I loved the beautifully landscaped gardens, amazing architecture and the peaceful setting of the inn. The owner is so sweet and was very attentive to our needs. The entire time I was at the inn I felt completely relaxed. The owner provided us with a healthy breakfast which was put inside a picnic basket. It was very nice to have the option to take the picnic basket to the beach or eat on the lovely grounds. I will go back again if I go to San Diego.

Our room was excellent. Very clean and modern. The TV was good, bed was good, The K-cup coffee maker was good, but the coffee provided was terrible. Bring your own k-cups or get it from the on-site cafe which has good coffee and pastries. Parking can be difficult on busy nights. The location is great. We couldn't get down to the beach directly from the hotel, but we walked into town and found a great place to get on the beach or watch the surfers. Had a very nice lunch at Harry's sitting outside...

The absolute QUIETEST hotel we have EVER stayed in, and the place was full of kids! Same exit as LegoLand so we expected kids and it to be loud. We stayed for an entire week and never heard anything! Occasionally hear the train, but was muffled. Staff was incredibly friendly, and I mean all of them! Even just passing in the hallways or elevators, they would great you and smile. Just not what we expected. Pool heater was not working, but the weather permitted cooler water anyway. Beach was just a...

- The hot breakfast (which I didn't know it was included in mine) was awesome. They had egg-based meal, cereals, oatmeal, yogurt, fruit, bread, orange juice, and more (and yes, everything was hot and delicious) - Parking (self-covered) will be just $10, which I think is a really reasonable price. - The place is quiet and safe. In front of the place there are two gas stations; both walkable. I arrived at the hotel late and went there like 10PM but never felt unsafe. - The staffs were extremely...

We stayed here for 2 nights and loved the experience! The staff was really friendly and accommodated an early check-in request which was big time as we had a maintenance project going on at our apartment. We brought our cat and paid the pet fee. The staff was really nice to our cat and gave her attention at check-in and check-out :D We paid a bit more to get the bigger room option, and that was well worth it. The room was comfy with a couch, king bed, additional seating, desk, etc....

The Homewood Suites by Hilton San Diego-Del Mar is a really great place to stay. It's clean. The area is really safe and quiet. The room was great too. I got the one bedroom suite with a kitchen. The room was small but it was clean and had everything I need. It had a mini kitchen with a stove, microwave, fridge, coffee maker, dishwasher and toaster. Also, all the basic utensils and cookware you'll need is also available inside the cabinets. The bedroom was neat too and the bathroom was a decent...
