Top Cardiff State Beach Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Solana Beach-Del Mar by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Boutique hotel, aesthetically pleasing; welcome cookies! Covered parking, easy access to beach, quiet and comfortable"

Hilton San Diego/Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"What a great find! We needed just an overnight stay because we were going to a concert in Solana Beach. This hotel is in a great location. About a mile south is downtown Del Mar with so many food choices. About a mile north is Solana beach and everything that town has to offer. I am not into horse racing but the race track is right across the street! Aside from being conveniently located, the property is very well maintained - very clean and inviting. Our room was larger than expected and also very clean. We will definitely stay here again for a quick Del Mar weekend."

Brisa Pacific Hotel Encinitas

10/10 Excellent

"Pros: we arrived at night and it was well lit, beautiful sign. Easy to find. Good parking, well beautified and maintained. Easy check in. The room was clean and cute. Pillows neatly arranged. AC worked great. The employee was extremely friendly and helpful. She was able to help get items for breakfast and open the pool for us. The bed and pillow were comfortable. There was a security latch and deadbolt. Shampoo, body wash, makeup wipe, and lotion were made available. Towels and washcloths available. Good continental breakfast with coffee/creamer. Only 15 minutes from Legoland. Con- honestly none. The only thing I would suggest is maybe putting the shampoo and body wash a bit lower for younger kids to be able to reach but definitely not major."
