Where to stay in Del Mar

I was driving north and took a detour along the scenic route that would eventually lead me to the Historic CA-101. Just after the sun set, I came upon this beautiful silhouette of the road that passes over the Coaster and I had to stop to shoot it!

"The room was spacious and the parking was convenient. Check-in was also quick. There was a spider in our room and it smelled a little musty, but overall was a good stay!"

Del Mar is a quiet suburb and beach town. Winter is very low key. If you’re looking for a hot spot - this is not it. That said, it’s beautiful and relaxing.
