    We had a delightful stay! It was a little difficult for my ordered husband to get out of bed as the bed was really low, but we managed. Cute room on second level! Parking was no problem!

    This hotel was one that’s off the beaten path. It doesn’t follow the norms of regular high-end hotels or less quality motels. It is almost like a beautiful peaceful escape from the norm. My room was incredible. I loved it. It felt like I was in another country or on a grand vacation it was peaceful quiet, and that’s just the type of environment you want to be in if your visiting just to have a relaxing vacation or here to work and would like a sanctuary if you’re looking for that, this is a five star, relaxing, quiet hotel it’s truly a gem and one of a kind.

    They weren’t as pet friendly as I’d hoped but we were able to work it out. The soaps in the shower were kind of icky and the sheets probably need to be replaced more frequently. The website said there was a hot tub but I didn’t see one, but I also didn’t ask.

    Hidden gem in Del Mar. I stayed in the Diego Rivera room, which has a nice-sized kitchen area and looks out toward the ocean. The jetted tub was heavenly! The staff is just wonderful, and the morning coffee at the check-in window a nice touch. I walked to the beach and all down the main road very easily. Highly recommend!

    Overall a really cute place however they did not have our hotels.com reservation they said. We ended up getting a non-artist room which is the whole reason why we booked here so my daughter who is an artist could enjoy the intricacies at an artist room. Also because of close proximity to neighbors there was yard work beginning around 7:30 a.m. And it kind of continued on until 9:30 30/10:00 a.m. We're late sleeper so that wasn't ideal for us.

    This is an old and architecturally funky property, blending traditional Mexican and Asian elements. The bed was comfortable, the pricing was reasonable, and there was plenty of free parking. It is close to all the shops and restaurants, and walkable to the beach.

    This hotel is a real find. The location is in walking distance to the beach and town. It has a funky charm and was clean and inviting. Each room is named after an artist and is decorated with that particular artist’s work. It is a no-frills place but has a fun vibe and you can’t beat the price.

    Enjoyed our stay for the eclectic feel and good location! Cleanliness left a bit to be desired. Outside table and chairs were dirty with melted, dried food on it. The provided robes were a nice touch, but alas they were dirty. The sink dripped constantly making it hard to sleep and the floors could use a good mopping.

    The staff was great, the room was nice but easily could have been better. First, I noticed the ceiling fan was very dusty so I was afraid to turn it on and possibly blow dust around the room. Also noticed dust and cobwebs a few other places (like the ceiling and skylight I was staring directly up at). Then, I noticed the microwave front didn't looked wiped down, buttons with fingerprints. Lastly, the refrigerator was turned off. If you know anything about refrigerators, the one thing you shouldn't do is turn it off. I opened a stinky, humid refrigerator with specks of mold. Turning the refrigerators off must be common practice between stays because I saw other reviews with complaints of moldy refrigerators. Overall, nice people, nice area, nice view from my room; would only visit again if they cleaned a little better.

    This is a wonderful experience, for anyone who enjoys an esthetic immersion. The patio/entry is a lovely indoor-outdoor layout, with fountains and seating areas very conducive to lingering at chatting. The room I was in was extensively and thoughtfully decorated per the theme (Zen) and lived up to its vibe. Walking the nearby downtown was a very chill morning vibe, adding nicely to the experience. I really recommend this for anyone liking a quaint and homey feeling. If you want polish and glitz, look elsewhere, and save the room for someone who loves this.

    There were ants in the second floor room I was in. They gave me a stained bedspread with a big hole to put on the bed since I had a dog ( not super pet friendly). There were spider webs in the common area. The skylight didn’t have a shade with a remote (they make them), so it was super bright first thing in the morning. Oh and the picture of the nude woman above the bed in the room next door was distasteful.

    Sort of a funky place that is charming and eclectic. Bed was very comfortable, room was clean and quiet. We had the garden view room and while the garden is small it’s very nice. Only had a couple of suggestions for improvement- the hair dryer did not work and please consider putting 2 hooks on the back of the bathroom door - there is NO place to hang bath towels to dry. Also, there was no bottled water in the little fridge (which was not plugged in) and no where to get one at check in. Would be nice for you to have two bottles on the table in the room. This is a comfortable place to stay and different from a sterile chain hotel!

    Our room had a big skylight right over the bed, so as soon as the sun came out (by 6:30 am) we could no longer sleep. It felt like being under a spotlight. The entire room was creepy and dated. The "artists" paintings throughout the room were not in anyway "art" we'd want to be looking at our entire stay. Our room was filled with dirty knick knacks throughout the room. There were seashells and shelves with no purpose. The bathroom was very uncomfortable. If I had to say 3 nice things about this place they would be 1) the staff is friendly. 2) the location of the hotel is great (very good bakery across the street) 3) There's a partial ocean view from room 10. If you can afford an extra $100/night go to the Indio Hotel just down the street.

It’s in a great location, just a short walk from shops and restaurants. The staff were kind and helpful throughout our stay, and the beds were incredibly comfortable.

    Incredible property with lovely detail to design. Felt like a Spanish mission. Very secluded once behind gate. So clean and visually appealing. Felt incredibly relaxed the moment You walked in. Waterfalls through are soothing. Each room is unique with own special touches. It feels like you’re staying in your own bedroom, not a ‘hotel’. The Premier corner room was exceptional - great size, very private , large wrap around patio including hot tub, grill, table and chairs, love seat and fire pit - all with an ocean view. Highly recommend for a romantic getaway. Will definitely return when visiting in the future.

    We loved our room and the view. It was cozy and much more “breathable” than a standard hotel room would be. The location is prime for downtown Del Mar and was easy to get around on foot. The minor things for us because we only stayed a night was the bathtub had a leaky faucet and the windows were crickety. The front door window was see thru at night and no blind to cover it. Otherwise it was perfect and they were so sweet and accommodating for an early check in. We would stay here again.

    Old style hotel, reasonably priced for both the room and pets, clean, comfortable and quiet. Small staff that are very friendly. No coffee maker in the room, nor an ironing board, but both available in the corridor. No breakfast or food pantry available, but close to many eating establishments. Some complimentary fruits and pastries were available in the morning. Free parking and two blocks from ocean. We would stay here again.

    I stayed in the Monet room, which was perfect for a single person or couple. I stayed as a single with my small dog. I had plenty of room for my yoga mat and his crate along with his separate dog bed. A small desk space for my laptop and shelves for my books. The added bonuses were the jet bathtub, the nice wood framed bed, bed bench, day bed, tiny balcony with a beautiful cascading garden water feature. And many artistic touches. It was quiet and serene. I would love to stay here again.

    I like to start by saying the lady works at the desk is great. She is from Thailand and I also speak Thai so we had a fun time talking but the places definitely not peaceful as it says in some of the reviews. The hotel sits right off a main road and even though there is a wall in front, you could still hear the traffic and of course landscapers were mowing grass at 8 AM in the morning. The rooms are charming, and very accommodating, but not insulated for sound. You can also hear the people next-door taking a shower The sheets and blankets were very nice.

Mattress felt old, with no support. I cannot say I felt comfortable.

    When I arrived at 8:45 pm and they walked me to the room, the doors and windows were wide open, no screens. Airing out? A lot of plants around. The mattress pad was too small and felt on edges. Woke up with 7 bed bug or bug bites around my ankles which itch. Saw particles on sheets near ankles.
