Del Mar trip
 

I will be going to be visiting Del Mar my first time at the end of this month. Can anyone suggest any hotels that have balconies near the ocean in the san diego area? Also, if there are any good restaurants you can reccomend.

Place I remember being great were:

Bullys: http://bullysprimerib.com/

Brigantine:http://www.brigantine.com/brigantine_seafood

Best fish Taco's ever! http://www.roadfood.com/Restaurant/O...itas-taco-shop

The Hilton is right across the street from Del Mar Race Track and there are so many great places to eat in Del Mar , what type of food are you looking for? You will have a blast, Del Mar is gorgeous!

Bullys is the absolute best, a must when you go there.

So two votes for Bully's already so that is must go.

Does this hotel have balcony rooms overlooking the ocean?

You can also drive a couple miles north to Cardiff By The Sea for more places, they have a chart house restaurant on the ocean.

The dude is a helicopter, if he jumped off the balcony I'm sure he could fly.

Ive always stayed with friends while there but here is one of my favorite places to grab a bite to eat http://www.delmarrendezvous.com/

Red Tractons is right across the street from the track, it's real pricey but has very good food, a lot of the track people eat there, I love Jeff Rubys Steakhouse, it's great, actually there are several great places in Del Mar and San Diego, your smart phone will be great to just choose, I'm sure more people will chime in with their favorites, you'll have a great time, Del Mar is great!

Also, if you want to venture up into Del Mar Heights there are a couple of new places in the same center:
http://www.burlapeats.com/ - overly trendy and can't speak much to the food, but a good looking place in every sense.
http://www.davantidelmar.com/ - good wine and small plates.

jakes is very good

Not sure what your budget is...

There is a Courtyard by Marriott, a Clarion, and a few other brand names hotels in the Del Mar area. Nothing is very economical though, especially if you want ocean views...

The Sheraton in the Marina is running a special on a two night stay.

Brigitine's has balcony seating where you can see the race from your table. Good food, awesome atmosphere. Chantal was eating there when I went.

Solano Beach is right down the road. Awesome low-key beach

agree

Great stuff. Thanks for the recomendations everyone. I will make the del mar trip this year and 2013 summer I will take the Saratoga trip.

Don't stay in La Jolla you may never see the sun. Hop the Coaster and get downtown to the Gas Lamp.
