Marina District Vacations from ￥331,167

The lobby area is a bit dated and in need of update. Has a Starbucks right next door. Walking distance to Gaslamp district. We stayed in updated rooms on 7th floor. The were well updated but small. Rooms were clean and offered coffee and bottled water.

This was a great hotel to stay at. It was a perfect location, view was great, staff extremely friendly and helpful and room was perfect . Would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I wanted a beachside getaway to celebrate our 25th, and the Hotel Del Mar did not disappoint. We were greeted in the cheerful lobby by an enthusiastic front desk person who offered up complimentary rosé. The room was simple and clean. My only criticism is the less than fluffy pillows, thin towels and the door the bathroom door that didn’t quite latch. There was an in room keurig, but we preferred the fancy complimentary coffee machine in the lobby. Side note - there was also a “bar” with a brewer and wine for sale. There was no bottled water but there was a pitcher that you could bring to the lobby for purified water. The back patio was right there in the beach. It featured plenty of loungers and high chairs facing the water. There was a ledge in front of the high chairs where we enjoyed little sunset picnics. My only criticism here - if you wanted the loungers you might be looking at the backs of the people in the high chairs. Beyond the ideal proximity to the water, the hotel itself is located within walking distance to the park and a main drag with tons of restaurants. Our favorite was An’s Hat Shop - the best ice cream ever! There was plenty of parking and we were so close to Solana Beach and Encinitas as well. Such quaint beach towns without any over crowding! There is a local train that passes but we barely noticed it when we were in our room. If you are looking for a romantic beach getaway this is the place!

Spotless room, great location, and an incredible rooftop — this place had it all. The staff were genuinely warm and helpful throughout our stay, and the complimentary breakfast was a lovely bonus. The courtyard is a perfect spot to unwind. Already looking forward to coming back!
