Winners Circle Solana Beach Del Mar Resort

Location

N/A

It was everything I could have hoped for and more. The room was spacious and well appointed. The heated pool was especially comfortable first thing in the morning. The hotel itself was perfectly situated between the beach, dining, and the fair grounds.

Where do I even start? We got there pretty late, but check-in was fine. The night attendant was very friendly, nice, and professional. He was a gentleman, and we had no problems with him at all. The rooms did smell a bit muggy, just like some of the other reviews mentioned. That being said, the room was pretty clean, and I honestly didn't notice anything dirty. The air conditioning worked fine, and regulating the temperature in both rooms was no problem. The next morning, the cleaning crew above us was pretty loud. I'm not really going to complain about that because, at the end of the day, they have to do their jobs. Then came the coffee situation. The room provided coffee, but there was no creamer. That's fine if you drink your coffee black, but I don't. So I went down to the front desk to ask if they had any creamer. During check-in, I had noticed they had a coffee station, so I figured it was a simple question. I waited in line patiently because there were other guests checking in. When it was finally my turn, the lady at the front desk—the one who wears entirely too much makeup, as mentioned in some of the other reviews—told me I was going to have to wait because she needed to help the guests checking in first. She also told me that coffee hours were at 6 a.m. and that it wasn't coffee hours anymore. I politely explained that I wasn't asking for coffee. The room already had coffee. I was simply asking for some creamer. I'm sure she was aware that the rooms provided coffee, considering she works there. There were two attendants at the desk. I stood off to the side while she continued helping other guests. More guests arrived and noticed me standing there. I explained that I was waiting for some creamer, and even they didn't understand why I was being made to wait. Eventually, she decided to get me some. It took maybe 30 seconds.
