We were very pleased with our stay. This is a cute, simple little hotel that is in a great location in La Jolla (highly recommend Don Bravo down the street for fish tacos). The room was clean and very fairly priced. The front desk staff were consistently friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

Really amazing place for the type of facility (3 stars hotel). It looks new, room had everything and looked modern; it was very clean; facility has a great pool; and importantly, this hotel is located in a very nice part of town. The price was steep however, for the hotel class, but maybe everything is around there.

This hotel was very clean and modern. The pool was warm and amazing to swim in at night. The room had a balcony and everything you could need for a short stay. The location is also great, as we were able to walk to and from the beach, to CVS, and to food. The staff was extremely friendly, especially the man who helped fix our TV and provide utensils to us at night. However, the staff member at the desk right around check out time was taking a very long bathroom break which was just inconvenient timing as we could not be helped and had to wait over ten minutes. Overall, a great location and great stay!

Great location and clean room! Bare bones in that the lighting was just overhead so really bright and no coffee pot in the room. Pool was wonderful with 8 foot deep end which is unusual these days. We were able to get a 1pm check out for a reasonable fee. Overall great stay.
