Great service and value, this place ROCKS!!!

I just completed a 2 night stay at the Solomar and couldn't be happier!
I'll start with the staff. I can't believe that the previous poster and I actually stayed at the same Hotel Solamar as our experiences seem to be polar opposites. They were all very friendly, helpful and actually seemed to take pride in their jobs! This started the moment we exited our cab (Even though we arrived prior to 8:00 A.M., check in is at 3:00 P.M.) with the doorman and continued with EVERY employee we encountered for the duration of our stay. The people at the front desk were all very friendly and helpful with local info. When I requested a coffee maker from housekeeping it arrived at our door (With a smile) in about 5 minutes.
The rooms decor was very relaxing and had everything I needed from internet access to one of the most comfortable beds I've ever had in a hotel. In fact, it was comfortable to the point that I'll be replacing my own bed within the month. The linens were all of superior quality and seemed to be almost new. In the cleanliness department the only fault I could find would be the windows (This is nit picking as I have been told it had recently rained), other than that the place was immaculate to the point that there weren't even any watermarks in the tub, sink or on any of the fixtures.
The other 2 things I'd like to cover is the location (PERFECT!!) and the construction noise. In short, there wasn't any even though there were 3 active construction sites visible within a couple of blocks of my room (520). When I had the window closed the outside world just seemed to disappear.
I will definitively be visiting this property again.
