Best deal in downtown LJ

Absolutely the best deal in the Village ( Downtown La Jolla is called the village) comfortable beds, close to PB/LJ. Traffic going in and out of La Jolla is perfect. Internet is great. Dining options perfect surrounding the hotel. Friendly staff. Parking below as overflow parking. A straight up great place to make your home base in SD.
