The pool, which gets all the hype, is neat. Very lounge like with big screen TV's and nice ambience....but the rest of the hotel needs a serious upgrade in management. I honestly can't say I have ever seen dirty carpet to this extreme in any hotel. Large dust bunnies in the recessed areas at the entrance of most doorways, less... more

We are truly sorry that your stay at the Solamar didn't meet your expectations. The pool area (Lounge Six) went through a spring 2009 refresh so we are glad you enjoyed that area. The Hallway carpets a scheduled to be refreshed early in 2010 which should make us sparkle again as we continue to invest in our dynamic hotel. Thanks...

After lots of research, we stayed at Hotel Solamar and loved it. The hotel is in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter and within walking distance to all the restaurants, Petco Stadium, the convention center, etc. It is very elegant and contemporary. The rooms were very roomy and well equipped. It was very child friendly. The staff was extremely pleasant.... more

Fantastic!!!

My husband and I stayed here for 8 days at the end of September and it's difficult to find fault with this hotel so we can't wait to go back and stay there again. It's clean, the staff are friendly and informative - knowing just the restaurant for whatever you fancied to eat, it's perfectly located for walking to the... more

We stayed here after reading reviews on Tripadvisor. And we are glad we did. The hotel was ideally located as my husband was attending a convention at the Convention centre. It was only about a 5 minute walk to here. The Gaslamp restaurant precinct was only 2 minutes away and the most recommended restaurants were only a short walk from... more

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Solemar 30 August for 5 nights. This was our first visit to San Diego and cannot wait to return to this hotel. The hotel is faultless. It is spotlessly clean, the staff in all areas are exceptional, the rooms were beautiful, the beds are very comfortable and we had plenty of storage space... more

I was very happy with the quality of this hotel, from reception to to the bedroom all decor was high quality, well kept and done in a playful modern beach style. Cleanliness was impeccable, up with a 5 star hotel. Expect to pay many tips in a hotel with constant service, and don't be surprised at the price of parking,... more

For a last minute "Girls Extended Long Weekend" trip to San Diego, what a wonderful surprise it was to be awarded with Hotel Solamar via Hotwire.com! At under $100 per night, Hotel Solamar was a fantastic deal! Its location in the Gaslamp Quarter is excellent - easy access to transit (ie: MTS city bus, MTS trolley, taxis) and lots of... more

I had booked this hotel through Hotwire for 79.00 a night. My husband is in the military and had just come back from Iraq. While he was gone, Our 20th Anniversary and both our birthdays had passed. So we thought it would be nice to celebrate everything the day of his return. The staff at check in was simply amazing,... more

After a disappointing stay at the La Costa resort, we didn't have high hopes for this hotel as I think it is ranked as a 3* whereas La Costa was 5*, however, it did NOT disappoint! The staff were friendly and helpful without seeming fake or pretentious and the afternoon wine hour was a lovely little extra! They made sure... more
