We really enjoyed staying here, the hotel staff were always friendly and helpful. We requested no tub and shower instead because of handicap and they inmediately made it possible. The hotel itself is within walking distance to many things.

Highly recommended!

It was January and I loved swimming in the heated pool— such a treat! Near the ocean and fun and swanky shops nearby. Great restaurants nearby. This was a wonderful experience— especially for someone coming all the way from Alaska. Loved the roomy room we had with a tabletop work at with two chairs for a coffee tete-a-tete with my husband. Lovely balcony too!

Very Decent Hotel Close to the Cliff and Beach

We have stayed at this hotel half a dozen times over the years. It is good and is close to the La Jolla Cove. It used to be a Best Western when they provided breakfast, which they don't any more. The $20/day parking fee is kind of high.
