Walls were paper thin. Upstairs sounded like they were rearranging furniture until 230am. The outlets didn’t work so I couldn’t charge my phone. Hot water in the shower didn’t work and it took them a while to get it working.

The dingy gate around the property seemed concerning but I like that there is only one way in and out onto the property. I felt like it looked like an unsafe area but felt safe upon check in and beyond. Love the smells on property too!

Staff was friendly, clean pool/hot tub and clean room. Website has check in at 3:00pm, my Expedia room confirmation also had 3;00pm, but when we got there they told us it's 4:00pm. So we paid $40 for "early" check in.

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.

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.

I had a couple of days off and wanted to go to Santa Cruz. I booked a two-night stay for my family. There was 5 of us including 2 teenagers. After I booked my stay, I read the reviews, and they were not very good. My stay was wonderful. The room I booked was a family suite. The first floor had 2 double beds, lounger, and full walk-in shower. Upstairs was a king size bed, a lounger and a full bathroom with a jacuzzi tub. The room was clean, quiet, beds comfortable, and towels plush. We asked the front desk for additional beddings because one of the teenagers wanted to sleep on the lounger. They brought the beddings in a few minutes. I would recommend this hotel to everyone. I wish I was able to stay longer

Was told by check in clerk there was breakfast in the morning at check in. I didn’t even ask. Then I over heard another staff telling another gues anbout the breakfast. I realized i didn’t ask the time so, I message the text number that replied answers to questions while at the hotel. It told me breakfast Monday to Sunday: 7:00 AM - 9:00 AM. There was no breakfast and the coffee machine didn’t work. Woman at front desk barely looked up when asked a question. She acted like we were bothering her. She said there’s never a breakfast . How weird to lie to so many guests. Very disappointing
