We really enjoyed our time at the Stratford Inn and will be back for a little escape from it all very soon. The staff was very helpful and the newly remodelled rooms were just perfect. Just down the street from the beach and an area to run in the morning, loved this place!!! More

We're so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us. Thanks for the kind words.

Also, if you like to run there's one of the best marathons in the US called the... More

We've been staying at the Stratford Hotel in Del Mar for over seven years. We generally stay in the 'suites'. The staff and the accomodations are always superb. Our last visit in November had been our only visit to Del Mar in the past two years. My wife and I live in Phoenix, AZ and our son is a student... More

I live in San Diego and was in charge of planning a family reunion for my extended family who were all coming from Texas (more than 30 people). After touring and researching more than 10 properties, I chose The Stratford Inn (although the name is soon to change). Laura, the sales manager, could not have been more helpful and accommodating.... More

What a nice place, inside and out! Our Christmas suite was clean, quiet, comfortable and pleasantly decorated. Two highlights of our room for us were the shower and ESPECIALLY the bed and luxury bedding!. The ongoing renovations were never an inconvenience or nuisance and we can not wait to see the completed project. For this price range we have not... More

I booked a room at this hotel in December for one night about two months in advance. Upon check in, I found out this hotel was being renovated. Fine. However, they wanted to put me in a room that was in a just renovated building that they wouldn't recommend taking a shower in because they just finished construction. Who wants... More
