This August was our first trip to San Diego so we picked this hotel and it was just fantastic. Took in a Padres game so it was a short walk to the stadium and back. Enjoyed drinks on the roof with the fire pots going that night. As it was my birthday, the whole setting was just right. We're New... more

The Hotel Solamar was great place to stay for my quick visit to San Diego. We booked a regular king room, but were given a corner king room, which gave us a view of Petco park and the fireworks after the game. The hotel is very close to restaurants and shops in the downtown area and is also close to... more

Hotel Solamar is a fashionable hotel on 6th Avenue. Rooms are tastefully decorated (trendy). The Hotel has a bar on the 4th floor, next to the (small) pool. The bar at the pool is quite popular, and music is being played during the weekends. I did stay in a room on the 4th floor but I could not really hear... more

We booked a last minute stay at the Solamar for our anniversary on a Monday night. The hotel was well decorated and was just as we expected. They sent a bottle of champagne up for our special night and we enjoyed the pool, wine, and coffee in the morning. We stayed on the pool level and it was really quiet... more

Booked a three night stay from Sunday to Wednesday in July 2008. Overall, it was a good stay. Location can't be beat. It's within three blocks of the Convention Centre, the orange line of the trolley system, and Petco Park. The major restaurants of Gaslamp are within 2 blocks. It's also only a $10 taxi ride from the airport and... more

My wife and I stayed here for a week and had a very good experience. Based on some of the other reviews about the noise level at the pool, we requested a "quiet room" and were placed on the top floor(10th) on the opposite side of the building. We spent several days and evenings at the pool but avoided the... more

My wife and i booked our stay here through hotwire at a great price (well, i think so) of $139 per night. I had already been warned by previous reviews about the parking costs and as expected it was $32 (plus tips) to park here. Therefore, i completely ignored the car park and parked at the enclosed multi story car... more

Hotel Solamar is located in the Party district of San Diego (Gas Lamp district). The Hotel is very clean and the staff and service there are excellent. The rooms are nice but a tad small. There is not much drawer or closet space for your clothes especially if there is more than 2 people staying in one room. The beds... more

This lovely hotel is destroyed by the most bizarre pool scene I have ever come across in all my years of travelling. Im in my early 30's and my girlfriend in her late twenties and we found it way too much. At the weekend they bring in a local DJ from about 11am who plays unbelievably loud dance music right... more
