L'Auberge Del Mar

Fantastic location with ocean views, very short walk to the beach with shuttle available and amazing comfortable room with great layout.

This is the best location in North County IMO. I’ve stayed in La Jolla, Solana Beach, Carlsbad, and in Oceanside, but I think this Del Mar location is the best situated in terms of beach, restaurants, things to do. Lovely hotel.

Quaint old school hotel. Checked in as a AmEx Platinum member & told our room was “upgraded.” Sadly, the room was dark due to overgrown patio ferns with a view of nothing but the back of the poolside beverage tent. VERY disappointing !!! If this room was an upgrade … I don't want to know what a non-upgraded room yields (YIKES). Food service for all our meals was unbearably slow, but food itself was great. A special shout out to Sunday evening’s entertainment which we found to be exceptional !!!

Location is good, Service is good. But valet parking fee is terrible, 75 Us dollar per day. Hope future they will can be lower.

Room is overly tired, room 205. Top left drawer, only one I used doesn’t work well. Bathroom cabinet and other furniture chipped and finish off. The one drawer I used wasn’t clean I wiped it out. Deck surface looked old and beat up. View from terrace included party deck which had trash left over on it. Refrigerator in room was locked no key given to us or offered to us. Good water refillable bottle system but no info on where to refill. I walked entire 2nd floor then went to front desk at 11 PM to ask where to refill., no one at desk. After 5 minutes another guest came up who told me where to go. Literally 15 minutes to refill bottle. Came back after concert around 10:30 and had not eaten dinner. Nothing at hotel but were told that place across street was open until midnight, so walked all the way over there and were told they closed for food at 10PM so we ate potato chips in room for dinner. One employee offered to open gift shop but other employee said nothing in there so didn’t open it. Next day I noted better food options there than in room. I related all this to front desk manager morning at check out, she listened and said she would tell someone about it. She never apologized on behalf of hotel and didn’t offer anything to us for all of these problems. This all took place during our stay which began at 4:30 Sunday and ended at 11 AM Monday.
