    Wonderful quick stay on the beach. The rooms are recently updated, nice thick towels and fresh robes in the room. The only thing to be mindful of is it is flanked by parking lots and this will produce the occasional noise, and the water pressure in the shower is very low. I would stay here again, location, location, location!!

    Pros: location and convenience. You can’t beat the location of this hotel. It is right on the beach and next to restaurants and amenities are convenient Cons: did not have a good nights sleep. Our first night we were on the first floor. Maybe because it is an old hotel. We could hear the guests upstairs walking all night. I was woken up by footsteps in the middle of the night and everything they dropped. The office was so nice to move us to a room on the second floor. But we were woken up by our loud TV and talking at 1am. That lasted over an hour. The walls and floors are too thin. I never stayed at a hotel were I didn’t sleep through the night. I would rather have some sleep and be at a hotel farther away.

    This is a very basic hotel. It is on the beach but there are no amenities. Ok there's a coffee machine. There are a few dinner restaurants close by but for everything else you have to go to town. Yes you can walk but who wants to do that for every breakfast? If you come with a car and a cooler you might enjoy it. Be sure to stay on the side facing another property - otherwise you are next to the public parking lot where the surfers etc gather. Add in the garbage truck and the commuter train. I am not sure why it got a high rating. I would give it a 4.

    I adored this hotel and I will definitely be coming back here. They let me have my dog and it’s conveniently located on a beach and only 0.9 miles from a dog beach in Del Mar that was also lovely. The hotel was modern and nicely decorated, the staff was friendly, and I loved it overall.

The hotel was very clean(don't forget it's in front of the beach and dog friendly) and it was spotless. They also offer delicious coffee from an espresso machine free to their guests, that was amazing!! But the best of all it's the entire staff, I have never ever had this great experience at any hotel, it's not just some of the staff that were nice, every single one of them were absolutely pleasant, genuinely nice and helpful. This place is a true gem!! Nothing.

    It’s great location right at beach. The staff is excellent explaining everything you need during your stay. They provide beach chairs and towel which is very good. The king room is great size and clean, bed is excellent too. But I didn’t like the shower with single side glass and nothing on the other side which make it difficult for me to enjoy my shower after a long day, I felt cold every time I shower. Also the mirror light cannot switch off, I don’t know why. it bothers me a lot during my sleeping time. Parking also tight, there’s very limited parking spots compared to the number of units

Close to shops and a park with a playground with some of the best views! If you have kids, they will love seeing the Coastal train go by while at the playground. We got coffee and breakfast at Better Buzz and Harrys, so good! You can go back to the park to picnic too! Poseidon restaurant next to the hotel was really good too, their service was amazing.

    This is our third time staying here and has become our favorite California vacation spot. This beach front property is so perfect for families who want quick and direct access to the beach. Quick and beautiful walking distance to the village and great restaurants. The rooms were immaculate and so clean. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The complimentary sparkling rosé upon arrival is a nice touch. The complimentary espresso bar is my husband's favorite. My kids appreciate the complimentary boogie boards. We can't wait to come back. Just a few minor suggestions that I think would elevate the hotel would be room darkening shades on the windows that you can pull over the shutters at night. And/or a way to dim or turn off the outdoor porch lights in front of the room. It's so bright. I feel like a curtain would also dampen out the noise of the train. And to work on the water pressure in the showers. Our two rooms water pressure were quite weak. Besides that it's still a 10 out of 10 for us.

    The room was very clean, the front desk people friendly and amenities were great. The beach front patio was a great place to relax and the location was within walking distance to many food options.The only thing that would make this an even better experience was if house keeping did not knock on the door early in the morning (twice) even though the do not disturb sign was hanging on the knob. Otherwise, we would definitely stay here again.

    Great location on the beach in great little coastal town. Pros: location(on beach and near restaurants), nice room with comfortable beds, good coffee/espresso/etc options on site, great spot on back patio with chairs to overlook beach, very clean rooms and property. Cons: parking - limited spots and one day/night we had to pay at metered parking next door and then because we didn’t refill time before 8am received a ticket, only other negative was a minor complaint with the shower head - it’s on top of the ceiling and you can’t adjust it.

  • Barbara Oct 2025 · via hotels.com

    Downfall was parking, it’s a nightmare. Not enough spots for the hotel guests (less parking spaces that rooms.) Across the street they wanted over $100 for parking for 6 hours. There is metered parking next door but it’s like hunger games trying to get a spot.

    I love staying here. Only issue we have is the bathroom shower head. It is one of those "rain" shower heads, horrific. No pressure, trickles. I understand you are upgrading all of them to have a shower head and a wand type as well. Next time I visit, I will call and see if we can get a room with that shower head. Other than that, the place is a dream. Wouldn't stay anywhere else. Staff is the best anywhere. Love the atmosphere and the amenities for the beach. Coffee and the free danishes is so darn good. Also, the Chairs, boogie boards for body surfing, towels. Thank you all for the best place to stay.

    Great location, rooms are fine, but parking is a major issue with not enough spaces for all the guests. We searched half hour before getting lucky the first day, but spend a combined 2+ hours the second day after going out twice. Put a huge damper on our trip, as did the amateur porn shown through the thin walls the first night

    This is a little gem of a hotel and very well run. Looks recently updated. Everyone was nice and more than on top of things. Perfect location. Parking can be a bit tight so we just walked or ubered. Restaurants next door are great. Pizza up the street. Beach etc. The beds and pillows were comfy - rooms a good size. They cleaned the exterior hallways at least twice....had towels and wine and were constantly on top of things. We had a small Expedia issue with the booking and the property manager was above and beyond. We will be back Del Mar Beach hotel!

    This was our second summer visit. Last year was better. The coffee machine was not operating fully - no latte or cappuccino due to milk not working. Location is the selling point along with having all beach gear provided. The water pressure in the shower is very weak, but I guess that forces you to relax, lol. We chose this for my husband last year since he had mobility issues. You can enjoy being on the beach without having to even touch sand due to the huge deck with lots of furniture and umbrellas. Overall, for enjoying the beach with minimal effort, you can’t beat this location in Del Mar.

    Very cute hotel with personable, friendly staff. We loved the warm welcome, including an early check-in, and the seating are with gas fire pits facing the beach. Nice to use boogie boards, beach chairs and towels and bikes as well. The one downside was the parking situation. It was graduation and Father’s Day weekend and incredibly busy in Del Mar, which exacerbated the demand on the small parking lot. There were several times we could not park in the hotel lot, causing us to use the valet next door or street parking, and one time none of those were an option so we had to drive around for an hour and come back. Not ideal, but for everything else that was great, we would definitely stay again.
