Updated and modern hotel with comfortable beds and rooms. Location is nice as you can exit the hotel to the street behind the hotel; then the walkway and stairs to the Solana Beach are easily accessible. There are no nice views to the sides of the hotel but again the location with walks on the beach and Del Mar restaurants are nearby. Staff was great at this hotel.

This hotel is very nice, despite the need to pay for parking. The pool looks a lot better online than in person, but most people are heading to the beach anyway. I love the free breakfast. Very beautiful hotel; my room even had a balcony.
