We stayed at this place during memorial day weekend for four nights, paid avg 259/night about 1200 total. First the good, the property is located at a higly walkable area with restaurants, parks, shops etc. One of the few places that had free parking and breakfast included. The bad, the rooms have eclectic decoration style, however the layout is very inconvenient for a multi night stay. The bathtub is inside the bedroom with a shower curtain separating the sleeping area and the shower. The ugly, the hotel did put any effort in cleaning the room before we reached the property. The bathtub and the sink had moldy stains, the entry way had spiders and cobwebs, the balcony was dusty with dried leaves piled up. The worst of all the balcony curtains had red stains and moldy smell. The hotel didn't have onsite reception, we called housekeeping the next day after check-in for fresh curtains and bedsheets. Though we loved delmar we will opt for other places to stay next time for the rent we paid.
I’ve stayed here many times and it is always wonderful. Ran by great people, that do a great job. whenever I visit Del Mar this is where I always stay. I Look forward to my next stay. thank you.
I chanced across Secret Garden Inn while looking on Apple Maps for a nice place for my family and I to spend the night since they were driving in from OC. We had initially only intended to stay the one night but my parents loved the penthouse suite so much we extended our stay another night (if we weren't all working on Monday, it may have been a longer stay haha). The rooms are so tastefully decorated, cozy, artistic, eclectic vibes. For anyone who watches kdramas, this is like the rooftop apartment the female lead would live in. I would rate the rooms technically a 4.5, it got pretty warm in the bedroom at night and the AC was pretty old and didn't work well. The Peruvian restaurant, Coya, that it's behind is also phenomenal, we got breakfast from there both days as well as dinner one night. Overall, the perfect place to spend a little staycation. My family and I are definitely planning on returning.
Very cozy little place nestled in the back streets of uptown Del Mar. Great for something akin to air bnb with its own little touch. Low profile place that I somehow living a half mile away from it for a couple years and riding past on my bike never even noticed it. The inn keeper as you start the adventure of checking in was an extremely kind woman who was a pleasure to chat with and let me know all the details about the food and restaurant details when I got there and was extremely easy to work with while checking in. Ocean view is as advertised and the “nice cream” ice cream store on the same block made for a great snack at night. It’s like a Mexican restaurant meets a castle meets a European style boutique room (in the most complimentary way possible). Worth mentioning it is literally below a restaurant so you do hear some of that activity but if you’re a person who likes to feel like things are going on around you and your expectations aren’t unreasonable I think you’ll enjoy it.
We loved it. The food in cafe secret is incredible. We didn't reserve a table and so we asked if they could serve us on the patio outside our room and they were happy to do so. It ended up being the perfect place to eat, private and we could linger. Breakfast which is included was as good as dinner. I definitely will come back. A peaceful and romantic getaway.
