Although the decision to stay at the stradford wasnt mine, I came here with tremendous low standards. After being checked in by two charasmatic personel, I injoyed the their attitude, the day was nice, the service excellent. My advice to anyone staying here would be to make you own judgement. by far the stradford is one of the best hotels... more

I checked in for a holiday weekend and based on decent reviews I booked this hotel. I was very disappointed that our room looked really dated and small. I asked if I could upgrade and I paid a little more so that we could have a suite. While the suite was larger that was the only plus. All the bedding... more

I booked this hotel after reading the positive reviews on the site. It was so different to what I experienced. The rooms are really dated and dirty. I was lucky there weren't any bed bugs. The blankets and sheets looked like they hadn't been washed in ages. The pillows looked like they had been there for years. The room had... more

My wife and I went to Del Mar and San Diego for a first-time visit. We will defintely return to the area, and undoubtedly return to this hotel! To begin, the setting is as if you are staying in a garden with all the beautiful flowers surrounding the property. The heated pool lets you look out to the Pacific Ocean... more

We have stayed here 3 times while attending horse shows at the race track. This will always be one of my favorite places to stay. Large rooms, wonderful bath and shower, clean, beautiful grounds and nice professional staff. I highly recommend this hotel and it's in a great location as well! more

Grounds are attractive. Away from the highway and busy streets. From some of the reviews, I anticipate that some areas differ. I was near the office. Large room, large bathroom. Entirely comfortable. Many rooms have decks which this one did not but there was an ocean view. I would say that the beach is about two blocks away. With the... more

The staff at this hotel are great, very helpful and friendly. The hotel is walking distance to the beach, great in summer when parking is a real problem. You can also walk to downtown Del Mar and it is also convenient to the track. more

I stayted at this location for the second straight year in a row. I come to Del Mar to attend the races at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club and this location is by far the best value in town. The first year I walked to the track everyday (1 mile) and I took the free hotel shuttle one day which... more
