I booked a night at the Hotel Solares recently, so that my family and I could enjoy a fun day at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. It's a no frills family friendly hotel, within a 1/4 mile walk of the Boardwalk that has a pool. Our check in was at 4pm, we were given a room on a lower level near the pool with a sliding patio door to a side yard. Unsure what the room number was, but this would have been excellent if traveling with a pet. The hotel was quiet at night, we got a good night's sleep and got up early to take a dip in the pool. Great way to start another fun day in Santa Cruz! read more

The staff is friendly, the rooms are spacious and clean, this place would be better if they would serve breakfast, they only serve coffee which its still good. The boardwalk is minutes away in car which is not bad. This hotel is in a very centric place. read more

Room and pool was nice but sooo many kids running wild everywhere. Also the staff wasn't very friendly. Saw 2 front desk staff out smoking as there were several people waiting to checkin. There was one Hispanican that was very nice and helpful. Saw him bring out towels to the pool several Times and help with my luggage cart as I brought it back. The other hotel staff told my husband they don't take towels out to the pool, so thank you to the guy that did! read more

Worst stay ever the whole ceiling was cracked and fell through. We tried to tell the lady at the desk but did not change us rooms until the ceiling fell. The room smelled of black mold and the shower had black stains. The room above us had a wild party with people screaming at 2am with loud banging noises all night. We could not shower. When the ceiling fell in they were forced to give us another room and only refunded for one of the days when they said they were going to refund the stay when we left upset. Do not stay here shady area, dirty room, and unsanitary. We had to throw away our stuff in the bathroom it was so gross. read more

Do not stay here if you use medical devices that must be plugged in. The only outlet in our whole room that worked was in the bathroom. That has to be some kind of code violation! Based of reviews it's been a long standing issue. Mold in the bathrooms, room was not cleaned well. The furniture in the room is old and damaged. There were stains and holes all over the bedding. The least they could do is make sure outlets work and there isn't mold in the rooms. To the owner have you no pride in your business, honestly I'd be embarrassed. read more

Not great, but not awful. First of all, the guy at the front desk does not make anyone feel very welcome. Zero personality. But whatever. The price of the place seems pretty good for the area and it's a good location. It's close to the boardwalk and a 15 minute walk to the hipper part of town. Some of the rooms, including ours, have a cool outdoor space. That was nice. The room itself was fine with a desk and a couple chairs. There were some strange things about it, like the fact that the toilet wasn't secured to the ground very well and there were multiple holes in the blankets. So, if that kind of stuff doesn't bother you, this place is OK. read more

Why does yr website say check in is at 3, and we are here a bit early (2:40) and you are telling us sorry, the check in is at 4!!!! Are you kidding me? We have a sleeping child in the car and we're just supposed to roam around until 4??? This is bullshit! And this hotel is in a crappy neighborhood. They sure made it look good online. Garbage, garbage, garbage!!! Minus zero stars!!! Unfortunately I have to give a star to make this post. read more

This was absolutely the worst hotel I have ever stayed in my life. Not to mention the urine stains that were on our comforter!! Spoke to the manager who had absolutely no customer service skills and was absolutely withdrawn.. It took this amazing gentleman by the name of George, who was staff there to give us a brand new comforter. We are truly thankful for him. Other than that horrible experience. read more

****DO NOT STAY HERE*** this place is awful with TERRIBLE service I've been reading the reviews and it sounds like the same dude. I had a fight with him too when he was super rude asking who gave our family permission for the late check out. We checked in the night prior and the front desk guy said we can stay till 12pm the following day. I call the front desk to request maintenance to our room that morning because the microwave door didn't open to get my sandwich out. Rude man came up to our room and kept raising his voice asking who told us it was ok to stay late. What do I work there?? He should have that information from his employees. Ridiculous. The room is super outdated , FLIES EVERYWHERE!!! Our toilet ran non stop. I will be complaining to the Santa Cruz County Hospitality and Lodging Association. I've stayed here years prior at least 15 times and this is the first time I've experienced this, never again and hope the company comes to their senses and gets rid of that employee before they lose a ton of business. He's a joke . And no need to respond I don't need to hear your excuses read more

