i liked hotel location! close walking distance to boardwalk, and the beach.. my room was on first floor- near common area, and pool. this area became busy and noisy in evening and again, in early morning. Other than that it was an okay stay.

6/10 Okay

Staff is friendly . The hot tubs were yellow and the jets weren’t working correctly, may of been due to low water level?

4/10 Poor

We found a fork in between the sheets in one bed. Found the toilet cleaner scruber INSIDE the toilet. People upstairs seemed they were stomping their feet up until 1130 pm and again at 530.am We ended up leaving earlier than our checkout time.
Jacqueline, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!

Kathryn, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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
Barbara, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

I liked the location!
Ashlyn, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

It's run down and some things are dangerous like broken cement edges of the pool. I used to stay here years ago and it was nice, now I don't wanna stay here again and I visit Santa Cruz often.
Pamela, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Hotel Solares is an older property with very affordable prices What was very impressive was the pet friendly room, which had laminate floors (no carpet, hurray) that allowed easy cleanup for any accident. I didn't bring my dog, but in a hotel, she usually is nervous and I'd never had a pet room that let me clean up her little messes. The really cool part was outside the patio door. Each pet room was fenced with astroturf over some of the area and a big sand box for the pets. You could leave the patio door open and your pet can go in and out and have its own yard. Wow, how cool is that?
anne, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Pool and hot tub were great. Nice clean rooms. Bed was a little hard but over all nice hotel for the price.
Allison, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Room not available, we had to wait to get rm, at 5:10 pm we finally checked in. Not only was our rm not ready but we got lots of attitude from the lady at the front desk poor customer service. Rm was not cleaned through, Found dirty diapers no towels, plumbing in the bathroom is incorrect, hot and cold water are switched be warned you could possibly burn your self. Jacuzzi was not working, do not recommend wil never ever stay at this property again.
