Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

Our room was excellent. Very clean and modern. The TV was good, bed was good, The K-cup coffee maker was good, but the coffee provided was terrible. Bring your own k-cups or get it from the on-site cafe which has good coffee and pastries. Parking can be difficult on busy nights. The location is great. We couldn't get down to the beach directly from the hotel, but we walked into town and found a great place to get on the beach or watch the surfers. Had a very nice lunch at Harry's sitting outside...
