Fundraiser Extraordinaire
Not as great as usual
Staff friendly. Can't read by the lights in the room. Can't see to do makeup in the bathroom. Want a restaurant with a reasonably priced breakfast, not the usual hotel "trapped by the prices" rates. This was my first Kimpton hotel experience where I really can't rave.

Time-saving tip:
Not Applicable
Do not take the airport shuttles. Cab is only $15, taking 5 minutes. Shuttles are $8-10, but took an hour and a half. I could have walked the distance in less time.

Totally worth every penny!
From check in to check out the experience was seemless! The hotel is in walking distance to so many restaurants, parks, transit center, and shopping! The staff is so friendly and helpful, they strive to meet your needs as much as is possible to them! This place is a must go to!

Conference turned vacation
When I arrived, I was absolutely exhausted from the drive from the San Luis Obispo on a Friday evening. I was greeted by the friendliest concierge staff who immediately made me feel like royalty. The ambiance sucked away any stress. My stay was more relaxing than any other 4 day trip I have had. I have stayed in nearby hotels priced similarly, and they don't even come close to how wonderful Solamar is!! The running map and healthy food is a plus. My only request would be a coffee maker in a room in addition to the great brew in the lobby every morning.

Excellent Hotel with a fabulous restaurant!
Perfect in every weay except when I pulled into the driveway. Unbeknowst to me they charged $40 for overnight parking. Outrageous, but they waived that fee. After that everything well extremely well.
