Top North Beach Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego - Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast and Bar"

The Seabird Ocean Resort & Spa, Part of Destination Hotel by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"I've never been to Oceanside, I usually stay in Laguna or Carlsbad but let me tell you I Loved this resort! Celebrating a 50th Birthday and the staff went out of their way to make it special. The room, 663, had the perfect view, beds were comfortable, and the pool with bar service made the perfect relaxation spot. The hotel location was very convenient to the pier & restraunts. I loved that they had hotel daily activities and umbrella/chair services on the beach for guests. I will most definitely be returning."

LEGOLAND California Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This property is wonderful for children. Very very safe. I was most impressed with the lifeguards at the pool. 4 on duty, 100% focused on the swimmers. Rooms were well thought out and stocked with what’s needed. This resort does not nickel and dime you. Their complimentary breakfast is excellent with many, many choices. A must stay if you are going to go to Lego land."
