I stayed here in December. The hotel was nice enough, I guess. Looking at other people's reviews is making me think that I should have paid for an upgraded room and maybe I would have had more of a luxury experience. As it was, I didn't think that I got a really good value for the cost of staying there.... More

This was the first hotel we stayed in on our first trip to the States, so will always be very special. Stayed on one of the upper animal free floors looking down on the pool. A nice room although the bathroom was quite small. Loved the location in the Gaslamp quarter with lots of restaurants, close to Petco Park where... More

My husband and I checked into Hotel Solamar in San Diego a few days before Christmas for two nights away from the craziness and kids. It's located in a pretty cool area of San Diego's Gaslamp district, near Petco Park. We checked in and wandered the shops along the streets leading to Horton Plaza then finished our shopping at the... More

We always look for Kimpton properties when on vacation as they are good values and great rooms. This hotel didn't disappoint. They have a wonderful pool and lounge on the fourth floor roof that makes a great place to relax after a long day. Our room was fairly large and came with a sunken tub for two complete with jets....

This was a few years ago (2010?). The Kimpton hotels were running a great special, only $99 per night! Perfect for a romantic getaway! I was really excited, and it was a nice little property. Rooms are exactly as pictured on the website (which is rare), and they DID have all the little specials, like the free wine reception, which... More

Rooms were clean and newly remodeled. People were very friendly and helpful at the front desk. Within walking location to everything in the Gaslamp. More

This hotel is situated in the center of the historic Gaslamp District of San Diego. We were treated like royalty by the hotel staff. It was fun watching the parking valets "run" to get our car. They care about their guests. Try upgrading to a suite, we appreciated the extra space. I we go back to San Diego we will... More

Stayed for four nights for a conference at the convention center, which is in short walking distance. As with every Kimpton hotel, nice and small reception area, free wine tasting, and just a nice warm feeling. Parking easy and relatively cheap in the own hotel garage – only valet. Pool and fitness good for a downtown hotel. First had a... More

Overall a very nice hotel. The checking and later checkout was very fast. Front desk personnel were very friendly. I had breakfast in the attached restaurant and the food was good and reasonably priced. The location is great as mentioned in other reviews. My room was quiet and the beds were comfortable. I would give the cleanliness 8/10. The 4th... More
