Top Del Mar Hotel Reviews

Hotel Indigo San Diego Del Mar by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, great location. Love it!"

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."

Hilton San Diego/Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"Would be nice to have free coffee for the guest downstairs"

Seascape by AvantStay | Spacious Contemporary Oasis in Del Mar

8/10 Good

"We had a good stay overall. The house was comfortable, spacious, and worked well for our group. Everything was generally as expected and we enjoyed our time there.There were a couple of minor issues during our stay. The downstairs shower had a loose temperature control and we weren’t able to use it because the water was coming out very hot, and the trash was already full when we arrived. These didn’t have a major impact on our stay, but were worth noting.Overall, a solid and comfortable place to stay, especially for a larger group."

"Perfect Family Reunion:This 2-story Townhome was clean & spacious. It is an end unit, very peaceful & private. Excellent communication with host. The attached garage can hold two cars, we were provided with a garage opener in addition to access code. Enjoyed espresso in the mornings just down the street and many local great restaurants to walk to. The pool and tennis courts were well maintained - host offered us tennis equipment, couldn't squeeze it in with all our other activities. We made it to the Torrey Pines beach across the street, there were chairs, towels and umbrellas in the unit. Overall, we loved this place - great for couples, families and kids. Great host too!"

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We would definitely return to this property! It is a great location super close to the beach. The house is very comfortable and clean! It appears newly remodeled and they did a beautiful job. The upstairs living room and kitchen area is bright with lots of natural light and you can see the ocean from the kitchen sink. There is lots of space with additional upstairs deck with table and seating off of the kitchen. It was also quiet. No loud train sound and only the very occasional car from the road behind if it was a loud motorcycle or sports car. Other than that, we didn't really notice the road."
