Stayed at the Hampton Inn Del Mar for one night. The hotel is a very good value for the price. The rooms are large and clean. Free wifi and flatscreen TV. Safe underground parking area. A small pool in front and a good complimentary breakfast. Located just off the highway and convenient to Del Mar. Probably a 20-25 min drive from downtown San Diego.
Our one issue was that we booked online well for two nights well in advance. About a month before our stay, we had to cancel the first night. We were told that we could not have a refund or credit for the first night, whcih which was frustrating. Then, we requested an early check in and they said it might not be available. But we were paying for the previous night anyways? Why can't we have an early check in to a room we had already paid for? After some wrangling, it was agreed that the staff would check us in as if we had stayed for both nights. Things went smoothly once we arrived, but the whole situation left a bitter taste in our mouths.
