The room and bathroom were nice and clean. The bed comfortable with good linens. There's no coffee pot or microwave in the room but they have coffee in the lobby and a micro by the pool if needed. I would use this hotel again

Good little spot in La Jolla

Very cute place that is close to a lot of fun including a 10 minute walk to the north part of Pacific Beach. Lovely service, quiet, comfy bed with a great A/C system. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend.

Great Hotel

We stayed for 4th of july weekend. The room was everything we needed and we loved it! check in/out was super smooth and the staff was very nice. The location was perfect, super quiet and nice. A bunch of restaurants in a 5 minute walk radius. Cvs being right next door was also super convenient. Didn’t have any problems with noise, even being right by the pool. One thing i wished they did was give a parking pass, just to be able to secure a parking spot everyday. But when they ran out of parking, the staff was helpful and accommodating on other places to park
