Pea Soup Andersen’s Inn

Scored a room last minute, was surprised at how nice it was for a good rate. Beds super comfy as well. Only complaint is how noisy guest were, I mean super loud in the pool. slamming doors, etc. I don’t think this is fault of the hotel in anyway. I would def stay there again! Also ladies yesterday at the front desk were super nice and helpful.

For the price very surprised. Recently remodeled. Nice rooms. Only issue walls a little thin if neighbors have no sense of an inside voice. Close to EATS and wineries. Nice pool and put put golf. We will be back.

One of the most well kept and clean places I’ve stayed. My family owns and manages lodges in Big Bear, and we know what it takes to have good customer service while having a clean and welcoming atmosphere. This place has it. Met the manager and he was helpful and nice well done!

All the rooms have a patio or balcony overlooking the pool. That’s what I look for in a room. Breakfast was coffee, juice, toast, danish and muffins. Miniature golf near pool. Nice pool and jacuzzi. Though not an Embassy Suites the room was clean and sufficient and the price was only $ 72 midweek.

Always saw the ads on the roads and was so excited to try the soup. Finally got a chance to visit Solvang and went to Andersen’s restaurant on the way for lunch. It is a split pea soup with a hint of mint! I did not quite appreciate the bitter/​minty taste of it. The philly stake sanwich was tasty yet greasy. Staff were friendly and relax.

We planned to go to Solvang to celebrate New Year. Solvang area was all booked so hubby decided to check out nearby areas. We found this place online, and is about 3 miles from Solvang. The place is decent — it has free internet, parking, and all the room amenities were there. We were supposed to be checked in a room with a pool view as how the reservation was made, but got the room facing the highway instead (which can get loud if the windows were open). We did not make a big deal out of it since they were busy assisting other customers too. They have free continental breakfast from 6 – 10 am at their small gazebo. (That’s coffee, milk, juice and danish pastries and muffins, and bananas for you). Was ok for an overnight stay — except for the smelly microwave (like burnt coffee) and the busted room ceiling light… Oh and they gave us a 10% off coupon for the Pea Soup Restaurant. great!

This place is a nice affordable spot if you plan on doing to Solvang or the surrounding areas. Therer customer service is superb as my daughter had a case of the runs. The staff assisted me to unlimited use of towels, cleaning products, and they also took the dirty clothes away. We needed assistamce and they came through. I do not know his name but it was a younger gentleman who made our life easier. The breakfast has delicious danishes I recommend the cheescake danish. The beds were comfy and the pillows were fluffy.

Road trip recommendation! Getting weary on 101 in central coast area? Just off the highway, super friendly, inexpensive, pool and hot tub. Coffee, fridge and microwave. Clean! Comfy! And split pea soup! Open til ten. Easy stop if you don’t have previous plans. Oh! And two beds for $ 71.00. Super friendly and easy check in. We felt welcome and appreciated right away.

Four stars for what it is (well, 3.5 but I’ll round up). Stayed here with a friend and it was totally fine for our purposes (basically, we were just in need of a convenient place to stay en route back north from Santa Barbara).
Many pros:
* Reasonably priced.
* Front desk is friendly and efficient.
* Rooms are clean.
* Beds are pretty comfortable.
* Easy freeway access.
* Decent continental breakfast in the AM.
* Outdoor games — kind of nice if you feel like getting a little exercise in the afternoon or evening.
* Discount coupon for the restaurant.
* You can park pretty conveniently to your room.
Cons:
* Where was the AC? Our room was hot and stuffy, and I wasn’t really into leaving the window of my first-​floor room open through the night.
* Gets kind of noisy. It is a popular place to stay, so expect a full house. And, every time our «neighbors» opened their door, it sounded like they were trying to bust into our room.
* Bathroom was very very small.
* Wifi kinda slow. Oh well. This would be a bigger deal if I were here on business, but because I wasn’t, it wasn’t that much of an issue.
In short, I’d stay here again, if I needed a similar accommodation as a travel stop.

Surprisingly good, the soup which we got in the bread bowl tastes like peas (go figure). Better than we expected though, with sort of a lentil taste to it.
Also got tri-​tip sand which which was ok, a little fatty and not the freshest fries.
Service was great though. Definitely worth coming by if your love peas, and the inside has sort of a Cracker Barrel type atmosphere.
Oops…I rated the hotel/​inn by accident, but the restaurant is right next door and is affiliated.

Super inexpensive hotel in the heart of Buellton. Room was spacious and clean. There are limited amenities in the room, and the sealed shower cap was wet? Yes, I wore a shower cap. I wanted to preserve my just did hair. The breakfast was horrible. Pastries and stale bread.

