A great safe location as well only 9 minutes from Del Mar beaches and 16 minutes from la jolla! The only reason it is a 4 star rating is the $28 a night parking. When I originally booked the details said "free parking" upon arrival we were astonished that there was a $28 a night parking fee. I would understand if the hotel was in a busy area but it is not. It is in a low traffic corporate area and they have their own big dedicated parking lot. To me it is clear that the property manager is being greedy and attempting to make money.
