DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego - Del Mar
Room was renovated and clean. Bed and bedding were great. The bathroom door was super hard to open and close. Bathrooms need some renovation but overall good hotel. Proximity to Torrey Pines is priceless. Staff was super nice and helpful.

Bay Club Hotel & Marina
Always hate when they charge to check you in a little early. Went for a happy hour drink and snack instead, it was mediocre. Enjoyed the people and the facilities were nice. Only complaint about the room was pillows were rock hard otherwise it was clean and spacious enough

We really enjoyed our stay here. The 1 bedroom condo felt like a home away from home. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the dishes you’ll need. We loved it so much we are going back next year and staying longer.
