The room was decent, room 407. The room definitely needed some attention to detail. The ceiling in the bathroom had water damage around the fan. The fan vents were covered with lint which hadn't been cleaned for quite a while. More attention needs to be paid to the windows. It would have been nice to be able to open the window to get the ocean breeze however, the cleanliness has been neglected inside and out. The windows were dirty along with windowsills which had cobwebs inside and out. It would be nice to have a solid bathroom door instead of one that had a louvers from top to bottom. Not a lot of privacy since the bathroom was right next to the bed. Spacious room otherwise.

Quiet room and excellent staff service--attentive and kind. Was hesitant about valet parking convenience, but the staff was great about speed and efficiency, so there were no problems. Full breakfast with lots of variety was great.

Very friendly staff. Clean Hotel as well. You will see staff constantly cleaning through the day! Manger checked me in Sunday afternoon 11/17/24 and he was very helpful and allowed us to check in our room early. Would 100% stay here again. Also hot Breakfast is included and valet parking! Great price for the hotel room with many perks.

Central location in La Jolla town, near bus station of line 30 which goes to old town. Near cove, a lot of restaurants, shops and bars. Clean room, comfortable bed, WIFI works fine, good breakfast. If shower water could be more stronger would be better.

Larry the Manager was great however the Expedia agents apparently did not call the property when I asked four times. Upon my visit to the hotel I decided to get another property as it is really a 2 star. Expedia would not refund the property after several attempts with multiple agents. I can go on and on but will not.

We were going out to dinner and needed to iron some clothes, but our iron didn’t work. I called the front desk and was told someone would bring one to us right away. It never came. We had to leave for our reservation and told the front desk. They said they would have one waiting for us when we came back. It wasn’t ready. They told us they’d bring one up to our room, which they did…5 hours after I requested it. Even then, the “new” iron didn’t work. Not happy.

Horrible. I was initially given a first floor room next to the elevator. The rug was terribly stained and wet as if they had just tried to clean it. Unless I upgraded, they would only give me another first floor room. I left!! The whole experience was more like something I'd expect at Motel 6, or another dive motel.

Our room smelt like mildew/mold from the air conditioner that was condensing into the ceiling tile. I do like that they allow dogs but I don’t think I would stay here again. Good location.

It was a lovely stay! i’m giving 5 stars because I somehow was chosen as their guest of the day?? basically someone is chosen at random to get an upgraded room. So for my anniversary, my boyfriend and I got upgraded from their cheapest room to their nicest suite! it was super cool to get a hot tub since there is no pool. the breakfast was pretty good with a variety of choices. it’s on the second floor patio if you are looking for it like we were. I didn’t use their vallet because I found street parking around the corner on Eads Ave. the hotel was empty and parking was easy to find since it was a tuesday lol. it was a quiet night, but note that trash day is wednesday so if you plan on sleeping in on a wednesday morning in any hotel in this area, you may be awoken by the trash trucks. The atmosphere was nice and it was a solid choice for my boyfriend and I to celebrate our anniversary together!
