I stayed at the Mirabelle Inn for two nights. We arrived very late around 11pm and the staff was very welcoming and friendly, even for it being so late. We were in room 9 on the third floor. The staff suggested we take the elevator which was a little sketchy. Our room was nice but you could tell the building was older. The water pressure was great but I had trouble with the temperature. The beds were fine but the pillows not so much. The location was super convenient to the shops and food. If you order breakfast Id recommend the avocado toast
Beautiful, cozy boutique hotel with great hospitality! Kelly at the reception took such a good care of us. Must enjoy dinner at the First and the Oak, where you can try all their appetizers, pasta and the seafood. Everything was so tasty, except the steak was too well done. Benjamin served our table with great professionalism, ensuring our little birthday celebration went well.
Great sunny evening in Central CA. Nice table on the outdoor patio.Both the Sommelier and our Server were great.The food was great! Appetizers were unique and tasty.Everyone (4) enjoyed their dish, Scallops, Lamb, and Duck, and Wine.Like they say, you dont get a lot of food but you do get good quality food that is very satisfying.Definitely a place to try again.
My girl friend and I booked a valentines weekend at the Mirabelle inn. Although this hotel has a very cute and boutique feel we unfortunately were given a terrible room. We paid over $360 for our room and were placed on the first floor in room 1 right next to the kitchen to the First and Oak restaurant. This is the only hotel room on the first floor and it’s placed right in between the restaurant bathroom and the restaurant kitchen. I will attach a photo to show you how close we were to the kitchen. We couldn’t go to bed because of how noisy it is. When we called the front desk at 9:45 pm they just told us they couldn’t move us because they are fully booked. I wouldn’t be complaining at all if we were paying a discounted rate but that was not that case. In my personal opinion, a 4 star hotel with a Michelin star restaurant should know better than to have a guest room next to the kitchen and bathroom in a noisy location. Other than this unfortunate issue we had the hotel is pleasant and has a nice vibes and provided us a complimentary bottle of wine !
We also came very late at night, like 11ish. We had two rooms, one an accessible one, and one a standard one. Other than the fact that I booked directly with them, and I believe paid more as a result, the stay, although very short was the highlight of our 8 night vacation. I own a b and b myself, (and while I have moral objections to shipping water from italy, when we have great american water nearby,) i loved the presentation, the decor, the amenities.I wish that we had stayed there more than one night and my husband and I may return again, when we are not traveling with a person who needs ada accomodations. Their room was lovely though.i actually thought the house was about 100 years older than it is. I mean that as a compliment. It has a victoriana or at least a european feel, that I associate with the higher quality of times past. Anyway I found it charming, warm and extremely comfortable, especially the bed and the pillows.I would most definitely return.
The location bills themselves as a boutique Hotel but after visiting there this past Valentines weekend we can say this is not the case. The inn is old, and has been refurbished to give it a boutique appearance but you can tell its been awhile and the last refurbishment wasnt done very well. We purchased 2 nights, in the Suite. I say Suite because thats what they call it, for lack of an actual room number. Its in the Attic of the building and structurally what you would expect. In the room, there were exposed wiring, two sunroofs that were both heavily cracked and dirty, the paint was poor and the walls were also dirty and faded, there was an old school, and yellowed, AC unit attached to the far wall, and there were a number of small doors that were locked and apparently led to nowhere. The furniture was nice, and had a boutiqey feel to it. There was a large dollhouse that we imagined some would find interesting but I thought was creepy (something you might see in the Poltergeist, or Ghost Hunters). The bed was just fine. They gave us a complimentary wine bottle, which was also okay.Room aside, our main issue really was the staff, which, the one gentleman named Tommie aside, the entire staff was curt, or sometimes just outright abrupt with us. We felt none of the staff had any time to chat or discuss anything. This is a boutique hotel in Solvang, so our expectation was we could at least chat a little bit about the town. Wed hoped booking at a boutique hotel and shelling out for the top suite would provide us with an experience. That was just not the case. We felt rushed in almost every interaction and it really got to the point where we just didnt want to bother them, or try at all by the second night.So the Mirabelle boasts a Michelin rated restaurant called the First & Oak and we very quickly learned that about 95% of the staffs effort went into managing this restaurant alone. At a guess wed estimate the Mirabelle has no more than 20 to 25 rooms and the restaurant was booked the entire stay. We had to work and wait patiently checking in 3 times on our second evening and finally ask Tommie to help us get a seat. You might think spending as much money as we did on the Suite would at least get us into the restaurant but that wasnt the case.The food itself was good. We did order an appetizer that never arrived. The same staff that helps check you in, or direct you to rooms also serves as wait staff. We started to understand why they had little patience with guests. theyre all doubling as waiters/waitresses. We also ordered the Catch of