Hotel Solamar, a Kimpton Hotel - San Diego

This is an absolutely delightfull place to stay. My only complaint is the loud music from a venue across the street. But the room is so comfy you eventually forget about it. And the music turns off promptly at 2am. Otherwise, everything else is great! Will definitely return for another stay.

Great hotel and great place to stay. Only complaint was the air conditioning in the room was not properly working. But overall, a great place to stay,

Clean! Beds very comfortable. Right next to gas lamp district. Staff excellent. Great customer service. I am picky with my hotels, and I found it worthy of visiting again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great location. Loved the rooftop bar and the pet friendly policy.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Fantastic. Great service and great facility. Valet parking at the hotel and parking in the area is pricey ($40 per night) and that was a downer.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The wife and I loved this place, went to a Padre game, the hotel is only a block away from the park. We didn't want to leave. Will come back for sure.

Room had clogged sink and broken facet. I was unaware that they charged guest for parking. $40 a day. Because of that I will not be stayingg there again.

We only stayed here for one night but I wish we could've stayed longer. We were in town visiting friends/relatives and decided to go for a higher end hotel for one night (after staying in a fairly low-end one for most of the trip). We've stayed in a Kimpton hotel before and this was as great as te first trip. They have a wine happy hour from 5 to 6 […] and they are very generous with the wine. They're also in the Gaslamp district which features shopping and a plethora of great restaurants and bars. The hotel itself has a great bar and pool on the 4th floor. In short, the hotel is immaculate, the staff is very friendly (dog friendly too!) and a Kimpton Hotel is always a great time. Read more

It was great expect the $40 parking fee per night!

Very nice, hip hotel. Rooms are well appointed, with a really well stocked minibar. Bed was comfortable and room was very clean. Only minor gripe about the room is the bathroom sink, which is very shallow with a high faucet, which causes a lot of splash outside of the sink - but again minor. The pool area and bar is very nice, and when I was there it […] was busy. Great, friendly bartender pouring generous drinks. Would definitely return. Read more

terrific !!!!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Unhappy for the following reasons. The lighting was very poor in the bathrooms. There was a lack of storage and drawer space to put clothes away, room smaller than I thought it would be. On the other side, the service was good, people were friendly that worked at the hotel, room was clean and the hotel is in the heart of the city for all activities […] . Read more

Hotel Solamar is very nicely decorated and in a great location. There are small details that really add to the stay: a complimentary goldfish in your room, tea & coffee service in the morning, iced tea and lemonade in the afternoon. The staff is very nice and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again!

The good: Beautiful hotel...great service...comfortable rooms. My flight got me to SD around 10am and I went to the hotel really just looking for a wifi hotspot to work in until I was able to check in. The gentleman at the front desk said hey let me see if there's a room available...the was...and voila! The room was great...well appointed...comfy bed...nice […] minibar snacks...definitely a 4 to 5 star room. They've got a resturant downstairs (J six) great food. The staff was very friendly. I'm a fan of boutique hotels and this is surely one if not the best one that I've have the pleasure of staying in. The not so good: The first night we were in the side of the hotel that's near a night club. The beats of club music could be heard till around 1:30am. Had I been in the club I surely wouldn't have had this concern but since I was trying to get some shuteye that was kind of a downer. The good news is the next day they gladly moved us to a quieter room where I got a perfect nights sleep. So, there are lot of clubs in the gas lamp area and if clubbing is on the agenda this concern may well be a don't care..if on the other hand when you go to bed you want quiet then be sure to ask for a quiet room. I also thought the hotel parking was pretty expensive ($40 per night) and because of the popularity of the gas lamp area there aren't a lot of options so if you stay here you'll need to be prepared for this costs.

The hotel was nicely appointed and the room was clean. It caters to the all-night party crowd, which can also be heard outside in the neighborhood until 3 or 4 in the morning. Both nights we stayed there were two bachelor parties on our floor. Service was attentive but not very professional. If you're planning to stay up all night drinking, its a great […] place. If you hope to sleep, stay somewhere else. Read more

Hotel is close to fifth avenue and the convention center which are a must if traveling to San Diego on business. Also, hotel offers free wine from 5-6pm which is a nice way to relax after working during the day and another added bonus is that the Gaslamp Quarter is just like New Orleans were the city comes alive once the sun sets.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel was beautiful, staff was extremely friendly. Room was super cute. A very convenient location, easy walk to market street (gas lamp) and Petco park. Two complaints: 1) parking was really expensive. Although in their defense, most of downtown SD parking lots excessively priced. 2) we were in room 501, which has a street view...there is a restaurant/club […] across the street. Music can be heard until1:30am. I would assume that's where the discount comes from....if you are a party-person and will be out until the bars close anyway, you will not have an issue.....otherwise, a great hotel...would stay again.

