Top Del Mar Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews

Best Western Premier Hotel Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, pleasantly furnished, bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was nice with nice sized walk-in shower, vanity and overall roomy. The small balcony with 2 chairs and a small square table couldn’t fit much more but passing through between room and balcony but was a welcome amenity to have an ocean view and fresh air. The sliding door lock was a piece of work, had to lift the handle end of the door to engage the locking mechanism. The cafe was nice, good food, nice areas to eat inside or out. Staff a bit unknowledgeable about some food items served, which surprised us especially when taste palettes are looking for staying away from certain things. Outdoor spa nice, pool large and up to 6 ft deep. Plenty of parking. We are planning on coming again someday, it is a nice place with friendly staff."
