A 24-hour reception greets guests of this hotel. A private garden courtyard is available for guest relaxation. Free bicycle rentals, beach chairs and beach towels are provided for convenience.

The location is perfect, walking distance to many coffee shops, restaurants, supermarkets etc. in a very pretty neighbourhood. The room was large and comfortable and very clean with a nice bathroom. The light breakfast was very good - especially liked the fresh fruit plate and yogurt. The outdoor courtyard area is quiet and pleasant and the Friday evening 'Happy Hour' with wine, cheese and fruit was a nice surprise! The staff were all extremely helpful, friendly and welcoming. Sorry I didn't get any of their names but all, including the cleaning staff, were lovely.

Facing the Pacific Ocean in Del Mar California, this beachfront motel offers guest parking, a picnic area and use of beach amenities. Each guest room includes a 60-inch cable TV. The Del Mar Fairgrounds are 7 minutes’ drive away.

Situated right on the beachfront, the location can’t be beat. The staff were very helpful and allowed us to store our luggage as we arrived early via Uber. Comfy bed and the room was quiet. Great features such as filtered water and espresso machines and an honesty bar too. The outdoor lounge area with music is such a nice touch. The nearby grassy knoll park to the south is gorgeous too.

    This hotel is on the beach. There is nice area with sunbeds and chillin with ocean view. Beach is long so you can enjoy long walks. In the hotel you can borrow surfs, boogie boards for free. Hotel is next to the lifeguard headquarter so you can feel very safe. Nice places to eat are in walking distance.

    The location couldn't be better, right on the beachfront. The staff were exceptional and improved the whole experience, hosting on average two events each day to take part in, which was particularly useful for solo travellers to meet new people.
