It was under construction and was not notified ahead of time. However, the rooms and location were great. The view out my window was bad- dirty abandoned parking lot vibe. I do think if the rest of the hotel turns out as nice as the rooms, this will be a great place to stay.
clean ,quiet hot tub and pool is amazing
so close to the beach !
but the elevator is really old sometimes it made a unexpected bumpy start and stop, im ok with it but it really scares kids and some ladies.
Very clean and updated room, great breakfast, purified cold water in a dispenser for water bottles, conveniently located near Del Mar beaches and nightlife.

There is no beach view from the hotel, it's too far inland. There was construction going on that we weren't aware of, so the lobby was rearranged. Our room was clean and lovely, I liked the shampoo and body wash provided, a standard, simple room for a quick stay.
Property was undergoing renovations during my stay, so some facilities were unavailable. However, the staff did their best to ensure guests still had a positive experience.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would happily return. My only complaint is the water pressure in the shower in Room 220, which could definitely be improved.
While paying full price for the area, the main lobby was closed for renovations, finding the check in area was not clearly marked. We were then informed the elevators were being changed and we would be on the 3rd floor. Entrance to the stairs was not found until opening a few different doors to the trash disposal. Upon arriving in the room, the bathroom floor was so sticky I had to rinse off the residue from my shoes. The tv did not work, the air condition was exceptionally loud and towards the end of its life, while waking up to construction every morning. In addition, the pool and hot tub were closed.