the day which was a Cod. We received Salmon instead (which wasnt even on the menu) and so we politely sent it back and asked them to correct the order. If this were a franchise restaurant we might not have cared but we wanted to eat here because of the Michelin rating and because they advertised loudly that they were the only Michelin rated restaurant in the town. No complaints about the food, other than the missing appetizer and the mixup in our main course. We did think to ourselves that with such errors, another restaurant might have offered to comp us but we didnt ask and they didnt offer.Overall, we felt the hotel was just old and tried to pass this old feeling off as boutique. Given the $$ it cost us to rent the Suite for 2 nights, I would not only NOT stay here again, but recommend others consider some of the other hotels in the area. For a 3rd of the price we paid, we might consider staying here again if we just needed a bed. But for the money that we paid, we did not get the experience we were hoping for. As a matter, we ended up getting a very negative experience overall.
Beautiful! It was so cute and staff was really nice. You get complimentary wine when you arrive to your room. My fiance loved it. The fireplace made the room cozy when it was chilly early mornings and late nights.
My husband and I were booked to stay for our 2nd wedding anniversary in which we had been looking forward to this for a month since we made our reservation. On the day of our reservation the hotel called us 1 hour after check in to tell us due to plumbing issues we would not have the room we booked, when we voiced our disappointment and asked what they were willing to do all they could offer was another room without the jacuzzi tub in which they would offer a 10% discount off the original cost of the other room in which when spending $460.for one night stay to not get what you were expecting or looking forward to the discount was nothing and didnt even cover the sales tax. We asked several times if there was anything else they would be willing to do and they said no. This hotel received one star because their customer service in handling this very disappointing situation was horrible and the attitude of the person helping us was like whatever take it or leave it, in which we decided to leave it and cancelled our reservation and found some where else to stay. Based on poor customer service I doubt we will give this hotel we were looking so forward to another chance.
Very nice bed and breakfast style place. We loved the comfy room and fireplace. Staff was also wonderful. We would definitely stay here again
Beautiful room with a comfy bed, great bathroom and towels. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was okay, but not out of this world. We really hoped it would have been. The coffee is fantastic! We will stay here again absolutely!
Cute hotel. Great location. The staff is really nice. Their breakfast is good and served later that typical places, 8am to 10am. They provide shampoo, conditioner, lotion, body wash, soap, cotton, and q-tips. They also give you a complimentary bottle of wine and cookies. Only reason for the 4 starts instead of 5 is because the walls are super thin, and you can hear pretty much everything in the rooms next to you.
So this was....... Interesting to say the least. Never been to Solvang, so went off reviews, and booking one month in advance i thought was more than plenty of time, or at least I thought through a 3rd party site.Anyway, I booked here Friday through Sunday for my wifes birthday. When I booked, there were 3 rooms available. I specifically remember this as I like to shop around and always check multiple sites as well as reviews. No hassle doing so, thought the area was quite pricey but as everything else was in the same range, 700$ for two nights was average.We checked in Friday mid afternoon. Was booked into the only room on the first floor. I thought it was weird as it was sooo early that we would get this room, but was too excited to get out and explore the small town that we didnt think much of it. Honestly, i thought we were going into a closet🤣The room, by all means was clean. Nice/cute set up. TV to be honest was a little small, at least to my thought, but was cool that it moved in all directions of the room.Anyway, after being out and about all afternoon and most of the evening, we arrived back to the room at about 8. There was a private event at the restaurant located onsite of the hotel. We honestly didnt think anything of it going to our room, but when we got inside, it was as if the door didnt even exist. We could literally hear conversations being held by staff(jeez so critical of people), and even guests in the restaurant. We wanted to watch a flick and enjoy the night together without the kids, couldnt to say the least. The noise outside our door was just mood killing. We decided to watch some TV and just go to sleep.To make matters worse, the BED, omg the bed. This bed was sooooo uncomfortable that the wife and i were awake half the time trying to find a spotThat same night, since we were so uncomfortable, we looked for another place to stay, for at at least the next night. We were out of luck. NOTHING was available.Saturday night was the same with the bed, but we were sooo beat from having a great time out and about, once we fell asleep we were out, only to wake up with the lumpy bed in the middle of the night and try to get comfortable all over again.I apologize for the long post, but after paying 700$ for a room for two nights, not even with a fridge or coffee maker, i really dont think this was worth it. I cant help to think that this was purposely done as other guests were still checking in when were were returning from our outing Friday evening. Not once did the hotel reach out and ask about accommodations to assign a room, so how is one to take this?
