We are coming bck here for sure!
We spent two nights here at Homewood Suites Del Mar while on a weekend vacation to Legoland and San Diego. The prices and package of hotel deals in San Diego was outrageous so we decided to try on the outskirts of the city. What a fabulous choice!!! First of all, this hotel is owned by Hilton, so we knew we should expect quality.
We were right in between San Diego and Carlsbad. The hotel is right off of the freeway and so you just hop on the freeway and you're in San Diego within 10-15 minutes and in Carlsbad/Legoland within 15 minutes. It is located in very upscale, posh Del Mar. The neighborhood is very safe and clean. You will need a car to get around here as it is not located near major landmarks.
We paid $150 per night and it was well worth the price. We booked a 2 room suite that was huge and gorgeous. They gave us a great corner room location. The kitchen has pergo wood floors and modern appliances. There was a pull out couch/bed in the front room and a huge bedroom with either 1 king or 2 queen beds. We never felt as if we were walking on top of each other in this room because there was so much space. The beds were so comfortable and plush with lots of pillows. The bathroom was a good size with a countertop/vanity outside of the bathroom which we loved so someone could be showering while the other person could actually be getting ready for the day.
The staff at the hotel was so friendly and welcoming. We were looking for directions to various locations and they were very accomodating and helpful in looking up addresses, directions, etc. We felt very welcomed and appreciated their hospitality.
We were traveling with our 3 small children and the hotel was very accomodating to families as well as business travelers as well as couples traveling alone. There definitely was a wide mix of people staying at this hotel.
The hotel offers a free daily breakfast that was delicious. Not "continental" at all but a full breakfast with waffles, eggs, sausage, cereal, yogurt, baked goods, coffee, you name it. It was a great bonus to this hotel.
In response to someone else's previous review about hearing their neighbors' noises, occassionally we did hear the water running in the room next door, but that was all. It wasn't loud or bothersome at all. So that was not a problem for us at all.
Bottom line: whenever we go to San Diego or Carlsbad or Oceanside, we will never stay anywhere else than Homewood Suites Del Mar. You can't go wrong here and it will make your trip a great one! Happy traveling!
