Recent Solamar Kimpton Review: "My fiancA© and I stayed at this hotel for only one night; but it was a Friday night, which may have been the only factor that made our stay less than 100%. My fiancA© and I stayed at this hotel for only one night; but it was a Friday night, which may have been the only factor that made our stay less than perfect. The hotel bar was located on the 4th floor as well (which our room was on the same floor, but some rooms do look over the pool/bar area. Since this hotel bar is open till 2am, we definitely heard many guests trying to find their room (unsuccessfully, I might add) b/c a group of girls thought our room was their room, and proceeded to try at least 3 different keys, until someone figured out that it wasn't their room and then went to the room right next to us wasn't there room... While it was kind of funny listening to all of them The hotel staff were all knowledgeable and more then helpful wonderful from the moment we arrived, especially the fact that I asked three of different staff at the hotel if they would suggest dinner; two staff suggested a good pick, but the doorman went through the effort of calling his sister to suggested a place to eat, and then called our room to let us know what his sister had suggested! The location was unbelievable! The hotel is situated right next to prime shopping and restaurants that we walked to on Friday night. The room was modern and beautifully decorated and lots of special touches like a snack draw (which of course was a little pricey, but after being at the hotel bar (which is rooftop and has a great view and open till 2a!) we found ourselves digging into these overpriced snacks! This hotel was also pet friendly and even had a doggie water bowl by the valet for all of those thirsty puppies! All and all, this was a wonderful choice for our first trip to San Diego!"
