Hotel Solaire Los Angeles - Los Angeles

is this another example of tinseltown's liberties with the truth? the website looks nice and says all the right things - but then when you arrive you see this 'eco-hotel' is on a terrible block of a blown-out hood, an old 60s concrete bunker of a motel with a fresh coat of paint. mine was a lugubrious room with a shuttered window on the staircase. buyer […] beware.

OK I guess. The room was small. The continental breakfast seating area was to small. There was no hot tub in the swimming pool area. The normal price of the room is way to much for what they have to offer. But ok otherwise.

I booked three rooms for three nights for family members during USC graduation weekend. Hotel staff were welcoming, rooms, common areas, lobby were very clean and proximity to downtown LA and USC made getting to and from events very convenient by cab or rental car. Surrounding neigborhood okay but there is a lack of resturants within walking distance […] so the continental breakfast provided by the hotel each morning was greatly appreciated. Very good value for the rate. I will definitely stay there again. Read more

The hotel itself was a bit of a letdown; hallways looked dingy and the floor in my room wasn't very clean. The was neighborhood was loud enough that I had to use earplugs to sleep through the night. But my bed was very comfortable and it's in a very convenient location for downtown LA.

Great hotel, friendly staff. But the internet wasn't working well-enough to get work done during a conference. It was a problem the entire time I stayed.

Hotel Solaire is in a horrible part of LA. My friend and I were worried about our safety. Seriously. There was trash and homeless people everywhere. Room was not well insulated so we heard every door slam, the elevator and suitcases rolling by all night long. The bathroom was so gross I showered with flip-flops on. The fan sounded like a jet engine […] but hardly worked to clear steam from the bathroom. Oh! And I saw a roach when I turned on the bathroom light to boot! Would I return? NEVER!!! Read more

Great price. Sketchy location. Very little parking. Old, smelly rooms. I booked a three night stay at the hotel. When we checked in and went to our room we were immediately overwhelmed by the old cigarette smoke that lingered. The hotel claims to be non smoking but the former smoking rooms have not been properly cleaned to remove the remnants of their […] past. We immediately checked out and went one block over to a much nicer Holiday Inn Express. Read more

front desk staff friendly. breakfast sufficient. room okay; renovated except for old bathroom; sheets clean and decent; scratchy towels. noisy window a/c. $2 overnight parking cheap. hallways and stairwells smelled like smoke. pretty rugged neighborhood. sort of a bargain place if you are just passing through.

First, the cons: 1) This place is two blocks from McArthur Park. You're right downtown and all that goes with it. There are certainly worse places to be in L.A., but there are better. 2) It's obviously an old motel that's been given a bit of a facelift. The PROS: 1) Incredibly comfortable bed. 2) Great staff. 3) CLEAN! 4) A great value for money. If […] you're just looking for a place to put your head, you could do a lot worse. The beds were way better than average and the amenities were good. Overall, much better than I had a right to expect at that rate. Read more

decent hotel trying hard in bad location - definitely not for single women

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very nice hotel close to downtown LA places. Only a few restaurants in the area of the hotel but can get to downtown by walking about a mile. Area is safe. We have stayed here more than 10 times and think it is the best place to stay, wonderful staff.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

stayed here before clean good service. However , this time a big disappointsed. Problems discussed with management. I will consider staying again based on response from management.

Very nice

Clean and quiet considering location. can walk to restaurants. Good place for price.

Best deal that is so close to downtown.. Can't really walk around outside hotel lot but its very close to staples and l.a live

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

not what it was advertised, not pleasant at all, would not recommend for travel stay choose a better hotel . just unpleasant all arount

Genuine Expedia guest review

Not bad for a short visit to LA. Service was good & staff was friendly. Bed was comfy! However the showers did not stay warm for very long & the surrounding area was pretty sketchy. Also bring your own drinking water. None of the vending machines for drinks worked & they did not provide drinking water in the rooms.