I stayed at this hotel recently for 4 nights. The staff was really nice and price was reasonable. To the owner I need to say: The air is "thick" with the smell of the toxic cleaning supply fumes. Have you guys ever considered using natural cleaning supplies? There are so many natural options and brands nowadays. You could be one of the first hotels to start using toxin-free cleaning supplies and you open your hotel to so more guests, not to mention it would help your employees not be exposed to these dangerous endocrine disrupting chemicals all day, that are highly likely negatively affecting their health. I had to leave the door open all day just to be able to air it out enough to be able to sleep at night. Happy to change my review if you change your cleaning supplies. thank you for your consideration. read more

* * * WARNING DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL * * * Not only was there mold on the ceiling in the bathroom, a small puddle of dried blood under the side of the bed but there was red public hair on our sheets the first night. We kinda just shrugged it off, changed the sheets and went about our business not trying to make it a big deal. But then the second night my kids really wanted to go in the hot tub and pool. So we all put our swim suits on and made our way to the pool area where we began to soak in the hot tub. Eventually my wife got out and then I noticed my 3 year old daughter start to paw at her privates so I asked her if she what to go to the bathroom and she replies "it hurts." Thats when I realized I was feeling some discomfort as well and then my wife says " thats why i got out." So we all get out and my wife notices her redish brown swimsuit has been bleached an off color of white. So we let the other familys know that were experiencing a chemical burn and to not go in the hot tub. We all ran to the shower to get our chemical soaked cloths off and wash the chemicals off of us. After I headed to the front desk to tell the staff about the incident where I was met by two staff members a man named Adam and another younger female staff member. I told them what happened including how my 3 year old daughters privates are hurting and they didnt really seem fazed at least Adam didnt, the young lady showed a little bit of concern. Adam informed me that he would write my room number and name down and I could speak to the manager in the morning. I told him he should shut the hot tubs down but later that night I went out to take a photo of the cloudy water and there was another group of young adults sitting in the hot tub. I warrened them about what had just happened and advised them to get out asap if they wanted to avoid what we had experienced. I then went to let Adam know that there was people still in the hot tubs and he seemed annoyed and dismissive of me. Later my wife went to show them her swim suit and she came back to tell me how rude the staff was towards her as well. The next morning I went to talk to the manager about what had happened and he wasnt willing to take any accountability even after showing him my wife's swim suit saying if thats true then everyone would be coming up complaining. As he said that the lady from the hot tub next to us had just walked down and said us too we were in the hot tub too and were also burnt. The manager Sam denied any chance of this happening saying that the machines do it all and they apparently never mess up. It's still the maintenance guys responsibility to check the levels regardless if he put chemicals in or not. Anyways needles to say I talked to the group of young adults and they said there swim bottoms were also damaged from the high amount to of chlorine. So it now it was multiple groups who experienced the same thing and this man still wouldnt work with me and instead chose to be rude and argumentative. Seeing as I was very upset we did get into a bit of an ugly argument and my wife had to continue speaking to the man. He eventually agreed to comp the one night if I would sign a note of compensation. I was too upset at this point and had already made up my mind to seek further legal action. I will be contacting the Santa Cruz Sheriffs civil section as well as the Department of Health as well as the (SCCHLA) Santa Cruz County Hospitality and Lodging Association. Hopefully I can get some kind of justice because I did just get back from urgent care and I did in fact suffer first degree burns on my genitals. My eyes are still very itchy and blurry and my skin has no oils left and is very itches and stings over my entire body. My wife's making an appointment for her and my daughter. We could have figured this out if the manager had been more considerate of the situation and took some accountability. read more

Not impressed.!!! We came before 3pm and the receptionist told us to wait for 30 minutes so they can clean the room. We walked around and got back at 4:10pm. The guy at the front desk said The room not ready yet. I'm waiting while my kids are sleeping on the couch at the lobby. read more

