My family really enjoys staying at the Del Mar Motel mostly because it is right on the beach. You can get up early and go walking along the ocean. You can listen to the waves at night lull you to sleep. The rooms are very adequate. Nice having a frig and micro, especially for longer stays. It is close to... More

I took my fiance for a d- stress weekend. She started her business last year and she has not been able to take a day off. I decided to surprise her with a weekend of relaxation at the beach. Friday night began watching the most excellent sunset I have ever seen. I was born in Cali and have family here... More

This is my second time at Del Mar Beach Hotel but my first time to review them . You cannot beat the price for the view. The rooms are clean and comfy and staff are really friendly and found eager to please. The hotel is small but i really like the feel of it versus some of the 300 room... More

Stayed here for four nights. Amenities are basic, i.e. bed, bathroom, parking.So, be prepared to spend your time on the beach or in Del Mar.But everything worked, the room service cleaned well, the plumbing worked, etc. Beach access is immediate and wonderful.

First the good: this motel is right on the beach in Del Mar and is an easy walk from the cute shops and restaurants of the village of Del Mar. Now the not-so-good: I am outside on the balcony on the opposite side of the motel from my room because the free wireless internet is too weak to connect inside... More

First of all: I had read all previous reviews and thought I knew what I was getting into. Yes, there is a train that runs right past the motel. Yes, the motel is a bit run down. I realized all that when I made my reservations and paid almost $300 per night. I realized I was paying to be on... More
