The hotel is overall a very good value. Its location in La Jolla near the ocean and all the good La Jolla shops/restaurants is great. Mostly all was favorable, although definitely not fancy. A few small things were a little annoying… For example, it has an old-school bathtub and shower curtain, when everyone wants a standup shower these days (I think). The coffee maker is good but not great. But again for the value, location, staff and general amenities plus parking (not too high of a price), this place presents an overall excellent value.

Most was good. Bed seemed a bit short and I"m only 5' 10" Warn persons to look over how the rooms work before doing much. AC control, lights, tea/coffee maker, lights in bathroom. TV control These can differ a lot from hotel to hotel.. "Lounge" was too far from most of the rooms and very awkward to go there. See other comments of mine. Frederick Gable Riverside

We have stayed in this hotel many times. It is located in the best area of La Jolla, near the sea, restaurants, shops, museums, etc. the rooms are spacious, with tons of natural light. The staff is friendly. It could use some refurbishments. But if you consider the price for what you’re getting, you can ignore some little improvements they could make. We will continue to stay there!

This is a more affordable option for this pricey area. We were here for a wedding, so wanted to keep the price down. Hotel was very clean, housekeeping every other day. Didn’t have food onsite but had option of a local restaurant to bring in room service. Also had coupons for local places for discounts. Coffee available in the lobby every morning, and a guest service room with coffee/cocoa and tea plus vending machines 24 hours/day!