internet was not working properly had to buy hours from Xfinity.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was an unexpected delight of a find. Great location only minutes walk from downtown or from the metro station for those less inclined to walk. Breakfast included in the price which was a welcome surprise. Room was clean, bed comfortable and access to outdoor heated pool a treat. I would challenge anyone to find a better bargain than this hidden […] gem. Read more

front desk staff was friendly, but otherwise this place was lousy. a/c unit was broken, but even if it worked, it's the kind that's either always-on or always-off - not temperature-controlled. bed was soft, but made me itchy - no bedbugs, but... something. housekeeping was inconsistent - sometimes they cleaned well, sometimes not. i stayed for quite […] awhile (in town for a business project), and some days they still wouldn't have cleaned my room by the time i returned from work at 5p. on my one day off, i wanted to enjoy the pool; but it gets direct sunlight only in one small corner for about an hour early in the morning.. too cold to enjoy. neighborhood is somewhat rough, too. i heard gunshots one night, and then a helicopter with bright lights was circling a building down the street. won't stay here again...

the hotel is pretty much what I expected the only thing I could really complain about was the free breakfast in the morning there's only about 15 seats in a small room for everybody to try to eat at. the hotel easily holds over 200.

We stayed at Hotel Solaire during President's weekend for a quick family getaway. When we checked in, the front desk was very friendly and provided us the specific conjoining rooms we had requested and let us know of the complimentary breakfast, wifi code, and parking info. The room itself was nice and clean however the shower in our room did not drain […] very well. I notified the front desk the next day and literally 5 minutes later, the maintenance men were in the room to fix the problem with housekeeping coming in afterwards to clean up. EXCELLENT staff!! Overall our visit was very pleasant! Read more

I thought it was great. Cheap to stay, only $2 to park overnight. The neighborhood was a little dodge, but I just needed a clean affordable place to sleep, so it was just the ticket.

My room was comfortable enough but I didn't feal the hotel was as advertised. The location was further from downtown than I realized. Internet did not work. The "going green" seemed to be just for show.

I took a trip with a friend from college to visit California for the first time. We booked hotels in several different cities, and were very cautious about areas we stayed in. As I was approaching this hotel, I knew in my stomach it was not going to be ok. We pulled in, looked around, and pulled right back out. We didn't end up staying at the hotel, […] and decided to stay elsewhere. If you are comfortable staying in a not so decent part of town, this hotel is great, otherwise I would consider other areas.

Too far from Downtown. Took a walk and was told by a police officer it was a Dangerous area.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel has a good location, but the surrounding neighborhood appears to be not so good, so I would recommend only if are with a car. The hotel has smoking and non-smoking rooms, free wifi and paid parking (I paid 2 dollars per night for the parking). The hotel needs some room and building improvement (specially the shower water!), but in the overall, […] its a good place if you are on budget and wants to be in the downtown. Read more

It was ok for a last minute reservation on new years eve. The hotel is conveniently located to downtown. Though you still have to drive or get a cab if you are going to get around. The front desk person was pleasant. Parking was full and we had to park on the street toward the evening.

Good thing: There is a refrige and a microoven. Bad: big noise created by the heater.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The location was great! A block away from downtown. The reason why the ok rating is because I requested a non smoking room and the room smelled like cigarettes! ! I thought the hotel could use some updates to the room as well. The complimentary breakfast was great! Other than the cigarette smell of the room, I would say that overall my stay was pretty […] good. Read more

The staff is really nice and friendly, unfortunately the rooms are old and out dated. The neighborhood isnt very nice, but have many convienent shops and stores near by. Hotel isnt far from downtown.

the hotel was great. the area was not the best but it was really not bad. the hotel was clean, staff was great. the upgraded our room from regular to balcony,.no.extra charge. nice touch

Genuine Expedia guest review

Noisy place in an unsafe area of the city. Far from DT. Blood on the bed sheets. Old cheap towels. They don't change linen everyday

Genuine Expedia guest review

driving up to it, we were a little worried, the neighborhood leading to the hotel seemed a little rundown, but once the hotel came into view, we were relieved. The hotel is very nicely upkept and more recently renovated than the surrounding building. rooms were clean and bed was very comfortable. staff did a great job too.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Check in was a nightmare. I got 3 different hotel keys and the first 2 were to rooms that were already taken by previous guests that were in line ahead of me. I walked into some guests the 2nd time I tried and was furious by the 3rd. The hotel desk guy was very apologetic nonetheless and since I happen to be a nice person I didn't gripe about it. The […] hotel room itself is very quaint and is very close to the metro station which was nice. For a one night stay it was a perfect place to lodge and the fact that there were refrigerators and microwaves in every room made it a plus. Read more

The room had stains on the carpet and the water pressure was non-existent. The upside was the bed and linens, comfortable and soft.
