I love that it was only 10 mins walk from the boardwalk. Dogs are welcomed. Staff were nice and helpful. Rooms were clean. The upgrade price wasn’t that bad. Quiet place and area. Pool and hot tub were available. They should bring the breakfast back and have the coffee machine available 24/7 especially it’s always cold in santa cruz. We loved our stay and we recommend the hotel for sure!

Everything was fine, I wasn’t happy about check in. When I booked check in time was 3:00 pm I got a text from the hotel that I couldn’t check in untill 4:00 pm but I could get on a waiting list. I arrived early 12:30, asked about the list and was told if I pay 35.00$ I could check in at 1:00 pm. On check out Dayi left early. I got a text from Hotel Solares saying I could check out later at 1:00 pm for 40.00$. It felt like for a few dollars more………….

Dirty floor. Very noisy. I paid through Expedia and then was charged again by the hotel. They had asked for my credit card so they could put a $25 deposit in the event that there were any "incidentals" that needed to be paid for. There wasn't even any coffee in the room. I checked out before 8 am. Today not only did the $25 stay on my credit card. They also put another $150 charge on it. My $134 room has now cost me $309. I need some help with this disaster dump

The location is very good, near the boardwalk. Although they charge $10 for parking it's still better than parking at the boardwalk. one can walk for 10mins to save $$. The hotel staff was quite nice and friendly. The manger allowed us to keep our car in the premises even after our checkout which was great. overall, a good stay.

Stayed one night for a family event nearby. Our king bed dog room had privacy fenced in outdoor space with a sliding glass door & 2 small redwood trees inside! It was very nice to sit in the morning & have coffee. Very cute! Charging outlets by the beds were nice. Bathroom was updated. Overall it’s loud because it’s right by the Boardwalk, but clearly one of the nice & well priced hotels in the area within a walk to the beach. Charged $150 deposit but that is fine with us. No trouble parking.

Hotel Solares was a great experience overall. We enjoyed staying at this hotel and will probably come back for our next visit. It’s very walkable to multiple restaurants as well as the Santa Cruz boardwalk itself. The amenities were very clean and even though they were right outside our bedroom, there was not much noise coming from them. The one issue we did have was the parking, we could not find parking spots on Saturday night. We had a parking pass for the hotel since it requires it and we still could not find parking. We also noticed there were multiple cars parked that did not have a pass. This was pretty unfair. We ended up parking in an area that wasn’t for parking but the hotel reception stated it was okay and in the morning, I moved my car when some spots opened up. This is something I definitely think the hotel should address somehow. We pay for the parking and we didn’t get any parking spaces. Everything else that was good definitely outweighed the bad so still overall a good experience.

Extremely satisfied with our stay. For the price we paid, we had low expectations. But this was so close (walkable distance) to boardwalk, rooms were well maintained, beds were comfortable, swimming pool temperature was good even for a April first week evening time. I don’t think any other place would beat this place for the price we paid. Staff was great, particularly front desk/registration staff. Thank you! We had a fun time weekend.
