EXCELLENT Stay
We definitely plan to return to this location. The room was clean and very comfortable. The service was great. Coffee, though not in each individual room, is available in the hotel lobby with an assortment of creamers. There is a microwave available, outside the room, in a shared common area. This location has easy walking access to the shore, shops, coffee, bakery, all within 2 to 3 blocks. The view to the West was great. We look forward to staying here again.

clean and comfortable
I was happy with the room, it was clean, the beds were soft and comfortable. The room did not have a coffee machine, I went to the office to get some coffee, but they did not open until 8 am. If early morning coffee is a must have you will need to drive or walk to a coffee shop. i would stay here again despite the coffee issue.

I couldn’t have asked for a better location to stay at in La Jolla. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. Be sure to check out Don Barvo’s for their amazing street tacos, as they are a 5 minute walk away.

Patricia

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room itself was adequate, but there was a noticeable disinfectant type smell that permeated every time I entered the room. There was a smart mirror in the entry with a blue light which never went off (would advise a sleep mask). Found a cockroach on the floor my upon awakening the first morning. The real kicker was the motel charged my credit card for $8 after my departure. When I called the front desk clerk didn't know what it was for, and then said it was for a "damaged" towel. I had not damaged a towel. I informed her that I expected the charge to be removed or I would have my credit card remove the charge. She stated the manager would call me. I never received a call. My credit card corrected the charge. Seemed like a money grab technique and poor customer service.

Great location, convenient to shops and restaurants, either within walking distance or a short drive away. Our top (3rd) floor room was perfect, with a lovely balcony for breakfast or just to sit in the evenings. We were there 2 nights, 3 days (Mon-Wed); don't know what weekends might be like. Staff were friendly and responsive. Fridge in room, but coffee/tea available only in hotel office, which doesn't open until 8 a.m. A microwave on a cart sits outside, 1 on each floor. Only 1 nightstand in room with king bed. Desk had automatic height adjuster, but sink was on the high side and the hangers in the closet were hard to reach for person 5 ft 4 in. Really nice shower. Definitely will visit again.
