What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious Family Room

We had a lovely family room with a separate bedroom and a good-sized balcony. The comfortable, large beds and the modern bathroom made our stay good. I appreciated the fridge in the room for keeping our drinks cool. The only minor point was that with four of us, there were only two chairs for the balcony, but overall it was a fantastic space. I would be very happy to come back!

Convenient Parking

I was really impressed with the ample guest parking available around the building. It was a breeze to find a spot, even with a larger vehicle. The free parking added great value to my stay and made it easy to explore the surrounding areas without any hassle.

The pool was a good feature of the Sands of La Jolla. After a hot day of sightseeing, it was exactly what my family needed to cool off and unwind. It offered a nice, relaxing atmosphere that definitely enhanced our overall experience during our stay.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were very nice and clean when I arrived, but there was a funny smell lingering. On the bright side, the balconies facing the pool provided good circulation, thanks to the sliding glass doors. However, there weren't enough trash bins in the room, which was a bit inconvenient.
