We stayed at the Homewood Suites in Del Mar for 3 nights before going to Carlsbad. I have to say that everything positive I read about the hotel is true and then some. We had 2 rooms next door to each other for a family of 5 - 2 of which were teenagers. I didn't even think to ask for adjoining rooms when we checked in but this worked just fine. We got there early and were able to check in right away. Each room had it's own bedroom, living room and small kitchen. The kitchen had everything you would need - a full size refrigerator, sink, dishwasher, all pots, pans, dishes, soap, utensils - everything!!! There was a stove top but no oven - no big deal. The living room had a sofa sleeper that worked perfectly for the youngest. In my personal opinion, all the furniture in the living room made it a little "tight" for space but we just moved the cocktail table out of the way and we were good.
We arrived on the Thursday before Easter and had booked 3 nights at the hotel. We were starving once we unpacked and decided to go next door to the deli in the Hilton. My daughter had panini that was to die for, we had chix ceasar salads and my sons had sandwiches. It was an awesome meal - not too light but just enough to get us by until dinner that night.
We went out to the pool for a little while - it was a little chilly but our littlest one was very happy being in a warm pool - even though it was 65 degrees. Pool was not real big but it was nice and clean. They also had a jacuzzi that was well taken care of. Lounge chairs around the pool and they had tables & chairs outside of the pool area to sit and have drinks or watch the kids without getting wet.
Apparently, they have free dinner Sunday or Monday thru Thursday nights - COOL! So, we had grilled chix breasts, hot dogs, hamburgers, corn on the cobb, fresh cut fruit, chips, drinks etc. It was really nice after getting in from flying and not having to worry about dinner.
Beds were very comfortable, pillows great and the cleaning ladies were there every day. No problems at all with anything. It is a little "secluded" and not out amongst everything but a quick drive to the expressway and very easy to find. It was a great start to our spring break vacation! I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to everyone. A+ all the way!!!
