Homewood Suites by Hilton San Diego-Del Mar

I’ve stayed here twice over the last two months for a total of 6 days. The staff is great, the breakfast is good, easy on/​off the highway and well lit ‘free’ parking. It’s obviously a popular place to stay for those travelling on business — and the hotel is beginning to show signs of wear. I do like the small kitchen and the rooms are larger than average.
The hotel next door has a small bar if you need a drink — outside the ‘reception’ hours. There’s really nothing in walking distance, but there are lots of food/​shopping options within 10 minutes or so. Definitely a contender if you are looking for a place to stay in the area.

We have 3 small kids (4 & under). Our heater was broken. We discovered this issue at 6:45 pm. It took a little over an hour to resolve. Nice engineer. New thermostat needed. Otherwise, nice rooms, clean, nice kitchenette. The hotel staff was very nice.

Clean hotel, friendly service, great location, ample free Parking, free breakfast and weekday dinners, nice pool and hot tub
but– some cutlery missing upon check-​in, and gym is way too small! Also terrible wifi connection in my room:(

After searching the web to be near the heart of San Diego, I finally found this place. AWESOME DISCOVERY! This place has one of the best breakfast 7am-​10am and free shuttle service within 5 mile radius that can go to the shopping area, Del Mar beach, Torry Pines. All rooms had a pullout bed from the sofa and the rooms were very spacious with stove and refrigerator. This is the place to book a room when traveling to San Diego. Thru priceline got a deal $ 109/​night on 25^th of December

Fiancé and I stayed in San Diego for a few days for a little getaway and this was place was fabulous! Our suite was spacious and clean, and the hotel was nice and quiet. Bed was comfy too! Breakfast in the morning was tasty with good options, and the dinners they serve at night were great too! I wish we were staying longer so I could try the pasta and BBQ nights! Not having to worry about dinner was a nice touch I haven’t seen at any other hotels.
Also, the staff was SO nice and helpful. Everyone we had contact with throughout our stay was wonderful. Definitely recommend!

Very comfortable hotel. Complimentary dinners on Monday — Thursday. Complimentary hot and cold breakfast every day. You get a full sized fridge, dishwasher, 2 burner stove, and microwave. You get a nice living room and a dining table with two chairs. 2 adults and 2 young children in a 1 bedroom king sized bed suite. 24 hour hot tea and coffee bar in the lobby. Very accomodating staff. I loved my stay here and highly highly highly recommend it for families! Thanks for the wonderful visit.

Family of four visiting Legoland in Carlsbad and Sea World in San Diego for four days. This hotel is conveniently located in the center of both theme parks. Only 15 minutes from each place. Great breakfast, very comfortable bed and beautiful location! Special thank you to Silvia who gave us excellent service with a beautiful smile! Also to David, who was on top of things in the dining area. My son spilled apple juice and David was gracious to help clean it up with a great attitude. We enjoyed the swimming pool and hot tub. We were gone all day and missed the free dinner. Not giving five stars due to fire alarm set by some kids at 4:45am…we never received any apology for the inconvenience of having to stand outside. Overall… it was a great place to stay and I would definitely stay again.
Also…very handy to have the list of restaurants, banks and movie theater with directions!
Thank you!

Thanks so much to Dan, who answered the phone when I called. I was checking into last min availability and Dan was supremely helpful, offering rate info and being very accommodating.
It was late at night and I’m sure there were other things to attend to, but Dan was cheerful and friendly. I truly appreciated the customer service and while in the end, I managed to stay with a relative, I wanted to say thank you and also thanks for having great service! Next time I need a hotel in the area, I’ll call here first!

I rarely give five stars. This hotel did a great job. I was here on govt. travel and found the location ideal in terms of accessibility to the freeways. I had to travel south to get to my conference and it seemed traffic was heavy in the opposite directions both morning and late afternoon. A couple of exits north takes one to fantastic eateries. Hotel staff was pleasant and attentive. Hotel offers gratis breakfast and dinner too! Kitchen in suite of rooms. I had originally tried to book at Embassy Inn and Suites but they were booked and recommended this place. Highly satisfactory!

