Please read the reviews and cancelation policy carefully before you book because there are no refunds. (In other words, be prepared to lose your money if you're dissatisfied or you choose to check out early for any reason.)If you're looking for no frills accommodations (the pictures on the website make the property look more spacious and chic than it actually is) with parking, beach access, and a kitchenette, then this might be the place for you.However, if you're looking for a quiet getaway or a good night's sleep, then this is probably not the place for you. The room I stayed in was literally feet away from the pool and I could hear other guests loudly and clearly throughout the day and night. And they could see into my room through a large window by the bed, so I had no sense of privacy.Two issues that say a lot about this hotel:1) The management had posted a sign in the bathroom indicating that guests would be charged for items they steal from the property. Presuming your guests are thieves is unlikely to make them feel welcome.2) I received an email from the hotel seeking feedback about my stay. The message came from a no reply address, and it did not include any information about how or where to submit comments. This makes me think that the hotel may not actually be interested in guest feedback.

My recent stay at Hotel SOL left much to be desired. If you're someone who enjoys music and a vibrant atmosphere by the beach, I strongly advise against booking a stay here.One of the most disappointing aspects of my experience was the lack of music allowed by the pool or on the beach. For many, including myself, the sound of music adds to the enjoyment of leisure time spent in such locations. Unfortunately, Hotel SOL seems to enforce strict rules against it, detracting from the overall experience.Moreover, the atmosphere of the hotel felt more akin to a retirement home rather than a lively beachside retreat. There was a notable absence of youthful energy or activities that could appeal to a younger crowd. It might be prudent for the management to consider implementing an age minimum to align better with the expectations of their guests.Another significant issue was the demeanor of the lady at the front desk during the morning and early afternoon shifts. It was evident that she harbored discontent towards her job, which unfortunately manifested in her interactions with guests. Her attitude detracted from the hospitality one expects from a hotel stay and left a sour taste in my mouth.In summary, my stay at Hotel SOL fell far short of expectations. The lack of music ambiance, the subdued atmosphere reminiscent of a retirement home, and the unwelcoming attitude of the morning and early afternoon front desk staff all contributed to a disappointing experience. For those seeking a vibrant beachside getaway, I recommend exploring other options.

Do not stay here, we are here right now for one night. AC is not working, room is super muggy. All they offered was a fan. Plus you have to cross a busy highway to go to your room, pool or beach. If I would of known that I would of not booked here. Awful all the way around! Save your money!!

I booked Online by a 3rd party by error, it became the worse must expensive hotel we ever stayed!!! I was there for peace, we are mourning the loss of my best friend just wanted TLC but after fees almost $400 PR NIGHT, we wore given the worst room with a view to the trash cans and parking lot, our room was in at the end of the hall in a corner ! Like time out ! where all the luggage carts got packed, next to the ice machine, The king bed was trash, old and lumpy, the fold out bed had a thin sponge where you could feel the rods across your back, it was a Backbreaker for my son, it hurt his back! the bedroom door and bathroom door hit each other if you open them at the same time, no other comfortable sofas to watch TV in the room. AND YOU CAN'T GET RECEPTION UNTIL 9:00 am, This Not a Hilton but they think they are by the way they charge ! Im so upset, hurt, tired ,dissatisfied and I feel ripped of the the Only good thing there is the waterfront view. I asked for a refund But was dinied. THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. I believe they broked the law, I didn't get what I paid for on-line, then I would be ask to pay upgrades fees to be able to get a handicap room, which I'm a completely a disabled person.I would give it a 0 if I could, This should be a $50.00 hotel not a $400. it is Not a 5 ? hotel by any means, It's ridiculous and ? crimininal how we got treated at this place. Your manager has no heart or sympathy for anybody, she is cold, is there just to make you money...Stay away from this place I should had read the negative reviews before booking .Rooms: was clean but they need new beds, new sofas new Attitude ?

We were there for two days and then left again. It was just a stopover. The hotel has parking, a pool and a snack machine. The room is ok. It even has a small kitchen. The beach is right next to the hotel, very nice. Certainly ok for a short stay.Nearby activities: The harbor (St. Johns) is great, you can watch dolphins and pelicans.

Thank you for a wonderful stay! Y'all have put a lot of thought and planning into providing a superior guest experience, and you nailed it.Best in class customer service from start to finish: helped me fix my booking error, luggage cart, fast friendly check-in, answered all my questions, friendly staff, seamless check-out. Ample free parking on the ICW side of Gulf Blvd.The room was fantastic: color scheme, bath amenities, beds, pillows, bedding, towels, fridge, microwave, storage, sink, in-room safe, plantation blinds, cold AC, lighting, ceiling fan. Very well done! (TV was great, too - just didn't watch it, because BEACH!!! :-) )The grounds are beautiful. clean, great pool, chaise loungers, HAMMOCK!!!, tables, shade, grills, beach, all perfect. Beautiful new landscaping.Close to restaurants, but far enough away to have a quiet, after dinner, evening.We'll be back

You will see some bad reviews of this place - ignore them and book. Staff is friendly, our 1 bedroom off the courtyard super clean, cool, and quiet, and great value! Truly a little gem. We grilled our dinner on one of three large propane grills, had coffee on beach chairs and watched the waves, and dived into the 8ft deep pool. I adore the garden in the courtyard! Only issue is sparse decor and no dresser in the bedroom - other than that, love this place and will be back!Rooms: Updated, clean, and breezy. Sparse on decor and could use a dresser in the bedroom.

Please read the 1 and 2 star reviews before booking this motel, I wish I had before we stayed here. Almost all of them reference poor customer service and unclean rooms. I stayed here with my family and checked out the very next morning and requested a refund (as other reviews notated) but the front desk employee refused to do so. Once we left, we attempted to follow up but did not receive a response. I would highly recommend other beach from hotels.
