Facing the Pacific Ocean in Del Mar California, this beachfront motel offers guest parking, a picnic area and use of beach amenities. Each guest room includes a 60-inch cable TV. The Del Mar Fairgrounds are 7 minutes’ drive away. Location of this hotel is fantastic. It's beachfront in a quiet location next to the best restaurants. The hotel is the cutest little remodeled boutiques style hotel. The rooms have everything you need. The staff is so friendly and the chairs of the back of the hotel to watch the beach are fantastic. We could sit and watch the view for hours.... very close to the shopping district in Del Mar. Would highly recommend! Not to mention you can walk from miles on either direction on this clean clear flat beach.
