Palomar Mountain Vacations from $313

Excellent downtown location. Convenient to The convention center, little Italy and many restaurants.

Very roomy 3 bedroom unit for our group of 6, 4 adults and 2 children. The kitchen and small laundry appliances were especially helpful with small children. We enjoyed 2 pool areas, both were great for kids with splash pads and water slides. One pool did not have the concession/food building open on Wednesday, the other did on Friday. More consistency on food options would be appreciated. Some of us also enjoyed fishing in the small stocked pond on site. The views and sunsets were spectacular!

Renovated building very clean and large rooms

The entire place was nice. Kind of pricey, but its close to the beach and its a very nice tourist spot. The lobby has snacks and treats, which is very nice. The room was nice and the bed was comfortable. My issue is with the less than helpful (at least to us) staff on duty for the night shift. We were informed at the desk that there is a 25 dollar a night charge for parking. Parking is across the street in a building that you have to download a code for to get in and out. The person at the front was more interested in socializing with some guy. We were apparently an inconvenience. (we checked in at 7ish pm). I did let the person know my experience and she said she would make sure someone knew about it. The parking situation is less than fantastic but the rest of the stay was great. We did not get to try the on site restaurant but it was certainly hopping and people sounded like they were having a blast. I got a pretty decent discount on the room using this site, but I can't imagine paying regular price, so if I decided to come back, I will be using Expedia again.

Please note that this is — and feels like — a private country club. We loved it and want to return after Labor Day when it will feel less hectic.
