Well-sized rooms

had a fantastic stay in La Jolla — the location was ideal, close to beaches, shops, and top restaurants. The rooms were spacious and had plenty of room to spread out. A free breakfast buffet was a thoughtful bonus that started each day on a bright note, and the quality exceeded expectations — not your typical continental fare

We had a wonderful stay and loved the loft room!! The heated pool was also very nice and they had plenty of towels for us. The service was good and the breakfast was good. I was surprised there were no muffins. Our room had a few tiny faults but nothing that made our stay any less fun! We will definitely visit again someday. Wonderful memories and was sad to leave. Thank you.

The property is in need of an update. The amount of space and having an upstairs is nice but the hotel feels old and a little musty. The breakfast was very nice and a great free perk. We stayed with little kids and there was a nail sticking out on the stairwell. The pool was also not very clean.

The price of the hotel was expensive but the fully equipped kitchen and utensils and an oven made this stay a cost effective choice. We used the patio in the back of the breakfast area and the staff turned on the outdoor heaters and gas fireplace for our soiree. The pull out couches need replaced as they are worn and the springs are evident. Overall the staff was very friendly and helpful. Location to a grocery, shopping and freeways was exceptional!

We loved having so much space for our family having a loft room! Sad they didn't tell us house keeping was only every other day and since we were at the hotel most of the day they were supposed to come they just didn't clean almost our entire stay. It was kinda frustrating they didn't even try to come the 3rd day when we were actually gone that whole day. We had a pile of trash and towels that was getting ridiculous. We did love being so near the beach though and loved the breakfast except the last day when they got rid of the waffle station. Unlimited hot chocolate was a hit with my kids though! Parking really stinks that they charge an extra $35 per night, but I hear parking is just expensive in California. The reception was so kind to offer us a room near the street parking and we were able to get free parking most nights! Overall we really did love it here and would stay again!
