Nice place

Nice little gem of a spot. The studio isnt too bad. Got the job done for a little mom and dad get away. Staff was cool and you can walk to almost any place (weather permitting) it was raining during our stay.

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.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
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.

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.

Disliked: Communication
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.
