Ooh la la - felt like a mini getaway right in Del Mar!…read more I've been here a few times when I didn't want to drive too far and wanted a fancy schmancy hangout! PROS: - Perfect location day or night - quick walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants - Popular spot for bougie food or European style gelato and surprisingly even Mexican eats. - Sunsets are my weakness, but here it's even more special especially from the lobby - it's unreal and literally GLOWS! - Love coming during the evening when you have no major plans and this spot was lively! - Great for people-watching so grab a drink and enjoy the show! CHEERS! - Living room bar had live music and great vibes! Feel free to dance it off as well. - Staff and valet team were friendly and on point. - Restrooms were well-maintained and clean. - Decor is dreamy, relaxing, and very Euro-chic! CONS: - Ocean view is hit or miss depending on where you're situated. If you have a balcony you'll have the full effect. - Drinks are PRICEY (go figure!) but hey worth it-sh LOL - Gets crowded and and maybe rowdy. Some days seem chill and others not so chill. So if loud noise is not your jam on busy nights, you may have to pass. OVERALL: 4 stars for great vibes and just a beautiful spot!

"I prefer you stay at our pet friendly sister property, does that work?", when I chose this property specifically. Then I was told that, "this is not a pet friendly hotel, no ESA, only service animals..."

" you have to fill out a form, are you okay with that?". I couldn't continue the conversation politely and bid him a good day.

It's hard to imagine a better location for a hotel in Del Mar. It was right on the beach as…read moreadvertised, tons of active beach goers, surfers, dog walkers, joggers, teens at lifeguard school, you name it -- all sorts of active lifestyles without it feeling too crowded. The parking lot isn't huge so the first night we had to park in the metered lot next door, but they reimburse you for any parking fees. I was however able to find parking the next two days. They even gave me a courtesy call saying they noticed my car in the other lot and to remind me to move it by a specific time. I had already set my alarm to move it, but that was nice. The lobby has free coffee/ espresso machine and a dispenser for purified water. They provide beach towels and efficient room service. The rooms themselves are pretty comfortable, but we had someone above us that walked back and forth non stop which was a bit annoying. I mean it's just one room and a bathroom how much walking do you need to do lol. When you go out your door, you just walk a down the little walkway to the beach. Everyone is barefoot it's so close. They have little areas to rinse off your feet and also a brush hanging outside your door handle to brush the excess sand off, cute touch. The beach viewing lounge area (pictured) is nice, people hang out there and drink their coffee or work on their laptops. I had one suggestion, and that would be to build a platform deck for the back seats, because it would give them an unobstructed view. As it is now, the wall blocks some of your view, but putting a platform deck would solve that and be relatively inexpensive to do. We would totally stay here again, it's walking distance to several good restaurants and a short drive to more. Relaxed, friendly vibe. The lobby itself

We booked with Hilton San Diego/Del Mar, and the team was extremely considerate of our complex hotel bookings and room changes. We loved that the hotel has a pool, a hot tub (very nice), and a restaurant for all three meals of the day. The secure locked parking lot is worth it for our peace of mind and all the rental cars. Since we used to live in the area, we knew it was full of restaurants and fun things to do on the coast. Our week long wedding trip was defintely highlighted by this nice hotel!

Would not stay here again. The hotel itself feels rundown. Our initial room had a steady stream of…read moreants on the furniture, and some spotted in the bathroom. After returning from our day out and accepting the ant problem was not getting better, we called to change rooms. After being told by the front desk person they would look into it and call us back in a few minutes, we waited over 30 minutes then walked to the front desk where we couldn't be ignored. To then wait another 30 minutes to get a new room, delay was due to something wrong with the "system". The manager Tina (who is very friendly, if not fully effective) said she would put some Marriott Bonvoy points in my account for the trouble - the least I would expect for moving us from a double to a single and making us wait over an hour at 9pm for this change due to a pest issue in their room. Now, 3+ weeks later and multiple calls to the hotel - I do not have any bonus points nor even a call back. As much as I'd like to say the staff makes up for the state of the property, which is what I wanted to say by the time I wrote this, there does not seem to be a desire from the team to make things right, here's my honest assessment from our experience there.

Upkeep seems very good. The pool area is really nice. Great for relaxing - after a relaxing day at the beach! They have a little cafe where you can get drinks and some food. There's also a hot tub. The location is awesome - about a 15 minute walk into the heart of Del Mar and maybe a 20 minute walk to Del Mar Beach. Parking appeared to be ample and seemed safe behind the hotel. It is on a busy road (not a highway, but there's a lot of traffic going by during the day). Our room faced the pool and the road was on the other side. The room was well insulated and I believe the sliding glass door was double pained so when you shut it, it really blocked out the noise well. If you prefer a quieter view, opt for the oceanside rooms. They are priced a little more and not spectacular because they face the parking lot and some other buildings and then the ocean. But it's quieter on that side. Either way, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

There was hair all over the bathroom floor and the toilet was constantly running. We went back to the front desk and they moved us to another room without any issue. The second room was completely fine and much cleaner. To make up for the inconvenience, they offered us free breakfast, which was a nice gesture. However, they only gave us one voucher even though there were two of us staying in the room, which felt a little odd. The staff throughout the stay were friendly and helpful, and they were able to accommodate a late checkout for us, which we appreciated. Overall, the first room situation wasn't great, but the staff handled it well and the rest of the stay was smooth
