L'Auberge Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"Staff great. Rooms very nice."

Del Mar Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Was a great place to stay! Location can’t get better! Staff was wonderful! Views amazing!!"

DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego - Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"My one night stay was wonderful. Had a quesadilla and a burger at the Mosaic restaurant and it was DELICIOUS. The pool and jacuzzi area is nice and big and very clean. I appreciate that they have restrooms/an outdoor shower/ and towels for guests. I didn’t use the gym but it looked sufficient. The room was wonderful and I enjoyed being able to sign into my Disney+ account on the TV so I could watch a movie. The beds are some of the comfiest I have stayed in and I travel a ton. Less than 10 minute drive to Torrey Pines beach. Will definitely stay here again when I come back to San Diego."

Winners Circle Solana Beach Del Mar Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were clean and most have fresh paint. Remodel not quite done yet, hope soon. Comfortable bed and pillows. The staff above and beyond ‼️ The pool great and clubhouse and lounge chairs nice."

Cardiff by the Sea Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very cute place to stay. The beds are temperpedic and super comfy. The whole staff was extremely nice and helpful. I’d 100% stay here again."

Les Artistes Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was a really unique property and everyone we encountered was great! The room had a nice quiet and private outdoor space. We were within walking distance of really great restaurants and bars. The walk to the beach was also not bad. We will definitely stay here the next time we’re in Del Mar."

Wave Crest Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Bryce at check in was very helpful and informative. Check in was a breeze thanks to him. We booked a room last minute and it was ready when we arrived. Clean and spacious. A good kitchenette for cooking some meals. Easy parking in the lot. Close to the park and easy to walk to the shore or to eateries along the main road. We’d happily stay here again. Worth noting, there was no AC in our room, which was fine for us. We saw a few ants, so be wary of leaving food out."

Hampton Inn San Diego Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel feels very new and fresh. The staff is very welcoming. I used the gym everyday. The beds are very comfortable and I enjoy the amenities. Location is also very convenient -- right off the high way and also close to the beach. My only complaint might be the breakfast. Need better quality eggs and scrambled eggs? Coffee is actually not bad, for a hotel. Will be staying here again in the fall."
