Great location in La Jolla!

It was lovely. We enjoyed the location, the view, the staff. Our only complaint would be the sand and dirt on the balcony. But that’s minor. Thank you for a nice stay.

The location is good with lots to do in walking distance. Unfortunately parking the night we arrived was really challenging , no parking on site available and had to drive around for quite a while to locate street parking. It got better after the first night, and hotel staff acknowledged the challenge, which was especially challenging due to some unexpected accessibility needs during our trip. Once parking became available on site it is very tight. In general the hotel and room were clean and met our needs. It is a bit dated and pool area is not big, but I think the value is good price wise for the area.
