Cute, quiet little place, tucked away. Room was homey, did not feel like a hotel. Staff were great, very friendly.

There are just a few issues that if resolved could make this better. 1. The coffee bar was not stocked all the time. Breakfast was good but it would have been nice to have a cup of juice or mike with the meal. 2. The Microwave was broken. 3. One day we had no hot water. It was fixed not sure why it was a problem. All in all we had a good stay just need some finishing touches.

This is a cozy little hideaway that I thoroughly enjoyed staying at. Location is excellent. And the included breakfast comes from an amazing little Peruvian restaurant. I would stay there again.

This place is a little hidden gem! You check in at their sister property, Les Artists Inn, and they show you the way to this property approximately 2 blocks away. It only has 4 rooms total. The vibe is a very Bali/zen type of decor. It is attached to a wonderful Peruvian restaurant where you get your FREE breakfast. Their empanadas are to die for! Don't forget to tip your chef!! He will take care of you! This place is in the heart of del mar within walking distance to all restaurants, shops, and the beach. We will definitely stay here again!!

this was the cutest little gem in downtown Del Mar, but I didn't feel like I was in the middle of downtown.

The room was very nice. Rustic room that was very comfortable. Great value for the area and close to the beach.

The location was great and the unique way that the grounds and room were decorated added to the enjoyment of the stay. Natana, who was our personal contact person if we needed anything was awesome.

This hideaway is a gem. This place is beautiful, clean, quaint, and comfortable. There’s a balcony with a view of the ocean. Has a small tub/jacuzzi in the room. A coffee station is just outside the room. Secure parking is very close to the room. You won’t be disappointed.

Charming and unique and a great deal!

The room in which I stayed was beautifully decorated with Knick nacks . The bed was extremely comfortable. Despite what other reviews said about this hotel being noisy, I found the Secret Garden Inn quiet. The breakfast included was delicious . I would definitely stay at The Secret Garden Inn again .

So cute, bohemian. The breakfast was excellent, convenient coffee maker, the jacuzzi tub drain stopper did not work, so we could not use it other than to shower, the manager is kind of rude, but the owner is sweet and a very talented architect and designer. Will stay at this one or Les Artiste - owned by same owner - again.

WE loved the place when we arrived but when we went to bed I woke to bites on my legs...maybe fleas??? We also noticed that the sheets were full of sand and crumbs. Spoke to the manager and he said that clean sheets were placed but he has been very short on staff for the cleaning. This is not what I expected and we are very disappointed.

The property is super cute. We loved that we could walk to grab a coffee then walk over to the beach. It was a unique and comfortable stay. The only downside to the property was the noise from the upstairs room. It gets extremely loud. We were not able to fall asleep and if we did, the noise would wake us up. Just hope the upstairs isn't rented out during your stay!

This is a fun and funky place for a few days when in Del Mar. The location is great, near shopping and dining and only a five minute walk to the ocean. Our room, the Lotus room had a partial view of the water. Our innkeeper, John, was very friendly and helpful. Included is a great, made-to-order breakfast, provided by the attached Peruvian Cafe. Choose from about half a dozen delicious options. The croissant sandwich was so tasty that I had it both mornings. The room was not overly large but had everything we needed. It reminded us of some laid-back places we have stayed in the Caribbean.There are only four rooms so it doesn’t feel like a big corporate hotel. The Secret Garden Inn has a sister property in the next block, Les Artistes Inn, and it looks equally unique and fun. We would recommend it and would return if our travels take us to the Del Mar area.

Rooms are beautifully designed but very small.