Not impressed. The rooms are run down and dated. The in room jacuzzi bathtub was nasty with pvc plugs over some of the jets. No bathtub plug either. A weird yellow gonorrhea film came out of the jets when they were turned on. Didn't try the pool or hot tub. The electrical outlets are inconsistent and not all work. Rust showing on parts of the balcony barriers. Breakfast was bagels, yogurt, orange/apple juices and a finicky weird custom coffee machine that tasted like mud. The sink in the breakfast area was nasty too. Napkins were non existent until the absence was brought up to the front desk staff. Then they magically appeared. It's pretty clear that this motel is under new management and they're trying to figure it out. Hope they are successful because it is a beautiful property. read more

Hotel Solares - Courtyard area - Hotels Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

If your with your grandmother this place is perfect maybe, only one ice machine works down stairs , they have balconies but you can't smoke after overpaying for a room, just to realize you don't have any freedom todo anything. You can't make ANY loud noises after 10 not even children laughing or they will threaten to kick you and your child out. So after dealing with the over priced room with the useless balcony and so many rules I would stay at motel 6 unless your with your grandma then this place is perfect. Honestly it's not worth the money there's plenty of other hotels I wish I would looked at. Who knew even with a balcony they still try to control you while you pay for it read more

Hotel Solares - An over priced hotel with to many rules. - Hotels Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

If the Hyatt or Marriott's are not available and vrbo are to expensive? Id book here.

I know some reviews might call this place "rundown," but I found Hotel Solares to be quaint and honestly perfect for what we needed. If you're looking for fancy extras and high-end amenities, this probably isn't the place for you. But the hotel is very upfront about what they offer. It is all clearly listed on the website, so there is really no reason to be upset about what they do not have. Stay for what they do have. Our room had steep, slanted ceilings and felt like it used to be a honeymoon suite. It came with a big bed, a pullout couch, and a closet so large that I actually slept in it on an air mattress. There were four of us, and it worked out surprisingly well. Now, there were only two downsides to our stay. First, the microwave in our room was a little sketchy. It almost caught one of our cups on fire after less than 60 seconds. These were cups we got from the hotel lobby that were labeled "microwave safe," but the heat burned through almost two of them. It might be worth checking or replacing those microwaves. The second thing was the lack of shower privacy. The bathroom has a large Jacuzzi tub with a shower setup, but the curtain does not fully close on both sides. There is also nothing to hold it in place. We had to get creative with some hair clips to make it work. If someone needed to use the bathroom while someone else was showering, it got a little awkward. I'd recommend they add a darker, longer curtain or at least some sort of closure so guests can have more privacy. I love my nieces, but I also love a private shower. Everything else was great. The room was clean, stayed nice and cool, and the staff was friendly. The pool was on the smaller side, but still a great option, and there was a hot tub too. They also offer free coffee and tea in the mornings, which is always a plus. One small note: the hotel may not appear as bright yellow as it does in the photos. That could be because they have updated their paint job at some point, or it may have faded from constant exposure to the California sun. Either way, it still has charm. Just don't expect the same bold color from the pictures. I was not looking for anything luxurious--just something clean, safe, and close to the boardwalk. And this place nailed it. It is about a 10-minute walk to the Santa Cruz boardwalk, and the location could not have been more convenient for our trip. We would definitely stay here again, as long as the prices stay reasonable. Hotel Solares was exactly what we needed, and we left happy. read more

Do Not Recommend! Pros: walking distance to the Boardwalk, pet friendly Cons: dirty, broken light fixtures, broken tiles in stairwell, worn out and stained furniture. Safety issues. We stayed only one night but this was enough. I would not recommend to my friends, nor stay here again. Pictures speak for themselves but the grounds and room was dirty, run down and needs much renovation. read more

