Great stay and great price

The hotel was great. It has been tastefully remodeled and we really enjoyed our stay. It was convenient and walking distance to the Boardwalk and many restaurants. Check in and check out was a breeze. We will absolutely stay there again.

Good & affordable

Hotel Solaris is very affordable and close to the boardwalk, but not too close where there’s tons of traffic. The room is easy accessible and the parking is easy unless it’s a weekend and then it gets full pretty fast.

Thomas, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Dwight, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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

joefson, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Decent

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.
