Love the fact that the ocean is right across the street and there are plenty of places to eat within walking distance. We stayed for those two reasons but mainly because it is also close to Del Mar where we went for the day to watch the horse races.

Loved all that this hotel had to offer (the free parking, breakfast, and property). The room was spacious and clean. However, when we returned from the beach there was zero hot water. We had to call the front desk and when they didn't answer had to walk down to ask about it. It was out for about an hour while we were there-but it would have been good to know (and save some tears from our kids) before we went back to our room and gave them a cold shower. They did call us when it was back on, but it would have been great to have a heads up.
