Amazing location on the pacific. Charming set up. Our room had a patio with an ocean view and a gas-lit small chimney fireplace. Cool bar with small bites. Staff was very friendly. Each room had a turntable and you can borrow vinyl from the bar. Great snack and drink options in the minibar. The place was very clean with a cool Spanish style decor. The bed was very comfortable. My only small feedback is the scone and muffins we had a breakfast were a bit overtoasted and hard, but the cappuccino was great!

Strategic location with amazing ocean view

We love this hotel. First of, the location is very strategic, it’s walking distance to La Jolla Cove, downtown La Jolla, and La Jolla Sunday Farmer’s Market. We booked the ocean view room with balcony, the view was amazing! We will come back to this hotel!
