Old School Charm

The staff was amazing, especially Kassandra at the front desk. Her friendly demeanor and customer service was outstanding. The rooms are well appointed and clean, with many having ocean views. The ocean and La Jolla Village, with its shops and restaurants, are within easy walking distance. The hotel has the feel of a family owned, boutique hotel.

I did not have breakfast or drinks. The property is old and looks every day of it. My room faced th e ocean and had a lot of light. But when people were congregating in the outdoor area of the hotel at night it was noisy. I found the staff to be less than helpful in accommodating requests.

Details: We stayed at this establishment coming in early October. We also rented a car for vacation as well. The room was a single room 1 king bed. Our view was mainly of prospect street and not the view of the ocean. This was not an issue for us. Valet is included in the stay and is covered by a $150 (subject to change) hospitality fee. Tipping is optional and they have a QR code to tip if no cash available. Location: The hotel is located in the heart of La Jolla Cove, 2 blocks away from the ocean and the cove where the Sea lions attraction is, as well as the ellen browining scripps park. Service: Front desk was welcoming and very accommodating to our needs. They gave us all the upfront information about our stay, information about the charge on my card which is credit in the event we use any amenities they provide for us (bike rentals, food service, etc.), as well as providing a safeguard on our belongings as we were an hour and a half early prior to check in. Valet is very prompt, polite, and careful with our rental car. They have an offsite garage where they store cars if not in long term use, and have limited side parking on site if you notify them about plan to use car soon. Room: Room was on the smaller side but was clean when we stayed. Bathroom was clean, sheets were free of bugs and stains, room well kept despite age. Only real issue was the carpet could use a deep clean. found myself with dirty feet if barefoot for a period of time. Great hospitality
