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.
