Del Mar Motel on the Beach

Loved the location right on the beach. The patio overlooking the beach was great. Room was very clean. It was nothing fancy, but adequate. You are there for the beach so you don't spend much time in the room. It was close to lots of restaurants . The rooms have small refrigerators and microwaves which is not listed in the add. The staff was very helpful. […] We will return. Read more

Thought it was the perfect spot unitl the trains ran all night. Wish I had known that before. Really made rest impossible let alone sleep. Other wise the perfect spot.

We were as close as you could get to the beautiful Del Mar beach. The motel was not fancy but it was comfortable, and we especially appreciated the free parking because parking in Del Mar appears to be both expensive and difficult to find. If you walk south on the beach for a few minutes there are two nice parks to visit as well.

Del Mar is a beautiful place but not the motel. It is located directly on the beach what is the only plus of the house. The room is clean but the furniture and bath are old.We did not feel comfortable as family

This is a nice family property right on the beach. It's a little busy, but still quiet at night. The staff is lovely, but they were put in the bad situation of trying to explain why the single ice machine couldn't be fixed in a timely fashion. A beach motel full of families w/ no icemaker is a problem. Mgt should get with it.

I fell in love with Del Mar

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

you have to know what you want. We loved it because it was very clean, very simple, very affordable and RIGHT ON THE BEACH. The building sits lengthwise on its lot. No rooms overlook the ocean, but there are great places to sit, lounge, picnic within steps of each room and overlooking the Pacific. A beautiful park overlooking the ocean is nearby, shops […] and restaurants are just up the hill. We ate most mornings at L'Auberge (so often that our waitress gave us some coupons for appetizers later in the day.) We ate a few other meals at Jake's (much better than Poseidon's). We daytripped to San Diego and La Jolla. But...if you are looking for a cushy hotel room to lounge around in all day, or if you need to get meals on the premises, if you're looking for plush, a designer look, bell staff, a fancy bed, pretty armchairs, etc...you won't be happy at the Del Mar. (Our room did have an icebox and coffee maker.) There were families with young children and/or with teenagers; business travelers; surfers; older couples; young couples--a nice mix. The only real nuisance is that, if you book online, the front desk folk can be snotty about it. As in, "I can't help you with that because you booked online." Read more

Terrific. Not fancy but clean and right on the beach.
