“Del Mar's best beach spot, one slip”

Del Mar Beach Hotel wins loyalists with its oceanfront spot — walkable to everything, easy parking — and staff who go above and beyond, with a named greeter helping with bags and check-in. Beach needs are supplied: towels, chairs, mats and umbrellas, plus a patio bar with ocean views and a liked family-run restaurant next door. Rooms are recently updated, sizeable and comfortable with excellent beds, thick towels and fresh robes. One stay found an odd smell, hair in the sheets and a broken espresso machine; parking-lot noise occasionally drifts in and shower pressure runs low.
