Every time we visit our daughter in San Diego, this is our place to stay. This place is close to everything, within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, etc. It’s clean; the staff is friendly and helpful. As I said, this is our place to stay in La Jolla. Thanks

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.
