robes & slippers in the restroom were nice too. I recommend anyone to stay here!

This hotel is in walking distances to almost all parts of downtown Solvang, so location wise, it is very good. Parking is free and easy. Although there is no staff onsite, check in/check out is very smooth and convenient. The room is of Danish style, and is quite new and modern. Generally a good stay!
