Take a stroll to the beach or relax at the property's rooftop pool if you want to stay away from the sand and the crowds. Some of the guest rooms offer balconies and spacious accommodations. Rooms are spacious and well-appointed at this inn, which is set back slightly from the noise of the highway it rests upon.
Smoke free premises. 80 units. 3 stories, interior corridors. Accessibility (Call).
Pros: Two good queen size bed, comfortable covers and pillows, sitting area. Comfortable rather small spa, very close to meeting site in Del Mar.
Cons: Mediocre breakfast buffet; rugs and hallways rather grungy.

Pros:
Cons: Hotel staff unresponsive to guests partying late night in their room. Could not sleep. We were informed they had a right to do so as they paid for the room.
Room was outdated and in need of updating. Sofa bed was sagging and completely uncomfortable. Holes in sofa itself.
Patio was full of spider webs.
Hotel cannot be recommended except that it is close to the beach.

Pros: When we arrived, I couldn't remember quite why I had booked here, as from the outside a bit of a non descript place from the main road. Soon realised though that it is literally 5 minutes from a great beach. Breakfast was fine, and loved the press button pancake maker. Lots of parking. Lived up perfectly well to what you might expect, and possibly a little better.

Pros: That there was a breakfast included in the price of the hotel.
The rooms were quiet and comfortable, didn't hear people in the hallways
Cons: There could have been a better variety in the choice of fruit, eggs and meat for breakfast.
The guaranteed low price with Bookings.com didn't happen. When I checked in and told the desk person that my rate had changed and that we had been given a lower price, that price wasn't honored and I was billed the original reservation price. Still waiting for that to get resolved!

Pros: The breakfast selection was outstanding. I especially liked the older gentleman that worked in the dining room on Friday. June 17th and Monday, June 20th. I am on a walker and he was so helpful!
My disappointment was not having a handicap room as they only had single beds. I am 71 and was travelling with a 45 year old daughter and we certainly had no desire to share a bed. Even with the safety rails, it was very difficult to lift my leg over the tub.
It was the first time to have pillows that said "firm" or "soft".
You need more explicit instructions on working the television. I had to call the front desk for help (heaven forbid that I would miss the last two Warrior games!)
Jan Wilson
Cons: Look above about the Handicap room arrangements and the TV. The fitness room - stationary bicycle seat would not adjust and was unable to move seat back to ride it. I reported it to the front desk.

Pros: Situated in a nice neighborhood and in easy walking distance to the beautiful beach. Very nice and spacious room with king bed and balcony, large refrigerator, microwave etc. Very good breakfast buffet, friendly and very helpful staff. Good parking. Easy walking to many restaurants, you almost do not need your car during the stay.
Cons: Tiny pool only. View from balcony not overwhelming (just on the parking lot). Grounds of hotel are rather charmless except some trees. In fact, it is a intown property next to City Hall. Wifi needs frequent log-in. Bathroom nicely, but only superficially remodeled (paint if falling off on bathtube, door etc.). A little expensive for the general appearance.
