In this holiday issue of Riders of the Alisal, we say a farewell to our general manager, Dave Lautensack, who after more than two decades of dedicated service is looking forward to retirement. We are excited to welcome our new general manager, Kathleen Cochran, who is joining us with over 30 years of experience in the hospitality industry.
The Alisal's 20% service charge is intended to eliminate the need for our guests to tip individual employees, as well as cover the cost of a variety of amenities provided to our guests. These include two water canteens and a bottle of Alisal wine at check-in, daily newspapers, complimentary WiFi internet access, fitness center, complimentary shuttles to and from Solvang village center, nightly hors d'oeuvres in the Oak Room bar, complimentary bicycles, wine tasting with Alisal wine partners, scheduled and seasonal entertainment and a variety of children's activities including barnyard and Kid's arts and crafts room.
