Club on bottom floor too loud - Dont check-in on Fri/Sat night

We booked this hotel for a week despite warnings from others on this site that the noise is really loud on Fri/Sat night when they have the bar/club scene going on by the pool. The pool is definitely a hook-up area, 20-30 somethings.. no families. The hotel in general is not kid friendly. I wish we were warned about the noise on Saturday night till 1AM. Its impossible to sleep. We were in a room facing a pool on the 8 or 9th floor. Thats about as high up as you can get. I wish I could get a refund for that night. Parking is 35 dollars a night!! Why can’t they just roll that into the price of the room

very good experience

Spent 5 nights at the Hotel Solamar, and if you are looking for GREAT customer service, this is your place. Everyone working within in the hotel was cordial, sincere and just overall showed pure affection to the fact that we were their "guests". They were the first to point out places of interest, get us transportation or just let us know a great place to eat. We celebrated our 2 year anniversary while we were at the hotel and they even sent up some appetizers and a bottle of wine for us...very classy move by our conciege Jose. Great experience and we will be staying there again!!

Great hotel!

We read mixed reviews on this hotel - mainly due to the noise from the pool bar. It didn’t bother us at all. Our room was on the top (10th) floor overlooking the pool and you couldn’t hear the noise at all unless your window was open. Rooms were furnished very uniquely. Staff was great.

Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay

The location was excellent. It was very close to a number of great restaurants and bars and also very close to the Convention Centre.
