Staff was great! The room was very neat and the bed was one of the best I’ve ever been in. The elevators and stairs were so far spaced out, it felt like walking a mile just to exit the building. The stairs had little to no signs as it felt like going through the back rooms just to exit the place. Breakfast was awful, there were more flies than there were guests, simple requests for allergies were ignored, buffet was unavailable, hot tub was out of service, pool water felt stale and little chlorine, the carpet in the hallway felt damn and smelled like so the whole stay. Parking was good, except that trying to find your way inside through the maze of the stairs back to your room is a nightmare.
eccellente pulizia , buona colazione,bar con prezzi esagerati

Only 2 small elevators for the entire property. Ordered a drink while at pool & it took 20 minutes. For the price, I'd recommend you stay elsewhere.i won't be back...

Pretty property.
One of the exit gates was broken with no signs telling you that until you reached the broken gate, you had to turn around and drive back to the entrance gate to get out.
No coffee or cups in the room. I called to request some. They arrived several hours later after we’d left for the day.
Great hotel and location! Staff super friendly and helpful. Request near an elevator if you have issues walking, as it’s a large hotel.

Mostly clean except found a towel with makeup on it and the same makeup on the bathroom light switch and wall. Kind of grossed me out although everything else appeared to be clean.
Very nice place our only complaint is the elevators. There’s only 2 and they’re spaced in opposing corners so it’s a long confusing walk to find your room.
The first room had a portable air conditioner and did not cool off properly. So they moved me to a room half the size on the first floor by the noisy pool entrance. The metal gate which was very near my door was noisy and would not lock at night. the bathroom was very small and there was no microwave in the room.
the hotel needs better signage for the lobby, elevators.
The airconditioning was nosier than any other hotel I've been in. the bathroom fan the same...
Check into the room and there was trash and left over boxers in the room. Mistakes happen but then the AC didnt work. We left early. Very disappointing because we love staying in Del Mar.

Room was clean and comfortable. The outside sitting area was nice at night to chill and hangout, although a staff member came through without saying a word to anyone turning off all the fire pits around 9 pm. It would have been nicer if they at least waited until 10 pm. The property is nice but definitely needs some updating and the elevators are very small. For the price we paid for our room I was expecting more.
They were not busy but put me in a freeway view room.The bed was great and the hit tub. parking was additional $25 Not worth it.The automatic gates did not work properly. Overall property is good location good staff but less than average experience.
