Doubletree Hotel San Diego/Del Mar

It is a little out of the way but they have a suttle that takes you where you want to go within reason.

Be aware there are no refrigerators in the rooms.

Great location just a few minutes from San Diego.

Wonderful location. Only minute away from downtown Del Mar. My favorite commodity was the free shuttle they offered which dropped us off on the hart of Del Mar to enjoy a great evening without worrying about parking or driving. The entire staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Great hotel.

Doubletree del mar was adequate but I wouldn't recommend staying here I you plan to spend much time in your room. Very basic rooms that didn't have a coffee maker, blinds allowed some light into room, very thin walls, no fridge and the ice bucket so small it was hard to chill anything down. The hotel is isolated, with a Von's a few minutes drive away but not much else. They offer a free shuttle within five miles, probably because there isn't much to go to within five miles. At the checkin we were told it was six miles, but after asking the next day (the wedding we were in town for was 5.7 mi away) we found it is a five mile limit. If you have breakfast make sure you have a voucher. We had impression after checking in that it was complimentary (and were rather impressed with the variety of lukewarm items on warming trays), then got a bill for $18 each. Definitely not worth anything close to that amount. ...read more

after my stay here, i contacted the hotel about my dissatisfaction with my experience. i mentioned that i had checked in around midnight and went to sleep shortly thereafter only to be jarred awake a couple hours later by an alarm that sent all patrons out of the building into the cold night for an hour. i mentioned how when i returned to my room, i noticed it had been flooded (apparently a room above me had a sprinkler malfunction that set off the alarm). i mentioned that in addition to all of this chaos, i was forced to change rooms. i also mentioned that i needed to leave the hotel at 9am which left me with an extremely unpleasant stay with minimal sleep. i asked the hotel manager if they could offer me another night's stay, comped, which they denied. when a customer is this dissatisfied with their experience, management should go out of their way to make it right. they did not. this was the first time i had any association with this hotel, and it will be my last. ...read more

The king bed-room w/a pull-out was nice to have with a child along, but the pull-out actually cramped the room greatly. There was little room to navigate in. Also, there was no fridge in the room. In-room coffee is a nice convenience, but the coffee & tea available for "free" in the restaurant was a pleasant addition to our stay. The breakfast buffet was a bit pricey.
