Very nice hotel. Checked in after midnight and they still had cookies for us (even warm). Gave us free bottles of water. A typical upper-end (not a Four Seasons) *business* hotel. I would not stay here for a fun trip. Room was fine with good bed, nice bathroom and decent amenities. Window opened so i could get fresh air. My only complaint is that I could hear the person next door talking on the phone through the connecting door. And, with the window open, I could clearly hear the freeway.

Would I stay there again? Sure. Not excellent, but decent value.

I had a great and comfortable one night stay at the Doubletree in San Diego/Del Mar. The rooms are honestly comparable to any room at another 4 star hotel including to stays I have had at the Hyatt and Hilton. I could tell the room I stayed in had all the standard newly renovated features including new furniture and a more modern feeling all around.

I would not say the location is the best to where you can walk to local attractions although it is very conveniently located near the 5 freeway which is a good outlet for getting around.

Nothing really negative to say about the Doubletree in San Diego/Del Mar aside from the need for more or better serviced elevators. I stayed on the 5th floor(also the top floor) and it took about 5 minutes at one point just for the elevator to reach the top floor and go down to the lobby. The elevator really seemed overused and it showed definite signs of depreciation.

The hotel is located in the subrubs of San Diego. SInce we were visiting a friend in University City, we wanted to be close to him yet accessible to all the sights in SD. Teh Doubletree was wonderful! The area has developed so there are more restaurants and coffee shops around, although there are still many office buildings. It is right on the highway so we didn't have to deal with much traffic and getting in and out was fine.
The Doubletree rooms were well kept and maintained, the beds are wonderful! We sat in the hot tub almost every night, not many takers in late December for an outdoor hot tub, but it was warm and clean.

We just spent 4 nights there as part of our family vacation to the San Diego area and we had a great experience at this hotel. Everything was very clean and felt relatively new. Very nice pool and workout facilities. Very convenient to local attractions, including La Jolla, the beach and Torrey Pines. Convenient shopping and restaurants nearby. Great for adults and kids. I highly recommend. (fyi, we paid the std internet rate, somewhere around $140).

Only minor complaint is there is a lot of traffic noise sitting by the pool as it is very near a couple of busy roads.
