My husband and I stayed at this hotel to celebrate his birthday along with our anniversary. The place was perfect. Very clean, very modern, great location, wonderful service, cool/young vibe. The rooms were very clean with a nice hip decor. Our window looked over to Petco Park, and we even walked over and watched the team practice on opening day.... more

I stayed here for business recently and the experience was almost 100% positive. The registration clerk was unfriendly, but willingly gave me a room that did not overlook the pool (I had heard about the noise). The rooms are very nice and modern, with nice bathroom fixtures too. I had dinner alone at the restaurant (I think it is called... more

Had a great time at the Hotel Solamar this past Memorial Day weekend. Stayed with a big group of friends and had a blast!! Trendy interior...Nicely appointed rooms. Great service at front desk and concierge. Stayed on the 4th floor..same level as the pool. Very social, fun place to hang out at hotel pool bar/cabana. Was also in a great... more

I stayed here for 3 nights for a conference and I really loved the nice decor room. I love the free wi-fi and the amenities were great (L'Occtiane). The front staff were hit and miss. Some are friendly but some are snobbish. My room was at 9th floor, and the week I stayed it was pretty chilly/cold, so the notorious... more

We were treated so well from the time we arrived, to the time we checked out. Our rooms were beautiful and very clean, ,just like any other Kimpton hotel. The only problem that I experienced was the jets in my jacuzzi were broken. Someone came up to fix them during the day, and left a card that they were fixed,... more

Me and my girlfriend stayed at this hotel the night of May 25. The hotel looked really nice from the moment we walked in. We were given a room on the 8th floor overlooking the pool on the 4th floor. The room was nice, clean and everything looked fine. We spent a few hours down at the pool/bar area. It... more

We had a wonderful stay at the Solamar. This hotel is perfectly located; within walking distance to Horton Place (shopping mall), several galleries and shops and so many great restaurants. The rooms are modern, spacious and very comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. The pool area is gorgeous and luxurious. I highly recommend poolside drinks and lunch. The hotel... more

We stayed at this hotel for our anniversary weekend. We are Kimpton members, and were upgraded to a corner jacuzzi room by the cheerful check-in clerk. Our room was spotless, and had a nice view of Petco Park. The wine service from 5-6 is a nice touch. We even took our glasses to our room while we got ready for... more

This is a nice, upscale hotel, but do not stay here if you want a good night sleep. The pool area and bar, located on the 4th floor, is surrounded by many rooms in the hotel. The pool area is a party area all day and night, until 1 am. It's a great place for 20 - 30 year olds... more
