My husband and I went to San Diego to meet some friends who live there and to participate in the 2009 Mud Run at Camp Pendleton. I saw all the great reviews of Hotel Solamar on TripAdvisor, so I checked into room rates on various websites, including the hotel's website. The hotel's website had the most expensive room rate and... more

We stayed 2 nights at the Solamar. I booked 2 rooms, one for us and one for my in-laws. When we arrived at the hotel we very impressed w/the look and feel of it. We arrived prior to 3:00 check-in but the staff stored our luggage and indicated our rooms should be ready in an hour. No problem as we... more

As a regular guest at the Solamar I am sad to say, that guest service seems to be slipping. I am a Kimpton In-Touch Program member and the hotel is well aware of my room preferences ( I stay here monthly). This trip, my status as an In-Touch member as wells as my room preferences were completely disregarded. I was... more

They say 3rd time's a charm, i dont think my 2nd stay this past weekend can be topped, but who knows! Very appreciative of the Manager Wendi, who was able to accomodate me for a consecutive night stay. Originally I was slated for a friday and sunday night since saturday was not available, but Wendi was able to work her... more

Travelled around California for two weeks and without doubt the best hotel we stayed in both in terms of service and quality. We were upgraded to the spa suite which was fantastic with great features and with a real eye for detail. We had one of our best meals of the trip at J6 where the service was great. We... more

Thankfully the Hotel Solamar was able to accommodate my early check-in (at 6:30am!), and upon entering the room, I noticed that these hotel rooms were unlike any other that I have seen. Very modern decor, complete with both zebra and leopard print robes, and spacious room. Because I was in town on business, I actually had to use the supplied... more

The room was elegant yet cozy; sheets and bed unbelievably high end and comfortable; great views; great atitude; great EVERYTHING! I would absolutely stay here again! --My only (very minor) criticism is no coffee pot in the room, which is nice for business travelers. However, there is coffee downstairs --and wine in the evenings. Place is beautiful, upscale, affordable and... more

Hubby and I stayed here to celebrate our anniversary, we loved it! Great corner room with views of downtown! Loved the fuji tub!!! Comfortable, great service and very friendly staff! Would absolutely stay there again! more

I live here in San Diego but find many recurring reason to be downtown in the gaslamp, the General Manager is outstanding, Rolly is suberb, and the front desk staff and the valet are amazing...I have been a recurring guest of this property over the past 3 years and just cant say enough about it...While I do belong to bigger... more
