I couldn’t have asked for a better location to stay at in La Jolla. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. Be sure to check out Don Barvo’s for their amazing street tacos, as they are a 5 minute walk away.

Patricia

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room itself was adequate, but there was a noticeable disinfectant type smell that permeated every time I entered the room. There was a smart mirror in the entry with a blue light which never went off (would advise a sleep mask). Found a cockroach on the floor my upon awakening the first morning. The real kicker was the motel charged my credit card for $8 after my departure. When I called the front desk clerk didn't know what it was for, and then said it was for a "damaged" towel. I had not damaged a towel. I informed her that I expected the charge to be removed or I would have my credit card remove the charge. She stated the manager would call me. I never received a call. My credit card corrected the charge. Seemed like a money grab technique and poor customer service.

Great location, convenient to shops and restaurants, either within walking distance or a short drive away. Our top (3rd) floor room was perfect, with a lovely balcony for breakfast or just to sit in the evenings. We were there 2 nights, 3 days (Mon-Wed); don't know what weekends might be like. Staff were friendly and responsive. Fridge in room, but coffee/tea available only in hotel office, which doesn't open until 8 a.m. A microwave on a cart sits outside, 1 on each floor. Only 1 nightstand in room with king bed. Desk had automatic height adjuster, but sink was on the high side and the hangers in the closet were hard to reach for person 5 ft 4 in. Really nice shower. Definitely will visit again.

I liked this place. Newly renovated, clean as a whistle. Spacious. Great location although parking is tight. Floors are a bit thin so you hear the people above you if they wear concrete shoes like the kids above us. Big refrigerator in the room and a great shower. Comfortable bed. Recommended