I've had Nothing but terrible experiences at this place when I've came recently. I kept trying to give them chance after chance because I used to come to this hotel every year on vacation as a kid growing up. But since the management has changed this place has went extremely downhill. The rooms have gotten way dirty with multiple blood stains and holes in the sheets found every time we come. Shower floods all over the place, & they tried to change us out of requested disabled room with a disabled person present , just because we weren't visibly disabled to them. We had to go back and requested a change. On top of this the apparent " manager" comes over knocking on my window while I am smoking inside my car angrily pointing at me to roll my window down. It's night time , I'm a female and he's acting aggressive pointing , doesn't tell me who he is at all so I'm thinking this is a random dude. He starts saying "turn your music off, turn it off, " when it was already turned low enough to hear him. But apparently is has to be completely off?? I'm like ummmm okay and turn it off. He starts going on and on about how I was told I can't smoke anywhere near there which I never was?.. I actually was also away from the building inside my car with my car windows up. My whole life coming here my family smoked in the back parking lot curb standing outside, as well as they had a designated spot INSIDE even behind the buildings near the pool where it was allowed. So I thought especially in my car away from the building was ok.. my bad. I wasn't even inside or the building so I had no idea. Regardless, I felt as a long time customer I wasn't really given grace on how I was spoken to. Whoever the man was, was being hostile , even questioning if "I even am staying here". He was wearing a zip up hoodie and jeans so I'm not sure if this even was the manger. I'm definitely never coming back here which is sad because of the memories and neither will my family for future years. Oh yeah and On top of this they got smaller fridges and don't even serve breakfast anymore.... Cheap asl. read more

Everything can improve starting with firing the General Manager who is a total misogynist! Accommodations are less than adequate. I've nothing good to say about this establishment. And after having soiled sheets and ZERO compensation I will let the pictures speak for themselves... I wish I can rate subzero, but everyone knows you have to put at least one star! This place will nickel and dime you, from the parking to pet policies-when booking.com doesn't match their policies they have an oh well attitude and will tell you to go somewhere else if you're thinking about booking especially for a holiday don't because not only is this a ghetto neighborhood but, if you decide not to stay there, you won't have anywhere else to go. There will be no back up on a busy holiday weekend. Good luck to you all. read more

This was my first time staying here. When we pulled in, we were right next to a homeless encampment and there was construction going on on the hotel itself, and it looked dirty. When we walked in the lobby to check in the attendants were all high on marijuana and the lobby smelled like cannabis. I had a service dog that I signed in and filled out a waiver for the fee and then we checked in. The room was rundown and very unpleasant and dirty. When I checked out a different guy was very rude to me and he charged me $200 for the service dog after signing the waiver and he dismissed that it was Service related like he was a doctor. He used the fact that I was in the military to become aggressive towards me and I did not appreciate that at all. I tried to call and get the fees reversed and he was even more rude. I'm trying to have somebody call me from the hotel to get the fees reversed, but so far no luck. I found this hotel on Booking.com and definitely won't be using them again either. read more

The worst Experience ever, I booked through Hotels.com let's start with the Hotel looks like a hunted place, it's not yellow nothing like the pictures online, the pool picture it's cat fish it looks nothing like the pictures they have online. First when we arrived walked in and were told that no early check in was available after I had received an email from the hotel letting me know it was an option. We were informed they didn't have any rooms and we were told check in was at 4pm. so we left to the boardwalk to enjoy the sun and food! and came back at 4:40pm. when I went to check in I was told no room was available, the lady at the reception was rude! Made comments to my family that were not appropriate stating no one told you to go to the beach like if it was our fault they didn't have our room available. She also compared our room Reservation to burger order at a restaurant!!! Like wtf! She was arguing with us instead of finding a solution! When we got our room finally! We had a half way used toilet paper they did not provide a new one. We had no soap, conditioner nothing in our room, the balcony door lock was broken it did not lock. Instead of fixing it they had a stick to close for the price it's not worth it! I will NEVER stay here again, I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone! Stay away unless you want to find baby diapers in your balcony like my siblings found in the room! read more

I hope my review helps you make the decision you need for a comfortable stay. Booked Double King with sleeper sofa (queen) Pro: -Roomy for larger family (Fam 6) - close walking distance to broad walk 8-10 mins -close to food which is convenient when you have children -pool & hot tube was was clean ok - ok outdoor ambient vibe looks a lot better than next door hotel. -walk in closet Cons: deducted 3 stars for the following -first thing hub said was how rude and unwelcome the front desk clerk was. No info was shared with us. No timing of when breakfast was available and pool access and hours. -the smell! It was bleach!! I read someone posted fabuloso but not indeed it's bleach and it was horrible on night 1. Couldn't sleep. We kept the windows and patio slide door open. -stains on mattress were visible -stains on pillows -stains on sofa (old milk? Or something so we wanna believe it was because wits white and crusty ) -thin walls. Can hear footsteps from floor 3. Can hear neighbors doing their thang. We were right above lobby. -Oh don't bother breakfast! Waste of your precious sleep! Order your food in. -plugs were inconsistent and so were the lightings. We were staying mainly for bed sizes to accommodate 6 + distance. Otherwise.... We would look else where. If you're looking to accommodate similar needs & okay with above. then you're set will we stay again? Eh ‍‍ read more