Skipped out on that valet parking (got lucky). Off to a good start. Find out there's free wine from like 5-6 in the lobby. Off to a better start. Got corner room on top floor with nice views of city. Great start. CVS up a block for any necessities (including beer & wine), but the hotel also gives you stuff for free like toothpaste if you ask the front […] desk. Don't think there's a better place to stay for a gaslamp district night out. Cute dogs by the front desk. Might bring mine next time. Read more

Last time we stayed here the pool was great, the service at the pool bar was great! This time all the bartenders are jerks and a bunch of people are laying in the poolside lounge chairs that aren't even guests (I asked a lot of them). There has to be a better monitoring system for towels and lounge chairs. I know the business is big in day pool parties, […] but this is also the reason I won't be coming back Read more

The staff was terrific. The facilities were impeccable. I basically lived at the rooftop bar/pool for the extent of my stay. I would absolutely stay here again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Not only is the hotel located right in the Gaslamp Quarter and it is an easy walk around town and down to the harbor. The staff is very friendly and willing to do whatever it might be to make your stay a pleasant one.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I chose this hotel because it was one of the few that had 2 Queen beds rather than 2 Double beds. The hotel is really nice and the location is great, can't deny that. The beds are hard and uncomfortable. Parking is expensive. The worst part, for a family with 2 small kids, is the noise from the nightclubs. We were on the 9th floor and could hear the […] music until 2 am. Read more

This hotel has very thin walls. You hear your neighbors' music at 3am. You hear the stadium PA system at 8am. You hear the party at the pool all afternoon and evening. Otherwise, very nice hotel. Just go expecting a party, not peace and quite.

Well worth it! This hotel was at a higher price then we would normally pay but it sure delivered! Great location, great social scene on the 4th floor pool + bar, wine reception to kick start the evening, what a great stay. Definately would recommend this hotel for a romantic weekend getaway.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is well located. We had a small room with very small bath. The hotel is very dark and there are no views. We were over the pool and outdoor bar. It was noisy. The service was spotty. We were not offered help with our bags. The walls are thin and we heard neighbors on both sides at all hours. The value was not there given the price. We won't […] stay again Read more

The hotel was pretty nice..excellent location, room clean although a little small. The only downside was the cost of the parking..$40 for 1 day. If you are patient enough, they have street parking but you need to drive around a few times to occupy one, We went there on a Sunday before the President's day weekend and they had free wine at the lobby from […] 5pm til 6pm which is a plus for people who drank. The most memorable moment of the hotel was the excellent customer service we received from the staffs especially "Ericka", she was very helpful and so friendly. She even gave us a free bottle of wine for our anniversary!! Read more

This hotel was wonderful! My husband & I stayed here for our 6th Anniversary/Babymoon. The location was FANTASTIC a block away from 5th ave, a lively street w/ tons of bars & restaurants. We rented a car but got lucky & found street parking (overnight parking:$40/night) and just paid the meter until 6p. They have a great FREE WINE Happy Hour which we […] took full advantage of ea night. It is definitely a PARTY hotel though or for the 'youngins'. The 1st 2nights we were there we heard a lot of our neighbors drinking loudly/partying. We were young once so it didn't bother us to the point where we had to complain but it would've been nice to know ahead of time. ALSO- ask for a room in the wing away from Island Ave. because there's a rooftop club/bar, Stingaree, that blasts its music very loudly and so we were getting the noise from the hallway & the windows. Great amenities and we had FREE wi-fi! Would definitely stay there again! Read more

The quality of bedding, amenities, ambience, and cleanliness of the room and public areas made me rate this hotel very high. Additionally, the staff was amazingly friendly, remembered our name, and was most helpful in recommending nearby restaurants. The only constructive comment is that there was no coffee maker in the room, and the passageway between […] the foot of the bed and the desk was too narrow. Otherwise, it was a great hotel and I would certainly recommend it and return for another visit. Read more

It was peaceful and quiet. The staff was really nice. Housekeeping brought up towels in no time. The only concern was the shower head was squirting in all directions causing mist to go everywhere. This was a little bit of a nuissance, but not a deal breaker.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel by far was very courteous and put together nicely. The room was beautiful and the bathroom was the best. The only thing I would recommend is having some kind of body sponge to use for the provided body wash. There was no soap and we had forgotten our loofah and had to use our hands. Yes I am a bit spoiled...LOL! That was only mentioned in […] case you needed a thorough scrubbing. Parking is a bit expensive ($40) a night and there is a parking lot across the street that we didn't notice till we left in the morning. Everyone is very courteous and helpful. We will defintely come back! The best breakfast place if you are on a budget is the "Broken Yolk" across the street. Read more

I rarely leave any reviews but this hotel was perfect! The staff were professional, friendly, and always willing to help out. I was traveling with a baby and they were beyond helpful.

I will always stay here when […] I'm in San Diego in the future. Read more

We loved this hotel. It was right in the middle of all the action. The pool area was delightful and in the evenings after 9pm it became a very hip poolside bar.
