The breakfast service at BWP Del Mar is exceptional. The food is very healthy, fresh and delicious. The breakfasts are unlike almost any hotel breakfasts I have experienced that come with the price of the room in this regard. Real eggs, nice and varied fresh fruit, great (unsweetened if that's how you prefer it) Greek yogurt, etc. The Cafe is also very flexible in terms of what one can order as part of the 'included in the price of room' breakfast, which was most appreciated. Plus, the staff were friendly and professional. I also booked a room with a kitchenette (don't forget to ask for the kitchenette set on check-in as the cabinets are not pre-stocked!) and that was very useful for me. The room was pretty and very comfortable. I also liked the very small porch outside the room. Location on the charming main street of Del Mar (Camino del Mar) is also fantastic. People should understand in advance so they're not disappointed, however, that there is no direct beach access behind the hotel, but rather via a short walk down the street.

Can't think of anything.

Location with easy access to Torrey Pines, La Jolla and Del Mar areas. Bed was comfortable. Microwave, sink, fridge and safe was in the room. Balcony with view to sea (not seafront) as accurately described on their web-site.

There was a big gap around the entrance door of the room and also a peep hole where lots of light from the hallway was in the room all night making it very difficult to sleep. It was like actually having the light on in the room. We put tissue paper in the peep hole, but there was still a lot of light coming into the room. I slept well only one of the three nights while there. Therefore, I cannot recommend this hotel if you are traveling on business. Probably it is fine for holiday travel. I reported the issue about the bright light and the gap in the door at check out. Hopefully the desk attendant relayed the information to the owners so that this might be addressed.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great place to stay. More expensive than hotels in other local towns as you are staying in Del Mar but it's a really nice safe town. Excellent pool and jacuzzi area containing a fire pit to warm you up and pool towels that are laid out for you. Stayed 4 nights and would book here again! Also an excellent and very busy Mexican restaurant, En Fuego Cantina, in walking distance. Worth going to if you like Mexican food.

The onsite small cafe could have been better supplied with breakfast options to make this stay even better.

Amazing cafe, the breakfast burrito was excellent, easy check in and out, very quiet place to stay (amazing for our second ever vacation without kids). I would defiantly suggest this place to others. the whole place was clean, staff responded quickly when we needed extra towels, and coffee for the room. The only downfall was the safe didn't work but electronics all have an issue at one point or another and it does affect how much I enjoyed staying here.

The safe didn't work.

We were pleasantly surprised that the property was so well-maintained. The whole place is clean and it felt special...even a "living room" with a fireplace. The check in was easy, and so was the check out. There's a little pool, a little cafe, and a dog park right next to the property. You can see the ocean from certain rooms...ask for that! And it was on the small side. A full range in the studio apartment, sliding glass doors, a little patio. Exceptional value right in the heart of Del Mar!

The pillows were stiff...so...bring your own...or buy a cheap one if you are staying more than a night. Everything else...amazing!

Our stay here was the best experience we have ever had. The location was so quiet, and restful. The staff were so polite and respectful, and the room was perfect. I want to be included in your list of notifications when you are having special discounts. We were in room 121 and it was perfect! The cafe was a different experience but well worth the upgrade because the food there was great! Thank you. P.S.-I do not usually do surveys but the stay here warrants a heads up for a great time there.

The room and staff

Front desk staff super helpful in showing flexibility with our departure time. Housekeeping staff very friendly and courteous and kept room very clean. Convenient to have a nice cafe on site, and nice to have direct access to ocean via back of hotel (although no signage about that).

We had full size beds in our room and they proved to be quite cramped for a family of four. Cafe staff did not seem to know how to make an ice coffee...made one without ice? Lol.

The location was great. The hotel was charming. We enjoyed the pool. The front desk person was very friendly and helpful.

There was a restaurant which was closed the first couple of days of our stay. They did provide some pastries, fruit, cereal and yogurt, however, in the front desk area which was nice. We had breakfast one morning during our stay and it was mediocre.

I loved the ocean view from the 3rd floor. The bed and pillow were comfortable and the size of the bathroom was very nice for 3 people.

The fluorescent lights in the hallway were unpleasant and cheapened the ambiance. Also, the exit stairwell door seems to be awkward for opening and closing and could be a safety hazard. I did not realize it was a 15 minute walk to the beach. I thought it had closer access.

Cool little "boutique" style hotel in an awesome seaside community. Reasonably sized "mini suite" with a large comfortable bed and a full kitchenette (dishes/silverware, sink, fridge, microwave, etc.) All rooms have a small terrace, so you can sit and enjoy the cool ocean breeze. My room had a lovely partial ocean view (see photo): to address the earlier review that stated the only view available was of trees--that's not entirely true. It really depends upon where your room is located on the property. I was in the middle of the hotel. The property is essentially in a residential area & the trees are on the property of the home that sits directly behind the hotel (I bet you too would have massive palm trees on your property to block the view, if there was a 100 + room hotel facing your house). To get the best view you want to request a room that's on the far end of the property, the opposite end from hotel registration. (Also keep in mind this is NOT beachfront property, so you can still see the other homes in the neighborhood) Nice pool/Jacuzzi area & onsite cafe for breakfast/brunch Cool shops, restaurants, bars, within walking distance. The Del Mar Racetrack/Fairgrounds are 5 minutes by car (can walk, but it's a bit of a trek). Torrey Pines is less than 10 minutes away and it's about 20 drive to the exquisite beaches/shops/and other attractions of La Jolla

No serious complaints but just to present the full picture... The ice machine was broken (there is only 1) 4 days of my stay in the middle of a late summer California (105 degrees) heatwave. Nothing a $3.97-- 20 pound bag of ice from Walmart couldn’t solve. Since I had a freezer in the room, it lasted the entire stay. Also, I had to extend my stay a day at the last minute but my room type was sold out, so I had to give up my ocean view. Everything else about the new room was the same plus it had a nicer kitchenette. Lastly, the cafe closed too early (breakfast only--I'm not really a breakfast person). It would be nice to have a onsite option for lunch or dinner.
