DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego - Del Mar
Room was renovated and clean. Bed and bedding were great. The bathroom door was super hard to open and close. Bathrooms need some renovation but overall good hotel. Proximity to Torrey Pines is priceless. Staff was super nice and helpful.

California Suites Hotel
Overall it was a good place to stay. Room was clean but needs updating. Beds feel old. The mini kitchenette was cool but no pans so it’s kind of pointless. Outside area was clean. Location was great. Next to the freeway and many stores.

Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort
We really enjoyed our stay here. The 1 bedroom condo felt like a home away from home. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the dishes you’ll need. We loved it so much we are going back next year and staying longer.
