Top The Sound Hotel Reviews

Del Mar Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Being right next to the beach is a huge plus. The room itself was nothing special, but it was perfectly fine for our stay. Parking is probably the biggest challenge. When I first arrived around 4pm on weekday, I couldn’t find any available spaces in the hotel parking lot, and there were only a few street parking spots nearby. I ended up getting lucky and found a spot at the hotel. The staff did mention that if I couldn’t find one, they would cover the cost of street parking, although I’m not sure if they meant the full amount. Overall, we had a great stay and really enjoyed the location."
