Pros:

The people who own the place are super super sweet and very, very nice, the room I booked ended up being on a second floor and I can't climb stairs.So they gave us the most expensive room.They have and they, you did give us a discount.But it was still more than you really wanted to spend and it would have be helpful if not just them but other hotels also told you what floor the room you're booking is on
The ambience is amazing

Cons:

There isn't anything to dislike

Pros:

I loved the theme, the decor, and the quaint character. The people were very nice.

Cons:

The place was a bit run down, surprisingly. At least the room I was in was. They're lacking attention to detail. I improve and restore buildings for a living so I may be a harsh critic. They are welcome to call me if they want feedback, suggestions or improvements.

Beautiful room and grounds
Pros:

The facility was BEAUTIFUL. Loved all the artistic details! Our room was wonderful. The bed was super comfortable. The japanese bath was awesome. We loved the view from our balcony. Really appreciated the free coffee and fruit in the morning. The place was also very quiet. It was very well located within walking distance from the cliffs and restaurants.

Cons:

The grounds could use a little dusting and sweeping, but super lovely.

Pros:

The theme of each room was unique and were thoughtfully laid out and included artful details. Solanna(?sp) was the artist in residence and was so interesting to talk with.

Cons:

Manager was a little brusque with us about check out time (11AM), having knocked on the door (11-02 AM) and saying "I thought you were out! showing his thumb behind his head. We were checking any missed items.

Pros:

Nice room and really liked the patio and view

Cons:

In the Bookings.com reservation it seemed like the room slept 3 people and that there was a separate bed, which is why I booked it. There was no separate bed so ended up having to share a king bed.

Worth it and we will be back :)
Pros:

Location was perfect. We walked to everything we wanted to do in Del Mar. Quick drive to La Jolla as well.

Cons:

Overall cool vibe. Don’t expect modern, sterile, spotless rooms. They have character and you can tell the building is older.. overall felt clean enough and comfortable!
