Bait and switch with the offer of parking but then charge for it. Also, the hotel staff only clean some of the rooms (and not ours). The breakfast wasn't good. But they still charge a lot of money per night.

Our stay at Hotel Solares was good! I loved that it was so pet friendly and had areas for dogs to hangout in. The room was comfortable and mostly clean. We did have some weird spots on our sheets and the chairs had stains on them, but overall it was clean. The bed was very comfortable and the AC was very nice. The staff was nice and helpful. The dog “agreement” that you sign was a little outdated but they were able to clarify some questions I had about it. The best thing was that it was less than a 10 min walk to get to the boardwalk.

Outdated, unfriendly desk service, dirty rooms, sheets with holes in them, trash in drawers, dirty carpets, and my keys got deactivated by 8am when check out was at 11am. The area where it is located is run down, the pictures are deceiving. I cannot recommend this place.

Overall the property was decent. I would stay there again, but the rooms are inconsistent. Last time I stayed there, my room was much larger than this current room for this stay. I wish that the bathroom made better use of the space. There was no bathtub but there was a big empty space. It could have had a seating area. The beds were comfortable. The pillows were not. Steph was friendly overall. The breakfast that is included is just a small fruit yogurt and bagel but it does the job. Great location, decent prices.
