We stayed one night and chose this property for its advertised “on the beach” location. Unfortunately, it did not meet expectations for the price.

The room was decent but outdated, with no air conditioning. To get airflow, you must open doors/windows, but there are no screens, so bugs come in. Privacy is also limited, as people from the nearby park can see directly inside.

A major issue was the train, which runs every 10–20 minutes and is very loud. Since the tracks sit between the property and the ocean—and windows must stay open—you hear it constantly.

The property is not truly “on the beach.” A railroad track and cliff separate it from the ocean, and beach access requires walking through a nearby park. While not far, this feels misleading.

Additional drawbacks included no breakfast or on-site dining, limited laundry (2 machines), cleanliness issues (cobwebs), and construction noise disclosed only after booking a non-refundable stay.

Checkout expectations (taking out trash, loading dishwasher, etc.), along with a tip envelope and reminder text, felt excessive.

While the kitchen was nice and the beach is nearby, the stay did not justify the cost and felt misleading overall.

Great place to stay in Del Mar! We are in Del Mar not infrequently for soccer tournaments. Not sure how we’ve never stayed here before. A bit dated, but tons of space, friendly staff, plenty of towels, directly on the beach, easy parking, walkable to all the cute shops and restaurants, and reasonably priced considering location and size of the apartment. Will absolutely book here again.

Reception isnt 24/24 like written on Expedia. No one was at the resort when we arrived even if we said we would arrive for check in late.

Coffee maker was leaking heavily.

Mattress was sagging.

View from room was on a garbage bin.

Dishwasher wasn't working.

TV speaker was blown. They changed it after 4 days.

There is a train with horn every 20 mins or so.

I booked this room but they had issues with the room so they gave me a different property: Carsbad Inn which they had only one room. The Carlsbad room was noisy and was on the first floor with street viewno ocean view. I complained about the room but was not given was told they didn't have any other room. They did not let me know about issues with the room until I arrived at the property and learned about the issue. Their front desk person in Del Mar told me their that their reservation people would call. It told them about an hour to call to offer me the Carlsbad location.

Loved waking up with an ocean view. Back patio area to sit and enjoy the view and next to a park, so not looking into another building or window. Poll was heated, so able to swim in the morning, sit in the jacuzzi before checking out.

The only surprise was the train track goes right by the beach front, so you could hear the crossing horns every couple hours throughout the night. I think you'd get used to that if staying longer.

The room was filled with ants and other bugs which I have pictures and videos to prove, and they fasly represented the room making it seem like it would be an ocean front room with a patio, and it was nothing like that. There was no patio or view of the water from the room. Then they wanted to keep telling me about going to their tiny pool like that’s going to make up for what we walked into on my wife’s birthday. She was very disturbed by the conditions of the room and even further infuriated by the gentleman at the front desk offering us to come and spray bug spray in the room. Then the gentleman at the front desk went as far as blaming the false representation of the room on Expedia and not the hotel, taking no ownership at all. Overall it was a terrible experience for the 15 minutes we stayed there. We ended up leaving and they still won’t refund us.

We live in San Diego but had a water leak at home and decided to get away for a night locally. The location is unparalleled. The view was amazing and the 2 bedroom condo was perfect (more than enough room) for 2 adults and 2 kids. The staff was so sweet and friendly and available. 10/10 would recommend.

nice view of the waves and ocean

very quiet and comfortable. everything was very clean.
Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes, wine glasses, pots, and paper towels. The trains didn't bother us at all. Only a few go by each day and they're short passenger trains, so not very noisy.
I was surprised that we had a nice view of the ocean from our upstairs apt. And Del Mar is such a nice little town.

Really enjoyed my stay here. It's the perfect location, and a great value. Love being so close to the ocean, as well as a short walk to the bars & restaurants. Everyone on staff was friendly, and the facilities were clean. My only gripe was that our bed in the studio was old and extremely uncomfortable. The bed frame was so noisy we had a hard time sleeping because any time you move around, the bed creaks very loudly. Our pillows were also pretty small. I would love to return, but the bed frame and mattresses really need to be updated. .

A compound of seaside cottages linked together by paths and beautiful landscaping, with breathtaking views of the crashing surf below. Our “room” for 2 was actually a one bedroom one bath cottage with Livingston and kitchen. The pool was adequately sized and gated and locked to prevent inadvertent entry by unaccompanied children. We arrived 2 hours before check in but were given a parking pass and entry to the pool area and use of the grounds. Couldn’t imagine a better place for location and comfort.

Location, location, location. Property is within walking distance to many dining options, shops and beach. Sunset at the property is breathtaking. Property is extremely clean. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Room was a bit outdated yet no concerns. Will be back.

The resort is not directly on the beach. You have a large hill down to the railroad tracks then an even larger cliff down to the beach. You have to walk to the local park to be able to have beach access. Also the pictures are deceiving as only a few rooms have the patio area overlooking the water. There are many rooms that have no ocean view - sadly this is where our two rooms were. Also if you book through Expedia they may make you move rooms if your stay is not Sunday to Sunday. The day before we were to check out they called and said we needed to move rooms, we were told Expedia at times books two rooms since it’s different weeks. After much discussion we did not move but it was a disruption of our vacation. The hot tub was also closed most of our stay. A few things that the area does offer is a dog friendly beach, walking trail along the train tracks and a lot of good restaurants.

Beautiful location the best ever

I’ve always wanted to stay away is crest it was really beautiful. Although I didn’t like the location of my room because it was on the street side and I couldn’t even open up my blinds. That’s my only complaint

Not ADA friendly

The room was not ready at check in and a serious issue was left unresolved even a week after checkout. Staff and management were painfully unaware of their duties under the ADA. The property might be grandfathered (exempt from certain ADA requirements), but the business is not. Easily avoidable mistakes were made that caused harm. I do not recommend this place for anyone who has a mobility-related disability.

Not all units with ocean view as in the photo

I would like to give all stars for this hotel, if I have gotten the condo unit exactly with the ocean view as an in the photo. When I arrived to the hotel I got condo unit inside the hotel almost in front of the road instead of beachfront. The manager said that all beachfront units are ordered by regular visitors. However, there is no option to choose beachfront unit when you book it.

Ready to move in!

Studio unit overlooked parking lot - very quiet and ocean view from living room/dining room. This studio was spacious and clean. I loved it so much I'd love to move in permanently!
