I stayed here for 3 nights with my wife on a long weekend get-a-way. The property is beautiful and the staff was very kind and accommodating. Location is just south of the main Del Mar downtown area, very easy walk into town. We actually never touched our car if we were staying in the Del Mar area. Tons of great shopping and amazing restaurants within walking distance. Close to the sea cliffs where you can watch a romantic sunset then be back in your room in 5 mins. Really great value for the quality of the room. Our room was very large with a huge bathroom and a large shower. All the decor was beachy modern... and it felt like it should be way more expensive than what we paid. Would stay here in a min... If my room had a kitchen I don't think we would have gone home! Thank you to all the staff... you guys are amazing!

Friends recommended Hotel Indigo Del Mar and we are so glad we stayed there. The hotel is within walking distance of multiple restaurants and the beach. Our room was quiet, comfortable and spacious. The neighborhood is cute and extremely safe, with lots to do nearby. We felt comfortable walking home from a restaurant after dark. We really enjoyed being able to see the ocean from our room. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and professional. We hope to stay here again next time we're in the area.

Love this place. Big shout out to Santana at the restaurant. He is really cool, awesome and takes care of his customers in a very friendly and hospitable way.

As for the hotel, we have stayed here twice now. The pool has 10 ft section, which you can practice if you want to learn how to float. The place is very clean and safe.

Employees here are friendly and amazing. My wife and I would love to stay here again and again

We were met with the best receptionist, Barbara, who has worked there for 23 years. She is so pleasant and accomodating. We also met her 2 years ago when we stayed there also. The room was fabulous with a balcony and could see the later. It was very quiet and parking was abundant. The only issue we had was the bartender on 12/4 in the evening. He was not very pleasant and did have good energy. Other than that the location is perfect and you can enjoy downtown very easily. A favorite of ours for a local getaway.

Once again, we were not disappointed in our stay at Hotel Indigo. Being away at Christmas time (in a hotel room) can be challenging, if home is where you want to be. We were genuinely welcomed back by front desk staff, each time we returned from a day trip, truly making it feel like home. We were treated like family, and Christmas felt good.

Our room had a beautiful ocean view, was clean, and welcoming. The pool, in the courtyard, was crystal clear and inviting. Each lounge chair had a towel, and used ones were immediately taken away once vacated.

There is an outdoor seating area, above the pool on the 2nd floor, with Adirondack chairs, cushioned sofas/chairs to take in the breathtaking view of the ocean.

We had Christmas Eve cocktails, in the restaurant on site, where the dining room was decorated to the hilt with Christmas decorations. Breakfast was also great in this restaurant.

We will be back, Hotel Indigo Del Mar, CA! Thanks for another great time.

My stay at the hotel indigo San Diego was excellent as always. This is the 13th time I’ve stayed here and I enjoy myself every time. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, and the amenities are fantastic. The pool and hot tub were very clean and the towels are readily available in the spa area.

Great location. We loved the pool and jacuzzi. The pool next to jacuzzi was heated water so perfect for swimming in cooler cloudy foggy weather. The weather was really disappointing, but we still enjoyed staying here and walk around the Del Mar village and park. We will definitely come back here when it's sunny to enjoy blue sky and ocean. Thanks to maintain clean hotel. Rooms are renovated. I love the floor and no carpet.

We wanted to love this hotel. The location is really wonderful and quite close to the ocean. Barbara and Mia were very hospitable with welcoming smiles and a desire to please.

We were very late arrivals due to a long driving day, so we could not take in the view or amenities; A comfortable night’s sleep was on our agenda. When we awoke, we immediately wanted to take in the ocean and sunshine. Unfortunately, the design of this property is pool-centric so all rooms faced by one of two pools. The result was a kind of fishbowl sensation. Raising the Roman shades felt invasive. The same charm of cliffside construction that most likely made this a top destination in decades past, became a deficit now as multi million dollar residences encroached on the views.

Determined to try to make the most of our 4night stay, we navigated up and around multiple iron-gated staircases to the lobby level restaurant which was a respite. The breakfast was excellent and Ian, our server was delightful and attentive. Service is very good here but our family ultimately determined that we needed a less constrictive feel to the last leg of our California vacation, particularly since I have been suffering from vertigo. Upon hearing of our plan to check out, Barbara jumped into action to try to find a more comfortable solution for us. She offered accommodation on a higher floor which would have been better, but we declined. The property has a great deal of potential and is ideal for runners, cyclists, and physically fit.

This review was difficult to write as we really appreciated Barbara’s efforts. It’s understandable why she has been passionate about the Indigo Del Mar for more than two decades.
