The staff was courteous and the hotel was accessible to the freeway, however, the bathroom smelled dingy/wet/moldy from the moment we arrived until checkout. We tolerated it but it was not an ideal situation. Also, I felt $35 for parking was a bit much.
The staff was very nice here. I only had two issues, one being $35 to self-park (vs. $40 for valet), and the other was the strong bleach smell in the first room we were given. After about 15 minutes, my wife and I noticed our eyes were burning so I requested a room change, which was accommodated quickly.
Beyond that, property was clean and amenities were good. Friends who stayed there told me they paid $30 per breakfast which is pretty steep.
Great hotel if you’re attending the Del Mar horse races. It’s across the street and the property was big and beautiful and nice large rooms. Parts of property were outdated but overall it was a great place to stay and friendly staff.
We truly enjoyed our stay here. Our room was super clean, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the staff was wonderful. We will definitely stay here again.
Thank you!!
The other restaurant for dinner was much better, the food was delicious. This one, in my opinion, left something to be desired.

Outdoor venue is wonderful. Rooms are Good, but lack reading lights, Coffee Mugs (not paper cups), Microwave, sliding door (could hardly open), Streaming TV.
Had a terrible meal on News Years ($39 meal way below par, service almost non-existant) Plastic glass given for our water in restaurant/lounge. It was NOT busy, so really no excuses.
The amenities are nice, the front desk staff could take a note from the bar staff in the friendly department- but they're not working for tips. I was a bit floored by the additional fees after booking. Be prepared to pay an additional $50+ per night ON TOP of the portion you already pay for the stay. That was not a fun surprise. Overall, the property is beautiful, but the rooms seem 'thin,' and you can hear your noisy neighbors quite well.
Front desk staff are great and let me check in early which I appreciated desply after traveling for close to 18 hours. Room was very nice and bed extremely comfortable (on the soft side which I love but know some people prefer firm) the only things I noticed that could have been improved were some staining on the duvet and curtains, and the shower fixtures desperately need an update. The taquitos were also over cooked and flavorless but all the rest of the food was great.
