“Perfection”

Reviewed June 13, 2013 NEW

After a terrible couple of days at the Del Mar Hilton we were able to get a room at the Clarion (they were unfortunately sold out the first 2 nights of our trip). Both properties have been recently renovated but the Clarion quite noticeably came out much better. The location, design, amenities, and price make it our go-to spot in... More

So this was our second time at the inn and oh my has it improved. We had family in town and stayed with them for convenience and a stay-cation. The rooms are amazing, just like in the photos. The bistro is definitely a step up. I don't understand some of the complaints about their restaurant. Anyone complaining about having to... More

“Over-hyped? I'll probably try another place next time...”

Reviewed June 10, 2013

Given the pricing, and the location, and the other reviews, I expected a premium hotel. It's OK, but not special. Paid extra for the ocean view room, but in actuality, it overlooks the parking lot, and the ocean is another block away, with the view blocked by 2 rows of homes. Front desk staff seemed somewhat confused and having problems... More

“Bait and Switch”

Reviewed June 1, 2013

Be warned of this bait and switch hotel. I travel a lot and really should write more reviews of the outstanding properties I have stayed at, but it seems it takes a bad experience to bring us to write something sometimes. My Experience: This is a 2.5 star hotel anyway you cut it, but Hotwire in conjunction with hotel management... More

Dear Cjjd777: Reading your comments on TripAdvisor it’s unfortunate you blame the hotel for attempting to make a poor situation better. As mentioned, we offered you a 50% discount not only off breakfast but 50% off anything in our new Bistro C Café. That equals buy 1 get 1 free! Please remember, the issue & miscommunication was with Hotwire, not... More

“Finally”

So, after numerous stays at the Del Mar Inn we were finally able to enjoy the bistro, which seemed like years in the making. We were quite sad that the staple breakfast lady was no longer there. The service is not nearly what it used to be even though you are now paying for your meal. The food is decent,... More

Our company recommends this hotel to business visitors. Our guests are so happy there, they prefer it to a corporate hotel. I toured the property and was very impressed by the personal service at the front desk, the outdoor pool area, small bistro and the remodeled rooms, some with ocean views.
