Outstanding customer service! The staff went above and beyond throughout our stay, and when my daughter accidentally left her AirPods behind, they tracked them down through the laundry company and returned them the next day. Truly exceptional service—we’ll definitely be back!

OMG! The hidden gem in the middle of all of the action. Walking distance to restaurants, prime shopping, etc. Everything has been updated. To top it off, you are 20 steps to the ocean. Everything is clean, and they have chairs, towels, umbrellas, surf boards, kids boogie boards and kids sand toys, all included! Just borrow and return daily. The deck chairs, tables and lounge chairs are a bonus as well. We will definitely be back!

What a fabulous little hotel right on the beach in Del Mar! Our rooms were perfect - they were very clean and had everything we needed - even a brush on the outside of the door for brushing the sand off of our feet before we went into our rooms. The staff was amazing - they were constantly going out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. We loved having access to the hotel beach towels and boogie boards, and also enjoyed the patio at the back of the hotel where we could lounge and watch the waves or the sunset without actually being on the beach. We also really enjoyed having a fabulous espresso machine available at all times in the lobby. The hotel is located near some restaurants and a beautiful park, and about about a 1/4-mile walk from downtown. We had an amazing stay and will definitely be back! Thank you!!

Was here for my husband’s 60th birthday. We stayed for one night only but we had a great experience overall. From check-in to check-out the next day, everything was seamless. We borrowed the boogie board for our teen son and he enjoyed the beach more with hubby.
Very clean room with a comfy king bed and a good size sleeper sofa for our son. Adults got Rose for welcome drinks. Walkable to great restos and dessert places.
Staff were very efficient and accommodating.
Great location - beachfront hotel. Watch the sunset by their patio with lounge chairs and umbrellas.
We would love to be back!

My husband and I wanted a beachside getaway to celebrate our 25th, and the Hotel Del Mar did not disappoint.
We were greeted in the cheerful lobby by an enthusiastic front desk person who offered up complimentary rosé.
The room was simple and clean. My only criticism is the less than fluffy pillows, thin towels and the door the bathroom door that didn’t quite latch. There was an in room keurig, but we preferred the fancy complimentary coffee machine in the lobby. Side note - there was also a “bar” with a brewer and wine for sale. There was no bottled water but there was a pitcher that you could bring to the lobby for purified water.
The back patio was right there in the beach. It featured plenty of loungers and high chairs facing the water. There was a ledge in front of the high chairs where we enjoyed little sunset picnics. My only criticism here - if you wanted the loungers you might be looking at the backs of the people in the high chairs.
Beyond the ideal proximity to the water, the hotel itself is located within walking distance to the park and a main drag with tons of restaurants. Our favorite was An’s Hat Shop - the best ice cream ever!
There was plenty of parking and we were so close to Solana Beach and Encinitas as well. Such quaint beach towns without any over crowding!
There is a local train that passes but we barely noticed it when we were in our room. If you are looking for a romantic beach getaway this is the place!

It was our first time staying at the Del Mar Beach Hotel, and overall it was a great experience. The hotel staff was friendly, professional, and provided excellent communication throughout our stay. The location is absolutely amazing—you are right on a beautiful beach with stunning ocean views. There is also a great restaurant next door, making it very convenient for dining.
The only thing that surprised us was that parking is somewhat limited, but it was manageable and did not significantly affect our stay.
Overall, we highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again. It is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway.

Wonderful quick stay on the beach. The rooms are recently updated, nice thick towels and fresh robes in the room. The only thing to be mindful of is it is flanked by parking lots and this will produce the occasional noise, and the water pressure in the shower is very low. I would stay here again, location, location, location!!

First time staying at this hotel.
Pros: location and convenience. You can’t beat the location of this hotel. It is right on the beach and next to restaurants and amenities are convenient
Cons: did not have a good nights sleep. Our first night we were on the first floor. Maybe because it is an old hotel. We could hear the guests upstairs walking all night. I was woken up by footsteps in the middle of the night and everything they dropped.
The office was so nice to move us to a room on the second floor. But we were woken up by our loud TV and talking at 1am. That lasted over an hour.
The walls and floors are too thin. I never stayed at a hotel were I didn’t sleep through the night. I would rather have some sleep and be at a hotel farther away.

This is a very basic hotel. It is on the beach but there are no amenities. Ok there's a coffee machine. There are a few dinner restaurants close by but for everything else you have to go to town. Yes you can walk but who wants to do that for every breakfast? If you come with a car and a cooler you might enjoy it. Be sure to stay on the side facing another property - otherwise you are next to the public parking lot where the surfers etc gather. Add in the garbage truck and the commuter train. I am not sure why it got a high rating. I would give it a 4.

We did not have a view of the beach but the view from the patio was great. The staff was very friendly. It was also great to have two excellent restaurants just next door. The location was also a plus: near our friends in Del Mar Heights and not far from UCSD.

A concern was the noisy bathroom fan and refrigerator. It would have been perfect if one could turn those off and have real silence.

We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. With easy access to the beach, and beach chairs available through the front desk.
The property is definitely set up like a motel, because it was…. but with that said there’s adequate room in this space, but lacks any way to store food or beverage unless you have a cooler with you

Parking is very limited. They do graciously offer to reimburse you if you have to pay for offsite parking. They have a few sundries in the lobby , but the cappuccino machine was broken for our entire stay.

It’s great location right at beach. The staff is excellent explaining everything you need during your stay. They provide beach chairs and towel which is very good. The king room is great size and clean, bed is excellent too. But I didn’t like the shower with single side glass and nothing on the other side which make it difficult for me to enjoy my shower after a long day, I felt cold every time I shower. Also the mirror light cannot switch off, I don’t know why. it bothers me a lot during my sleeping time. Parking also tight, there’s very limited parking spots compared to the number of units

Great location, right on the beach! All the staff were super nice and accommodating. The parking was limited but the hotel was accommodating. They also provide beach chairs, towels, an umbrella all included with your stay. They also had bikes but we didnt get to use them. Close to shops and a park with a playground with some of the best views! If you have kids, they will love seeing the Coastal train go by while at the playground. We got coffee and breakfast at Better Buzz and Harrys, so good! You can go back to the park to picnic too! Poseidon restaurant next to the hotel was really good too, their service was amazing. We cant wait to come back!

Beautiful beach hotel! With everything you need to relax or play with on the beach ⛱️.
We were on the first floor and the people above us sounded like they were moving furniture! I'll request upstairs in the future.

We had a nice room on the beach side. The ambiance and location combined with the renovated room were outstanding. An ice machine, good on site parking, a restaurant 10 yards away was great and vibrant. We would go back in a heartbeat. Most places in the area were not on the beach! We have traveled the world but the is nothing more exquisite than on the beach with restaurants etc.!