Pros:Superb customer service.Modern bedroomComfortable bedsClose to the city centerGreat restaurantComplimentary wineGreat ACCons:Bathrooms / showers are old and desperately need an upgrade. Shower curtains smelled and it had an old bathroom type of vibe.Flat pillowsSubpar complimentary breakfast that only included a couple danishes.
The staff is was very friendly, nice, pleasant. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The entire inside smelled so good. The bathroom in the rooms were clean. The decorations throughout was really pretty.I was there on a family vakay but I highly recommend it to anyone especially couples who want some quite time.
Small but unique and comfy. Within walking distance of everything. Weekends are crowded in town and parking is difficult. Hotel was a nice refuge and home base.
Beautiful, very clean, excellent food! Worth the price. We stayed in the Suite. The only thing I recommend is a mirror outside and extra trash cans near the beds. The only mirror is inside the bathroom and it was difficult to get ready. Very nice staff.
The hotel itself is very nice and the woman at the front desk was helpful when we called for suggestions. When we checked in though, we werent told that our room had a non working fire place that we wanted to use. We were also given no information about the hours of the breakfast in the morning so we missed it. We were also told that when we checked in we would be given suggestions of things to see in town and that was never given. Overall, we understood it was a busy holiday weekend and they were overworked. The room and hotel itself was beautiful plus the little touches were very nice. I would stay again but make sure that I sat down with the person checking me in to make sure I got all the info I wanted.
Stayed overnight for a get away trip with my wife. The room was very cozy, and well maintained. The heating for the room could us an update, as the there is no temp setting available, you either turn on or off depending on how you feel. The staff was very helpful and nice, will definitely stay here again.
Came.here for a nice dinner while in Solvang. This place is just amazing. Great wine selection and the food is fabulous. The duck wings along with the fried kimchi will not disappoint. We had duck for dinner as well. We would highly recommend the restaurant. We will be coming back and will also look to stay at the Inn.
Mirabelle came highly recommended by one of the locals as the best in Solvang. Our fantasy football draft was in the area, and with most of us being foodies, I went ahead and made reservations for all 14 of us. The owners contacted me, both of them very nice and accommodating, and worked with me to make it a great night. And it was! The food was fantastic...interesting, well-presented, and very tasty. The wine was great and the 70-something port was a real treat. Most of all though, the personal attention by the owners and great service, made for a memorable and special night. Highly recommended!
At first glance I was a little leery due to the location being so small from outer appearance. Once I entered the lobby I exhaled!😍 The staff were super chill, conversation flowed seamlessly! The entire stay was exquisite! Dinner at First&Oak (2019 Michelin Plate)
Cute, Charming clean boutique hotel. Rooms are a nice size, fresh white linens, fireplaces in the rooms have a cozy feel with antique furniture. The complimentary bottle of wine was Devine with cookies and Italian water. Enjoyed my stay
The Inn was absolutely charming, and the staff was so professional and friendly. They greeted us by name each time they saw us and gave great recommendations for things to do in town. The breakfast was also delicious! Our favorite was the avocado toast! I highly recommend the Mirabelle Inn!
This is an excellent place to stay while in Solvang. Centrally located and easy walk to all the shops and bakeries. Clean, quiet, and charming. Front desk staff friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this establishment and will stay there again in a heartbeat.