I ended up staying here with a few friends a couple months ago while they were doing some construction on some of the floors. This hotel is very nice and very well priced for what you get. Our room had a full kitchen, living room, and a separate bedroom. The people at the front desk were super friendly as well.

This place was really nice. Came here for our sons birthday the weekend of March 27^th for 2 nights. Our room was super clean, fully stocked, and spacious. The kitchen is well maintained. The refrigerator and stove spotless. Their staff is very helpful & friendly. The gym is quiet and also clean. Their complimentary breakfast was good. They offer eggs, bacon, cereal, bagels, and other items.
Our room had a patio with a small table and two chairs leading to their heated pool and Jacuzzi area where my hubby and I could watch our boys go for a night swim. We really enjoyed that.
They have a comfy sofa-​bed in the living room and still had some space to walk a bit!
I really recommend this one bedroom suite with a king-​size bed. The prices are reasonable and its right in the middle of all the attractions. A big plus for us is that it’s only 15 minutes away from Old Town San Diego. We are definitely staying here again!
Enjoy!

The biggest drawback is the street noise. I did find this hotel clean with all the typical homewood services.
The pool is small with well overgrown vegetation.

Homewood is doing something right when they hire and train their staff because the service was OUTSTANDING. Every single person we interacted with during our 6 night stay showed the best customer service. Special thanks to David in the dining room and all of the women at the front desk who made our stay perfect.
The rooms were kept very clean, but could benefit from some small updates. The location was easy to get to the San Diego Zoo (20 min) Sea World (15 min) and La Jolla (10 min).
The complimentary breakfast and Mon-​Thu dinners were a plus for a week-​long family trip. Our daughter (5) loved the breakfast options and we enjoyed the complimentary wine/​beer after a long day of touristing around San Diego. I will definitely stay at Homewood Suites for another family vacation.

This was the second time I’ve checked in at Homewood. The first was at Orlando Florida. Their rooms are bigger than other hotels with full size refrigerator, complete kitchen equipment with plates, utensils, and microwave oven. They also provide free breakfast for the whole family everyday! The hotel staff are always helpful, kind and accommodating! They are the best! Thanks a lot for your great SERVICE! We appreciate it!

Stayed here for a weekend getaway with my boyfriend and we both agreed well definitely be coming back. We were running a bit ahead of schedule and called to see if there was a possibility of early check in. Gentleman at the front desk was very polite and helpful. He greeted us with a smile and a complimentary bottled water. (Which I was so grateful for because I was parched. Anywho getting off topic :) upon entering the room we were pleasantly surprised to see the cute little kitchen. Even provided pot and pans! The room was very clean and quiet. The bed was very comfy. You will not regret your stay here!

Rooms are really old and it feels like an really OLD spring mattress. Does any hotel really use those any more? Was suppose to be here for 5 days, and will need to relocate. I have stayed in nicer budget hotels… I am so disappointed.
The mattress has stains and what looks like bugs on the edge of it. YIKES. Tried to post photos, but it would not let me.
The staff is really nice, but for the price, it is just too old and outdated for my comfort level. I have stayed in many Homewood Suites, but this one is the worst room I have had.
So bummed, I have to move hotels, I have a lot of stuff. They told me there was nothing they could do because they are sold out tonight.

We stayed here for 5 nights in July, and were very happy with everything. The staff is super friendly, they go out of their way to help you as much as they can.
The rooms are very comfortable and clean, the air conditioning works great and is quiet.
The free dinners Monday-​Thursday are excellent, the breakfasts is good.
The location is 20 minute drive from Balboa Park, skip hop and jump from la jolla beach, 25 minutes from lego land.
I highly recommend this establishment

Yes this is a hotel in the middle of a residential/​office park area. The only other hotel nearby is its sister hotel, the Hilton Garden. The hotel is nice. Very clean and the staff is super nice and accommodating. When we checked in, they even gave us a pack of Milanos. Hey it may not be much but when you’re used to getting nada from other hotels, this is great!
You get free breakfast M-​Su. Breakfast consists of a variety of scrambled eggs, ham, bacon, oatmeal and waffles. The protein rotates on a daily basis. Dinner is available on M-​Th. Dinner is ok. Not as good as the breakfast. I’ve had broccoli beef and bruschetta chicken during my stay. The entrée usually comes with a side like mashed potatoes or rice. You can also make your own salad. I’m not going to complain since I’m saving money by eating at the hotel. For you wine lovers, you also have a choice of white or red wine with your dinner.
I like the kitchen inside the suite. It’s stocked with a full sized fridge, stove, microwave, pots and dishes. I noticed that housekeeping washes the coffee pot because you don’t get the usual coffee taste when you use the pot to make tea. You can also get dish washing liquid and a sponge upon request. Even though you can use the dishwasher, I prefer to hand wash my cups. Especially all those mega sized cups we collected from all those theme parks we visited!
Overall, this is a great place to stay and I would consider staying at another Homewood Suites!

