DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego - Del Mar
Breakfast was way overpriced and the parking was terrible. I called for room service and they didn’t answer for almost an hour. For the area they were in I think the cost was too much. I would not recommend paying for parking because it was always a hit or miss.

Southern California Beach Club
The one disappointment was not having an ocean view room. We were told owners have priority to get those rooms, but if requested ahead of time if available, we could get one . However, we could still hear the ocean.