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!! First time stay here and was not impressed and will NOT be renting here again! We very much inconvenienced. After being out all day, my husband and I came back to our room and put our left overs in the refrigerator. We woke up in the morning grabbed our left overs from the fridge only to discover the refrigerator didn't work. Our food went bad! $72 worth of BBQ I might add. Not only did our refrigerator not work, neither did our shower. My husband went to the front desk to notify them, front desk sent someone to check on the shower and they told us they would call their supervisor and no one came back. 30 minutes into waiting for the supervisor to come, no one came. I had to walk to the front desk only to be told they would allow us to use a room ONLY to shower. Very embarrassing for my husband and I walking through the lobby with our PJs on and clothes in our hands with a lobby full of people. Front desk person could care less. I reached out to Expedia for a refund or half of our compensation. Expedia reached out to the hotel and hotel front desk told them no refund was to be given to us since they gave us a new room. THEY DID NOT give us a whole new room, they only let us use the shower!! Lastly, remote didn't work. I told front desk right before I checked out about everything that didn't work and he COULD CARE less. Didn't even apologize for the inconvenience, he only asked for the parking pass!!! So very unprofessional!! DO NOT RENT HERE!!! read more

Worst customer service I've ever experienced. I'm not one to give low ratings but damn these people don't deserve to charging people these rates for a cockroach infested hotel let alone the place need lots of work. I'm currently in between housing so I've been staying at hotels for the past 2 months. I've spent most of my money here at this hotel cause of its location and decent prices. They've recently started raising their pricing but that's not my complaint. I've spent thousands of dollars at this hotel and they do not give a damn about customer loyalty. They will kick you out if you don't check out on time and the girl had the nerve to kick me out of my room I paid for till 12pm @11:45 and said I'm never allowed to come back to the hotel. I had a 3 month old child so it's hard for me to maneuver by myself...so I booked another night so I could stay in the same room but she told me to leave and come back at 4pm which is guaranteed check in time. As I am leaving I see her checking in a new guest... after I had spent the week there for her to kick me out like that and the manager had nothing to say. He said ok. You can only book through Expedia. Like wtf kind of customer service is that. If you want to spend money and feel unappreciated and disrespected this is the place for you... I've worked for many hotels and I've stayed at hundreds. Never have I ever felt so disrespected and never would I ever make a guest that's spends so much money feel like that. Make a customer with a newborn leave when it's raining and come back when they had plenty of rooms. read more

Hotel Solares - Disgusting!! - Hotels Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

NOT SAFE. Aside from the transients that hang around the hotel, the rooms/property itself is poorly maintained. Photos/video attached. There were SEVERAL safety hazards in the room including: 1) The door panel where the lock is was completely broken and detached thus defeating the purpose of the lock! Any intruder could easily bust in through the door. 2) There are exposed NAILS by the sliding glass door handle. My friend almost cut herself opening the door to the balcony. 3) The blow dryer was rusted and started SMOKING when I turned it on. This room should never have been booked. It is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Aside from the hazards, the room had stains on the walls, chipped paint, there were hairs left in the bathtub... It is clear this hotel does not care about the maintenance of the rooms or the building. I wish I had done more research and saw all the bad reviews on Yelp before booking. Thankfully I had only booked it for the night. Totally unacceptable conditions. Beware. read more

