Hilton San Diego/Del Mar
My stay was really comfortable, the check-in process was really easy. The service there was great and the hotel was maintained and clean. Its a close driving distance to One Paseo and a lot of restaurants and the beach. They're also kid-friendly and the restaurant had good food. Thank you!

The Seabird Ocean Resort & Spa, Part of Destination Hotel by Hyatt
It started with a smile and a warm welcome from Suede as we checked in. The room was perfect for the grandparents and our two grandsons. Piper, the restaurant, was delicious, with great ambiance, and the amazing cocktails from the Shoreroom were a highlight. We will return!
