I went for schooling, so I wasn’t spending much time in the room. It served its purpose
Pros:

I liked how large it was and the dining area with the pool area was nice

Cons:

I did not like the parking lot and the weird driveway

Home away from home!
Pros:

I am a “regular” here at the Doubletree Del Mar - Brian has been like family every time I am here! This hotel has been my “home away from home” because of Brian and the other bar/restaurant staff!!

Customer service is non-existent at Doubletree Hilton Del Mar
Pros:

Location is close to the event that we attended

Cons:

Daily room service was inadequate. The room was not fully cleaned. Left over coffee cups were left on the counter, not removed or cleaned, coffee, tea and new paper cups were not replenished. After check-out, when we arrived at the airport, I realized that I didn’t have my cross-over with me, which I could either left at the hotel room or in the back seat of the rental car. I called the hotel requesting if they could help look into the room for it. The answer from the front desk was the room service staff won’t be able to do that for another hour and a half, in spite of my begging that I may miss my flight, it was of no help. It turned out that the bag was in the car and the staff at Avis went over and beyond to send several people to go search the bag for me. That’s customer service at Avis, not at Hilton. Very disappointed

A Perfect Room
Pros:

We would like to thank the entire staff at the Del Mar Doubletree. We needed shelter for four nights due to medical visits nearby. Dylan, Rhys, Marcel and especially Sam were most helpful in securing just the right accommodations for our needs. We’ve been to this hotel many times, and will return again I am sure many more times. Thank you all one more time.