I booked a stay here because of all the good reviews I saw. I arrived in the middle of the night and was checked in to my room but once I walked in it was disgusting, it had a weird odor to it and their was crumbs on the floor, the couch had some white stains from who knows what/when. The bathtub was dirty, had old soap and hair on the walls. I complained and asked for a different room, I was moved to the one next door and it had crumbs on the bedsheets as well, they then tried to "accommodate" me to a bigger room which had blood on the sheets which I'm sure is from bed bugs. I left the hotel and slept in my car. We went back the next day to ask for a refund and they refused to give it to us, they then refunded only the second night because according to them "the first night we tried to accommodate you." Please book elsewhere, they are very rude and aside from that the hotel is very nasty and dirty. If your looking for a cheap hotel, book Comfort inn, it's literally a 5 minute walk from the boardwalk and very clean!! read more

This hotel is bad news couldn't tell till we arrived. The first was the coffee maker it had no power button just an empty space . So the manager an his wife seem to be the main problem with this place . He claimed it was fine finally gave over a newer one . It could not have been more than $10 in a dollar store. The room for 187 was on the ground floor. The locks on the door which was glass on both sides was mostly a chain very insecure. They provided no wifi password. The ice machine was broken didn't tell us until checkout time there was one on the third floor. I save my mind reading for other projects. The television had service worse than no cable . The fountain had no water. The website that we used said that breakfast was included. The woman that checked us in was terse looked as she wanted to be elsewhere. The manager made absolutely no concessions fir any of the misgivings of the hotel no late checkout nothing no use of the pool . Please don't let me forget about the elephant above us prancing up an down all night long .Do yourself a favor . Forgot about the bathtub dripping all night long . NIGHTMARE read more

Would not let me check in under my wife's reservation, with her id and reservation information. Very rude.

ATTENTION PSA!!!! I'm walking to the car as I'm writing this after checking out. If I could rate this "hotel" I mean MOTEL a -1 star I would. THEIR PICTURES ON WEBSITE ARE FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. There's a list of things that was terrible -we couldn't check in at the right time due to low staff -the outside looks super ghetto, paint all messed up dirt all over the walls -inside the room looks terrible -our sheets had bloody sheets -pillow cases had stains -mold all through the bathroom -shower head falling off the wall -the walls creeks -you can hear the upstairs ppl walking and stomping -the pool doesn't look like the picture -the outlets weren't working in the room -there's no breakfast in the morning -the floors had stains -the staff here are rude as fuck they don't care they just want you in and out. There's just so much more to this place I could go on. We came for my nieces birthday because they wanted to go to Santa Cruz, came Friday and left on a Sunday 700 for this place. Not worth it. PLEASE DO NOT STAY HERE. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!!!!! THEY MAKE THE PICTURES ON THE WEBSITE LOOK BEAUTIFUL. WRONG!!!! read more

I don't understand the low rating on this hotel, we had an amazing stay here at the hotel Solares. The outside of the hotel is very cute with wrought iron patio ledges and palm trees. The inside looks updated and clean. There's a courtyard with a pool that's open till 10pm on weekends. The glass elevator overlooks the courtyard(I wish the water fountain was working cos I bet that would look so nice). The room was updated spacious and clean. The bed comfy and I loved our little patio. I slept very well and the room was quiet despite children playing in the pool.must be soundproofed or something because you couldn't really hear any of the noise outside the room if windows and doors are shut. I've been to many noisy hotels so it was nice to have a quiet nights rest. plenty of seating in our room and the atmosphere was nice. Thank you for the complimentary continental breakfast! read more

Beautiful and clean room! Very nice and we love the space and the view of the pool! Great location 9 minutes from the Boardwalk.

Room was fine, one spider otherwise was clean, roomy, no tub. Pool was ok, only one jacuzzi worked and did not work well. Breakfast was bagels, oranges, and yogurt. Cream cheese and jelly, no butter or peanut butter. They have other items for sale. Went to grocery outlet for some protein. Staff was mostly friendly. read more

UNCLEAN!!! Moldy bathroom fixtures, rotten baseboards, loose/non-functioning power outlets, and BEDBUGS!! This place is neglected and dirty. NEVER AGAIN! The toilet in our first room stopped working so we were moved into another room, which was no better. That's where I woke up covered in bites on my arms and torso. Whats worse is I brought them home and had to bomb my house! I wouldn't recommend this MOTEL (which is what it actually is) to my worst enemy. Lesson learned. I'll never trust Priceline again. 2.5 stars my ass. read more
