Emma and Liliana should be fired. Super Rude!!!!!
Pros:

Emma at front desk was super rude. Now I understand why so many bad reviews with her name on it. I tried talking to manager Liliana and she was even works threatened to call the policy because I didn’t want to listen to her excuses.

Front desk was rude
Pros:

Emma at front desk was not very nice. I said hello and she didn’t even respond. After that she was not flexible at all when I requested 2 beds for my grad kids. I will never stay here again.

Great hotel, but
Pros:

Comfortable facilities, decent breakfast, great bedding, and wonderful people, do not make up for the fact that the internet constantly has to be rebooted. Very frustrating when you're in the middle of something. Nevertheless, we do keep going back.

Clean and welcoming. Will definitely stay here again when in the Del Mar area
Pros:

Front desk was very welcoming and helpful. We returned to this property and were impressed. Stayed here in the past and stopped coming because of a very unwelcoming front desk.

Cons:

The $18 parking charge. Did recall seeing this during booking and became aware at check in.

Pros:

Big and functional room. Breakfast was good, but nothing special - appreciated that it changed every day a little. Staff was friendly and the location close to the highway.

Cons:

Parking cost was 18 $ even out side and it did not seem as there were alternatives. Not the best area to explore without a car.
