Top Del Mar Hotel Reviews

Del Mar Beach Hotel

Del Mar Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This place has a hotel rating of 2 stars (not based on reviews), but should be 5 stars. We only saw bout the two stars after we booked and paid, so were very hesitant to check in. However, we traveled throughout California and stayed at 4 and 5 star hotels. Absolutely none of those hotels came even close in quality to the Del Mar Beach Hotel. Although the property looks like an old fashioned motel, the room and bathroom are clean, spacious and have all the comfort one can wish for. The designers/owners thought of everything that you canNOT come up with. A brush hanging outside your door, to take sand of your feet or shoes, a KEURIG machine with a daily replenishment of coffee and tea pods. Even in the bathroom there are small brown towels for women to use when having makeup on. In the reception area is a coffee machine that makes cappuccino, Espresso Macchiato, Lattes, American Coffee, you name it. Usually that type of machines make coffee that is horrible. This hotel has a mchine that is as good as coffee from Starbucks. In the morning you can buy Croissants and Danish that is fresh. Upon check-in they offer you a glass of pink sparkling wine. WHAT A GREAT PLACE!!!"
