    We were surprised at how tiny the room was. The pictures were deceiving! It supposedly had an ocean view but that was a teeny tiny corner of the window. The bathroom was smaller than an airplane bathroom including a shower. The worst part was that we were stung by ants all night long. They were everywhere! An infestation in multiple places in the room. Upon checking out and showing the clerk the numerous ant bites on my arms and neck she angrily said they were from my dog who had fleas. Our dog does not have fleas! As a doctor, I know the difference in what an ant and flea bite look like. We saw over 100 ants in the room and on the bed covers. She accused me of not telling them we had a dog despite showing her a receipt that I paid $50.00 the night before to the man who owns the hotel. When I asked to speak to him she said he was gone for the day. Don’t stay in this dump!

    Horrible…no amenities..never ever been to such a horrible hotel..no ice at facility, ants in room, flies in room when arrived.! Gentleman told me to go across Highway 101 to liquor store to buy ice…pathetic! I would like at least a partial refund for the danger this event subjected to me!!!! Amazing…disgusting!

    Great place!!!

    One of the highlights was the friendly gentleman at the front desk, who was welcoming, easy to work with, and made check-in and our stay hassle-free. The location is hard to beat. It's right in the heart of Del Mar, with restaurants, shops, and the beach all within easy walking distance. We barely had to use our car all weekend, which made the trip even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable place in an excellent location rather than a luxury resort, this hotel is a great value. We'd definitely stay here again.

    Staff at check in were slow for check in (4pm) when myself and 4 other guests all waiting exactly at 4pm. Upon arrival at 3pm, I was feeling sick from 48 hours of international travel. We were kept waiting in lobby until 4pm check in - no offer of any water or anything else. Upon check in, I urgently needed a bathroom and staff threatened to not allow my PAID room to secure my reservation because I did not have my physical credit card. I was upset about this not expecting any issues since the room was fully paid. I was told that my “energy was bad and I was not welcome to stay at the hotel.” I would not be allowed to check in without my physical credit card. Staff said they needed it for verification although all payment was made. No breakfast, bad coffee. I will never stay at this hotel again.

    It’s very clean and comfortable. Would have liked a vending machine for bottled water.

    This was such an amazing spot for a weekend staycation. We got the Premium King Suite and it was perfect. Lots of space on the patio, a bbq pit, a firepit, AND an exclusive hot tub! We could not have asked for a better spot away from the hustle of LA city life.

    Very charming "handmade" rooms each decorated with the theme of a particular modern artist. Just a lovely novel homey atmosphere.