We had room 5, the room was gorgeous. Firm King bed, flat screen TV and large jaccuzzi bath tub. Staff was very friendly and offered us a complementary bottle of wine, water, and wine tasting at a local winery. The location of the hotel was right in the heart of solvang.
[Spent 2 nights and had dinner Sunday night. Ive split up the review accordingly.]B&B side: Room is... very old school, but amenities are all there. Bed was nice, though again, old school. Felt like Id slipped through some kind of portal to Stars Hollow. Staff were exceptional, with easy check in and friendly service across the board. Breakfast was pretty good, though its tight quarters, but you cant argue with $5 mimosas. Overall, room was nice, and I had a nice stay. As for dinner...Restaurant: Dinner was great. Romantic, cozy dining room, with excellent, personal service. Dinner service didnt feel at all rushed. Menu is small, but has something for everyone, from steaks to seafood, to vegetarian options. Everything we had, from the salad to dessert, was great. Now, if you dont drink, Im so sorry. The wine list is phenomenal. Everything from stellar $35 bottles to some really special $250 selections. Somm will point you to something good, and you dont have to break the bank (unless you want to...). The $20 corkage isnt crazy, considering the level of service, and they stock quite a bit of local wine. Mirabelle also carries some great ports, worth a chat with the somm even if you arent a huge port fan.Worth a stay, but the restaurant is amazing. If you have to choose between dinner and a room... Solvang has some pretty nice park benches.
Wonderful spot. The staff was lovely and helpful. Included Breakfast was perfect. We had a little balcony that was perfect for enjoying outside with a late night snack and the complementary wine!
Live this place!! So cute & personal!! My mom & I come here every year for our traditional mother daughter trip!! They are so nice & the breakfast are great!! Theres also always cookies at the front desk so super plus!!
This inn was amazing! My husband and I chose to stay here for our last romantic getaway, before he passed away from cancer. The wonderful staff went out of their way to make sure we were well taken care!Now that some time has gone by since his passing, I cant wait to go back and visit the memories. Its a weekend I will cherish for the rest of my life.Thank you so much Mirabella... Ill see you soon.
We only hit the restaurant First Oak and it was amazing. Smaller menu and smaller portions but the food is unbelievable. A must if your in Solvang.
Positive: Outstanding staff, excellent location, quaint room. Negative: The room could use a little updating.
The restaurant at Mirabelle called first and oak was one of the best restaurant experience s Ive had in awhile. We fine dine and go out pretty often and a lot of times we found little wow factor especially at the price points at some of these restaurants. First and oak however wowd us with each dish they presented and Im dreaming of their risotto right now. Even better than the ones weve had in Italy.
First & Oak restaurant inside the Mirabelle Inn hosted their first of what I hope many, High Tea. It was just lovely, they gave you a wonderful assortment of teas from Far West Tea, and a really delightful array of goodies. There wasnt anything traditional in the finger foods, except the scones and Lemon curd. Everything else had what you would expect from the Chef at First & Oak. A seared ahi tuna over a kimchi crackle, a short rib and fennel sandwich, the desserts were so good, mini cheesecake, mini chocolate tartlets, Macarons etc. It was really lovely, I took my Mother in Law and it was the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon...
The small restaurant inside the inn is cute. Food ok, but more than 2 hours for the dinner. Make clear the additional and seasonal price.They charges $ 75 season price for caviar plus$65 for 4 course dinner.
First & Oak was incredible! The food was gorgeous, delicious, creative, and inspiring from the first bite to last. Our server, April, was professional and delightful!Thanks for a wonderful experience!
My girlfriend and I love this place. Rooms are gorgeous, comfortable and staff is so friendly, oh and the breakfast was amazing. We will always come back again and again!
Great little inn within walking distance of Solvang and an excellent restaurant in the lobby that is Michelin rated.
Within easy walking distance to everything Solvang has to offer. Good rooms, great restaurant with outstanding food and wine selection, however the breakfast food and service was dissapointing in comparison.
This is a hidden gem. Stay here for the weekend. Nice and cozy room with fireplace.Restaurant in the Inn great dinner.
