Del Mar Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great time there and will be back. I appreciated not being charged for parking overnight and beach umbrella or chairs for the beach. We had to pay for parking in a lot across the street because they do have limited parking, but they take it off your bill when checking out! Super nice staff with complementary coffee and filtered water in lobby to fill up carafe."