Came here for one night on birthday weekend. Our room was a corner one and yet it was really quiet (BFD to this Princess!)
The price was nothing obscene. The toiletries were meh but the mattresses were COMFY! And who travels without toiletries anyways? The A/​C worked just lovely. The room was clean (you could tell that housekeeping really takes pride in their work — hence the generous tip I left them.)
Very much a cute place to stay with your family (we saw a few there) and take in Santa Ynez winds. Also, in driving distance to Solvang and wine country (we went for the wine tasting nearby.)
Would definitely return!

Two stars indicates I am underwhelmed with Pea Soups Inn. Old and outdated the property needs help. The room is something out of the Hitchcock film Psycho. Paper thin walls subjects you to hearing other people’s business. Poor wifi throughout forced us to stay with 4G. AC is either ice cold or freezing. No shampoo in shower and thin old towels round out the experience. Somebody please provide some capital to the owners. It is not too late for this hotel. Oh, last but not least, the beds suck and the bedding might be original from the early 40’s.

We just needed a place to sleep for an overnite getaway and this fit the bill. Nothing fancy but clean and kinda quaint. It was nice to have a mini fridge handy and microwave if needed. We had a room with patio on the putting green, convenient to step out to grab the complimentary continental breakfast at the gazebo in the morning: coffee, juice, pastries and toasts with butter & jelly. Might be worthwhile to pay a little extra and take advantage of the special breakfast offering at the Pea Soup restaurant next door.
King bed was comfy although pillows are too soft for us. Note to thyself to being my own foam pillow. Free parking. Wifi also free, so can’t complain about the super slow wifi. The walls are pretty flimsy, so expect to hear your neighbors walking around above you if you’re on the ground floor.
Overall, we would consider returning if just need a place to rest our heads and shower for an overnite — but not longer.

We stayed here last night. Had a horrible meal at the restaurant but the hotel stay was alright. Room was about $ 90 after taxes etc. Pretty comfy and quiet. The wifi was whack! I had flashbacks of AOL dial up. The signal strength was great but it was slow as molasses. I wound up latching on to some other hotels wifi connection most of the night. Staff was semi friendly. Would I stay again? Maybe.

Comfortable motel in Buellton… not a «hotel» by any means (wasn’t there a tv show one time where a character said «you lose a ton of amenities when the «h» in hotel goes to «m» in motel lol) but this place provides a comfortable bed with a decent continental breakfast and a quiet place to catch some sleep.
Not much in Buellton except… we go there once a year on my birthday from Sacramento to go to one of the best restaurants ever The Hitching Post and we make an overnight stay out of it. Andersen’s is a good stop, the place is basically clean, comfortable, and quiet. The place was built in 1970 and looks like it but that’s ok.
Decent choice if you need a place to sleep in Buellton.

Perfectly fine motel in the Santa Barbara wine country. The motel has the usual dings and scratches that one would expect for its age, but everything was clean and the staff were welcoming.
Pros: heated, mid-​size pool; small bocce court and putting green; each room has a balcony or patio. Each room is a bit larger than expected. Tasty pastries each morning in the gazebo.
Cons: the in-​room wifi is maddeningly slow. Like AOL 1995 dial up slow. They lose a star for this.

I have stayed here a couple of times now and i love this place. It is clean, friendly cute and kitschy. The staff are incredibly nice and accommodating and the free continental breakfast is generous. Thanks again for a great stay!

Don’t ask why I am here. BUT seriously, housekeeping has been knocking on the door every 30 minutes since 8:30am. Not okay.
Also, we didn’t even have a garbage can in our room. Ummmmm???
I would never stay here unless out of necessity (or when you are drinking a lot of wine and it doesn’t matter where you sleep.)
The pea soup is not good. Yeck. But I did hear someone order the fried chicken with a side of fettuccine alfredo as her birthday meal. Could be an option.
Great billboards though.

**3.5 stars**
Basic, but comfortable place to stay in Buelton with an amazing location and a great value for the price.
The rooms at the Pea Soup Andersen’s Inn are utilitarian — it is a motel style layout without too many amenities (bring your own toiletries unless you don’t mind your shampoo /​conditioner /​soup all coming from the same box in the shower…) but it has everything you need. A TV with cable (great channels? no, but there’s a TV), Wifi (super slow, but hey it’s free), an in room fridge and microwave (our fridge wasn’t cold but I’m sure if we had complained they would have figured it out) and AC (super loud but hey, it works).
They do have a pool, putting green, and free continental breakfast in the gazebo, but we were either sleeping (okay, passed out) or wine tasting so we didn’t partake in any of the extras.
People say you «get what you pay for» but for the price of other hotels in the area, I actually think you get a little more. We usually stay at the much more expensive Santa Ynez Inn and spend so little time at the hotel that it doesn’t make sense; this time we got 2 nights for the price of less than 1 at the Santa Ynez. If you’re looking for a romantic experience or to impress someone the Pea Soup Andersen probably isn’t the place for you. But if you’re practical and have reasonable expectations of what you want for the price, I think you’ll be pleased!
