I've stayed at this hotel many times and it never disappoints me! The staff is terrific - the accommodations are comfortable and clean. I highly recommand you stay here while in Del Mar, California
Great location with good parking. I enjoyed the walk to Beacon Park and Grandview beach access points. (Both have long steep descents; people with mobility challenges may need to drive to get to easier access.) Nice clean room with kitchenette. Friendly staff.
Very nice, clean. Loved that the bathroom light would turn on as you walked towards it. Shower was amazing. Ac/heater worked well and wifi was great! Microwave wasn't in the room but on the deck which was easy to get to. Wish it was warmer to swim in the pool! Loved the restaurants and things to do around the area and in walking distance. Would def stay at again!
Amazing hotel with incredibly friendly and helpful staff, awesome cove location, and ultra comfy rooms! I stayed in the Grand Room with a wonderful view!
GREAT location and lots of options! Stayed for 5 nights with my daughters, aged 12 - 20 and this was perfect for all of us. The bay is great for lying on the sand and paddleboarding was a blast. The pool is relaxing and service is good. Extremely short walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. We walked to the beach for sunset everynight.
Ive stayed in hostels all over the US and I have to say this is by far and away the best hostel Ive ever stayed in. The service, amenities, community of people, the beach, the restaurants and bars etc, are perfect for the sea loving traveler. Highly recommend if you want to experience a true hostel beach life.
So convenient. Drove in from Vegas. Parked the car and never had to move it again because dining is within walking distance. The staff was amazing. Great customer service. Also convenient they have beach chairs, umbrella, body boards that are complimentary to guests. I would stay here again
Staff was great the place was great! Me and my wife didn't know what to expect. Our first time booking at a hotel by the beach and was speechless! Definitely coming back next time!
My husband and I went for a little weekend getaway and the hotel was lovely. We had an ocean view room with a big balcony. It was surprisingly quiet. You can walk everywhere, we left our car parked the whole time. The hotel staff is so friendly!!
My wife and I just spent 3 nights here for our Anniversary. The view from the living room and balcony was incredible. When we arrived our keys and paperwork were ready for us. we spent about 1 minute in the lobby signing in and receiving our keys before they took us on a quick tour to show us around the property and then escorted us to the room. The room was stocked with a variety of snacks and drinks. The snacks were simple single serve items like pretzels, cookies, chips and granola bars....
