We had an amazing stay at this charming, small hotel in La Jolla. The location is unbeatable—right across from the ocean with beautiful views, and just minutes from the Cove and everything San Diego has to offer. The property feels cozy and homely, almost like a studio apartment, and the room was spotless. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the after-hours check-in was seamless. We loved everything about this place and will definitely be coming back.
