The hotel is in a great location, but that creates the first and most notable drawbacks of our stay. First, as we pulled in the driveway, we see that it costs $40 a day to park your car. This would have been nice to know while booking, but it's nowhere on the booking portion of the site despite the front... More

Gaslamp Quarter location is ideal; not far from Petco Park and the harbor. My room (1026) was comfortable, quiet, with quirky decor and decent (though not spectacular) view. As a newly joined Kimpton rewards member, the lights were on in my room when I arrived, along with a personal note from the manager and a coupon for $10 off anything... More

I'm quite particular concerning hotels but was not at all disappointed at Hotel Solamar. The bed was wonderful, room was perfect, the TV was bigger than some and the dinner we ordered from room service was great. The morning coffee in the lobby is a nice touch. Great location for walking but parking is $40 per night. More

Quiet hotel in the middle of town. Good clean rooms, nice bar, lobby and swimming pool. Great breakfast. Not far from places of tourist interest. More

Well located for the Gaslamp District, the hotel had decent sized and quiet rooms at good prices. Staff very helpful but valet parking expensive; save 35% by parking in the lot directly opposite the hotel More

Want to know how I know this? Our room was facing Bub's and apparently over top some dumpsters that were emptied very early in the morning. We were unable to use the pool for a night because it was booked for a private party. As a guest coming from Anchorage, not being able to use the pool was a big... More

We have stayed in many of the Hotels in downtown San Diego over the years, from the Hyatt, Marriott, Westin, Envy, Hilton, etc. This by far was the worst experience so far of any of our stays. We have received better customer service at a Holiday Inn express off the Freeway in Madera, Ca then we have here. This was... More

Stayed here for 2nights business travel. Good location, nice rooms. Major downside was the fitness center was under renovation and in a temporary location with one lamp for the whole room. So at 6am, it was so dark that you couldn't read and there were no tvs. Hopefully this is a temporary situation. I had a rental car for work... More

I stayed here in December. The hotel was nice enough, I guess. Looking at other people's reviews is making me think that I should have paid for an upgraded room and maybe I would have had more of a luxury experience. As it was, I didn't think that I got a really good value for the cost of staying there.... More
