The best hotel!
What a fabulous hotel! Right in the middle of everything! You walk out the front door and you go down the hill to the ocean or to the right or left there are all the coffee houses, restaurants and boutiques. So beautiful and clean and comfy and I will be back!

Amazing hotel stay
we had an amazing stay at your hotel, we loved the smallness feel and the ease of getting around. The staff were super friendly! We have never stayed at a hotel that offered free snacks and water! That was an added bonus. The pool was clean and we loved hanging out there. We also got an amazing sunset right from our 4th floor. We will be coming back!

The hotel was in such a great location in La Jolla and valet parking was free! You can just step out your door and walk to amazing shops, restaurants, and see beautiful views of the ocean and all the seals and sea lions. The hotel itself was very nice too! This is the place to stay if you are visiting La Jolla!!!