Adorable inn with great service. A wonderful breakfast is included, as well as a bottle of wine and a complimentary wine tasting. Would definitely recommend staying at the Mirabelle Inn.
Employees are very well groom, very courteous. Very clean well maintained palce. Charming room and definitely a cute place. We definitely recommend this place and we will back to stay here again.
Went to restaurant First and Oak. Was looking for a place to eat. Their menu is a tasting menu so everyone shared. Spent more than expected. Best dish was pork belly.
Very cozy inn, nice clean cute rooms. Great breakfast. Complimentary wine and water in room. Highly recommend 👍
I have been looking for a really nice hotel for my partner and I to go to, but unfortunately the poor customer service, the room downstairs next to the kitchen, the poor refurbishments have put me off, I hope that you can work on all those areas, let me keep looking!!!!
Had dinner at First and Oak, and everything was amazing. Every dish is unique, innovative and delicious, the service is great, and the setting is beautiful.
Staff was very friendly. Room was personal and quaint. Right in the middle of everything in town. Love this place! Definitely will go back.
Beautiful hotel. Very quaint and lovely. Clean. Comfortable. With a touch of fancy. Would return and would recommend highly!
Wow beautiful rooms ....Breakfast is so good,servi se is great ..We feel so much comfort and convenience to walk down town. .I will say this hotel is made of so much love and care....I will recommended to anyone...
We love staying at the Mirabelle In. Its beautiful and cozy. Bed is comfortable, and breakfast is made-to-order.
Stayed over the weekend. We did book last minute so we got a room on the third floor. The room was small and could hear other people walking and talking from above our room. Make sure you book ahead!
Amazing service, amazing rooms, amazing town. There is also a Michelin star restaurant in the first floor.
Everything was very nice. The room was clean and very well put together. Parking was near by and not a problem.
Helpful courteous staff, beautiful quiet room, super comfy bed. Looking forward to staying again next time Im in town.
Everything was nice, just the bed was not comfortable. To lumpy, and one side was sliding downwards.
Very comfy rooms and a wonderful breakfast. Walking distance to all the best in Solvang.
The food was good but way overpriced they gave me a cracker with some tuna on it for $65 a little outrageous probably never go back here again
The food was good. See my review on the First and Oak page for more detailed thoughts.
A beautiful room . The entire building is fresh and new and built to high standards. Classy.
This place is consistently one of the best in town. The food at the restaurant is fantastic, and the staff are always so nice.
Amazing boutique hotel, super cute and cozy. Restaurant down stairs is amazing, highly recommended.

2023-07-15 23:59:59Positive: We loved the building and the room. This is a great place to stay. Very near downtown Solveg. We loved our stay. Solvag is like a real Disney Land in that there are a lot of beautiful shops and restaurants everywhere. There was even a concert going on Negative: No. Everything was wonderful. The staff was great also.

2023-09-04 22:46:13The hotel has a bed and breakfast vibe, and our room was large but cozy. Great location! It’s on a quiet street but still close enough to walk to restaurants, shops and most Solvang tourist sites.

2023-04-15 14:09:23Large, clean, comfortable rooms.The rooms are kind of spartan. Fireplaces. Nice amenities. Parking behind the hotel. The public areas are attractive and the people working here are very nice. A Michelin rated restaurant is in the hotel.
Review №9
2023-04-15 19:00:32Hotel is located in a very quiet neighborhood with ample parking available on street or back lot.Be advised above all else the acoustics in this hotel will keep you up!Staying on the upper floor one could hear every conversation the front desk was having with patrons and staff quite literally word for word. Add the noise from the restaurant during service then once again during clean up at shifts end.If you plan on being out it wouldnt be an issue except Solvang is the clear definition of a Sundown town.Staff is very curt as other reviews have stated before mine and it couldnt hurt being more hospitable gentlemen.Hope its something management considers going forward.Bring your phones wall plug being the room has no Usb charge ports or cell friendly outlets.

2023-01-23 14:40:32I was excited when reading the reviews that wine was complimentary; however, it no longer is and costs $28 now. Cute bed and breakfast style place. Room was comfy with fireplace. Staff was wonderful. Walking distance to everything fun!