I planned an excursion to the SD Zoo and wanted a local hotel to stay there for the night. I requested an early check in that morning but the clerk stated that he was unable to fulfill the request since they had a flood the night before and didn’t have availability until the normal check-​in time. I stopped by the hotel when I got in so that I could leave my luggage with the concierge before going to the zoo. They were very accommodating and had our stuff in the room prior to coming back after the zoo at 5pm. The zoo is a fairly quick drive from the hotel, so location is ideal.
Free parking– big plus. The hotel is tucked away on a corporate street, so it’s fairly quiet, but still close to the freeway.
The hotel doesn’t have a restaurant or room service. The check-​in clerk, Enrique, told me about the restaurant in the hotel next door that will take phone orders for pick up. Unfortunately, they don’t have that restaurant’s (Bistro 39) menu available in the room so you have to look it up on the net.
The hotel lobby is clean and spacious. The room itself was great, fairly standard looking, not dated or cheap. The kitchen is stocked with glasses, plates, utensils, coffee maker, the refrigerator/​freezer is small but not the tiny type that is 2.5 ft tall. It held all of our drinks, wine and leftovers without a problem. We used the sofa bed for our toddler in the living room, and semi-​closed the door to the bedroom for TV time. This was one of the main reasons I chose this hotel compared to other hotels.
We took her to pool & jacuzzi, pretty busy with families at 6pm. I appreciated that the staff brings out clean towels to the pool so that you don’t have to bring your bath towels from the bathroom (only 2).
The toilet and shower/​bath are in a room separated from the mirror and sink. I didn’t mind, but some people would rather have it all in one room for privacy. The water pressure is good.
Our window view looked down into the middle of the property, at the pool. This was nice, better than looking at the parking lot on the other side.
Since the hotel had a significant flood, there were fans and blowers all over the hallways. They had to take apart the siding of the walls so there was construction noise until 8−9pm the evening I was there. It was kind of gross, muggy and hot in the hallways. There were some guys that had to come into the room to ask about water damage and measure something on the wall. I didn’t mind too much, since bad luck happens to all of us.
The free breakfast was much appreciated. They serve scrambled eggs, eggs with spinach and cheddar, make your own waffles, fruit, yogurt parfait, oatmeal with fixings, sausage or bacon (?), tea/​coffee/​milk/​juice that included cute plastic kids cups with funky straws. I asked one of the service guys to bring over a high chair since I was carrying my baby, and he was really kind and helpful.
I would definitely choose to stay at a Homewood Suites again.

I stayed here four nights recently when I was on a business trip to San Diego.
It’s a little ways out from San Diego (about 17 miles north) and in the middle of an upscale residential area, with many biotech firms nearby, so don’t expect to find anything within walking distance. (I did find, however, that there are good running and biking paths in the area.)
One main criteria I use to judge hotels is how well I’m able to sleep at night. This one scored well, with a very quiet air conditioner and lack of other noise. The room is comfortable and spacious, and comes with a small kitchen. Of course, along with that they have coffee makers in the rooms.
There’s free Internet included with the rooms, both wired and wireless, and I had no problems with either.
Another plus to this hotel are the meals that are included in the price of the room. The breakfast is decent, with scrambled eggs and another hot dish, along with oatmeal, yogurt, grapefruit, and various breads and muffins. The dinners that they serve M-​F between 5 to 7 pm are just so-​so, and I wouldn’t recommend them unless you’re really trying to save money.
All in all, I would recommend this place if you don’t mind being a little ways out from the city and are looking for a comfortable place to stay. It’s especially good for business travel.
