Solara was a great property to celebrate my friend’s 50th birthday. The rooms were perfect for 5 ladies to stay in (bonus that it had an extra bathroom). Some things we loved: -heated garage (one car only) -clean -overall well-stocked kitchen -decent layout- worked well for our weekend getaway Some drawbacks: -street parking for our second car was a bit of a nightmare -elevator was so busy at check-out (waited 20 mins to be able to ride down with our copious amounts of luggage -not enough carts to help move luggage -pool and hot tub were small and packed -duvet was not automatically provided for pull out bed (with 5 person reservation) and they didn’t answer the phone, so we had to walk down) Overall it was a 4/5 star and we would consider coming back!

Needs work to to come close to its former glory.
This property used to be amazing. It’s now dirty, furniture is battered and the beds and pillows incredibly uncomfortable. Blinds were broken. Paths and sidewalks were in terrible disrepair. It was so sad to see. A few minor repairs and refinishing the wood tables would go a long way.

Bed was not clean. Found bugs in the sofa bed. We tried contacting staff for two days, no one returned our call. On day of check out, I was told to contact the manager. Left a message, but no one returned my call. I will not be staying here again and would not recommend it.

Staff were very helpful . The hotel is starting to look tired with worn carpets and ageing furniture . Our room had been occupied previously by a family with a dog and it left its fleas in the carpet . My wife got flea bites on her ankles ! Also we were bothered by a dog barking in the corridor one evening . Not too happy with housekeeping only making beds on the 5 th night of stay .

Terrible experience. Requestwd a top floor months in advance them again at check in. The check in girl flat out lied to me and said i was onnthentop floor. Arrivded to the room and quickly flund out there was somoene above us. Really noisy and poorly built resort. The place is way past the need for renovations. Poor cleanliness. Parking is an absolute joke. The elevator is insanely slow. Would never stay here again.

Lovely spacious suite. My only complaint was the non stop ventilation fan from the garage being located in the courtyard. It took away from the outdoor space and meant we had to keep the windows closed.

Check in time was 4pm. We couldn't check in till closer to 4:30. Our room wasn't even ready then, so they upgraded us to a 2 bedroom which was fine but not needed. There was no apology , no explanation for why the delay. Front staff seemed nice but not over customer service focused when we complained and asked how much longer, as we had a dinner at 5 for a wedding. The room was dark, lighting in the bathroom was terrible. There was a small round mirror for zooming in on your face but it was mounted so high, I couldn't even use it on my tippy toes. There were some patches on the corners that hadn't been sanded down or repainted. Hallway were dim, no artwork or anything of interest. Stains on some of the carpets. I wouldn't rate this as a luxury resort. Maybe a nice 3 star condo.
