Malcolm X Library and Performing Arts Center

Staff was kind and helpful, the hotel does give a bit of a motel experience but if you aren’t interested in amenities then this is the place for you.

This is a tough review for me because there is nothing negative to say. The staff is really great, everywhere is very clean, and there are an abundance of things to do. We stayed in a Villa suite and it was comfortable. I especially like that the bathrooms have real doors and separate door for the toilet. That’s important when you have family staying together. The pools are small and the slides are best for kiddos under 10. I think it’s super affordable. The decor is dated and the vibe is super quiet all around so nothing really stands out. If you’re from out of town, I wouldn’t say it’s the most convenient location, but if you are looking to do a staycation and get out of the city, then it’s great.

We only stayed one night, but it was great and a short 10 minute walk to the Del Mar Fair entrance. Very convenient if you're planning a trip to the fair.
