Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in a great area, close to beautiful La Jolla beaches and within walking distance to nice cafes. The rooms are very clean and modern, although they had a lingering smell of smoke. The service was extremely friendly and accommodating, even maintaining communication via text messages before our stay.
The hotel is an excellent choice when staying in La Jolla, offering a great room, nice and clean with very friendly and accommodating staff. The rooms are very modern and clean, with a comfy bed and upscale bathroom setting. The only downside is that the rooms are a bit smaller compared to similar hotels in the area at the same price point.
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.
