I notified the avant- team and they did they were going to send someone over, but they did not. Also the garage did not have enough clearance to put our rental SUV into.

"Very cute boutique hotel but historic. If you don’t go in hoping for the Ritz, I think you’ll fall in love with this little gem of an ocean side hotel. The room was large with a separate bedroom, living room and kitchenette and had the most spectacular ocean view. The property was well maintained, clean and walkable to restaurants, coffee shops, bars and great shopping. The lobby offered 24/7 complimentary beverages (sodas, waters and juices) and snacks. There is also a nice wine and beer selection for purchase. The complimentary breakfast (buffet) was well done. Staff was very friendly and helpful. In the building across from the lobby is a rooftop terrace that was perfect for sipping cocktails at sunset. The Pentai Inn is our new favorite spot in Downtown La Jolla. We look forward to going back!"

"My husband and I have used this hotel the past few years because it’s clean, comfortable, and easy to access our favorite spots! We usually stay on the second/third floor. However, the only room available was the 1st floor. Our only complaint is that we can hear every movement upstairs, we were woken up early everyday of the trip because we could hear the doors and footsteps and cleaning crew. Other than that, everything went smoothly! We love the free parking on property."
