10/10 Exceptional

Good & affordable

Hotel Solaris is very affordable and close to the boardwalk, but not too close where there’s tons of traffic. The room is easy accessible and the parking is easy unless it’s a weekend and then it gets full pretty fast.
Damian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay and great price

The hotel was great. It has been tastefully remodeled and we really enjoyed our stay. It was convenient and walking distance to the Boardwalk and many restaurants. Check in and check out was a breeze. We will absolutely stay there again.

Friendly people loved the bar

I loved the fact that they have a bar so we went out at night and didn’t have to drive the staff wa super friendly and I felt like home. Loved it there . I would definitely go again
Luz, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Decent

Not great, but not awful. First of all, the guy at the front desk does not make anyone feel very welcome. Zero personality. But whatever. The price of the place seems pretty good for the area and it's a good location. It's close to the boardwalk and a 15 minute walk to the hipper part of town. Some of the rooms, including ours, have a cool outdoor space. That was nice. The room itself was fine with a desk and a couple chairs. There were some strange things about it, like the fact that the toilet wasn't secured to the ground very well and there were multiple holes in the blankets. So, if that kind of stuff doesn't bother you, this place is OK.

2/10 Poor

I have not stayed at this motel in a number of years. It has gone downhill. First, they are pet friendly but they do charge $25. for family pet. I have a service animal and my friend has two dogs. One is a pet. I was helping my friend by paying the deposit for her room. I signed up the pet and paid the $25 fee. And the $150 deposit. Then signed up my service animal.

Family Trip

The hotel is nice just a little outdated but the room where we stayed was big enough for our family & it has a direct access to the pool area. I just wish they will clean & decorate the small garden like area outside the rooms going to the pool area. That would be a great lounge area &/or a picnic area. Hotel was close to the Boardwalk probably around 7-10 minutes walk. Pool is gated which is good but since they allow pets, some guests brought their dog inside the pool area which in my opinion should not have been allowed. Our family stayed for 3 days & 2 nights & on the morning of our check out my hubby was locked inside the bathroom. For some reason the lock on the knob won’t work so we had to let the front desk know & they immediately called the manager who came in right away with a handyman even if it was very early in the morning. He was very concerned & got the issue resolved right away. Thanks Sam we will surely recommend your hotel & will be back for sure!

I loved the outdoor patio outside of our room. The staff were friendly and made it easy to check in and out
Kathryn, 2-night trip

Disappointed

The room smelled smoky like Marijuana. There was no hot water. The bed had hair all over the sheets and pillows.

Need to keep the room up to date

The hotel location is great but the evening check-in guy needs to have welcome greeting smiling he just has straight up answer. We were given a room and it didn’t have any soap, shampoo or conditioner for shower; soap,container was missing, window has blinds missing if someone is changing clothes or sleeping people could pick from outside. We have kids and young daughter. We had to put a towel over it when I went to tell them they didn’t even change the room for us.
Blinds missing people can peek through your room
No shampoo no conditioner and the whole soap conditioner was missing
Looks like no one changed the sheet luckily I brought my own.

4/10 Fair

Felt unsafe due to large groups of people doing drigs drinking alcohol. Neighbors blasting clubbing music at 7am.
Alisom, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

We stayed because we had to attend a morning wedding the next day. We checked in left our luggage and left. After being in Santa Cruz boardwalk on Friday for the movie at the beach we returned around midnight to the hotel room. We wanted to shower but we had no hot water we ran it for 30 minutes then called the front desk who told us to run it for 10 more minutes. Still no hot water so I called the front desk and got no answer so I had to go to the front desk. Front desk stated another room had complained as well. He stated he was going to check the boiler. I went back to my room and minutes later he came knocking and verified we only had cold water. While he checked I sat on the bed and could feel the bed springs
