Yes, guests at Royal Scandinavian Inn have highlighted that: Loved, loved the Corque Hotel! It had so much character, amenities, was reasonably priced, and in a great location.
The Building: The Corque Hotel is a nice looking building and entrance of brick and arched windows, with some Halloween decorations as we approached, including a tall pumpkin scarecrow that moved and talked. It is in a great location, near the downtown shops, bakeries, and restaurants.
The Lobby: Cute lobby with 2 containers of fruit-infused water and a 3rd container of regular ice water to quench your thirst at any time. They also have wine by the glass out of a dispensing machine in the lobby, which we didn’t try, but nice if you needed something to relax after a long drive there. The 2 story lobby has a chandelier made of clear wine glasses, bottles, & stoppers. There is a fireplace and seating to relax. The 2nd floor encircles the lobby, where you can look down, and has some leather chairs and tables in the arched windows where you might find a quiet space to read, watch the people walking by, wait for someone, or just unwind. The elevator requires a key pass, which is a nice security feature.
The Room: We had a very spacious room on the 2nd floor, with very comfortable beds. We had an ADA/handicap room (by request), so the beds were very low. We’d have preferred higher beds, but ADA rooms are going to accommodate different requirements. Our bathroom did not have a counter or vanity area; just a small wooden table next to the sink. This may likely be to accommodate someone in a wheelchair. We had a walk-in shower, which is helpful to anyone with bad knees or wheelchairs. There was only 1 small towel rack, but a few pegs on the wall in the bathroom. Not ideal for us, but, again, may likely be because it was an ADA room. The toilet was high, and there were bars on the wall in the bathroom, which was what was needed. We asked for 2 luggage racks, and they were able to provide them. There were 2 free water bottles in the room. We could hear some noise, but the a/c drowns out much of that. If you are very averse to noise, it may not suit you, but it was workable for us. The clock was set on a 24 hour time clock and was an hour off, but we had travel clocks with us. While no vanity counter, there were great mirrors in the room. The bathroom had a bright light around it, making it nice for getting ready, as well as a magnifying mirror for putting on make-up. The room had a large full-size mirror. There was not a reading light in the room. They have a Privacy button, instead of the doorknob hanging plaquard – very modern.
While there were a few things we would have liked a little differently (vanity counter, reading lights, etc.), overall the room was spacious, clean, comfortable, and had nice little extras that were appreciated. The hotel had a lot of charm, great design architecturally, and we loved our 1-night stay here! Many of the hotels in Solvang are smaller, often with no lobby desk support, and few amenities. The Corque had the extras that we enjoy!

“Very nice”
Stayed one night at the beginning of August 2024. It was expensive for one night (over $350), but I see you can get a room for like $125 in September. I thought it was worth the hefty price, so if you can get it for even $200 it’s worth it! - We got a room on the first floor close to the lobby. I … more

“Beautiful hotel but needs a few more touches for 5 star...”
Went to Solvang for a girls R&R trip and stayed at the Corque 2 nights/3 days. Very pretty lobby, loved the infused waters. Check-in was a breeze and the staff was very friendly. The room was lovely, however there is only 1 ice machine located on the 3rd floor. No options for in-house breakfast… more
