"Room was clean and well lit grounds at night. Unfortunately check in was rough. Staff was so rude. While I was waiting to check in I was given a pool key. I went back to the reception and someone else was there. I tried to explain I had a key for the pool but I wanted to see if I could get a room key now and finish my check in. He interrupted me mid sentence and said "are you trying to check in? Let's cut to it so I can help faster" mind you there was no one else in the lobby. Rude and short for no reason."

"We had a wonderful stay at Secret Garden Inn in Del Mar. We stayed in the two-bedroom suite, and it exceeded our expectations. The private balcony offered a beautiful ocean view and was the perfect place to relax with a morning coffee or unwind in the evening. The in-room hot tub was a great bonus and made our stay feel extra special. Breakfast was included and was absolutely delicious, with fresh, high-quality options that started each day on a great note. The property is charming, peaceful, and full of character, while the location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops. If you’re looking for a relaxing coastal getaway with unique accommodations, beautiful views, and thoughtful amenities, Secret Garden Inn is an excellent choice. We would definitely stay here again!"
