Pros:

The hotel is very nice and the location is fantastic. However, be careful and make sure you receive the room category you actually booked and paid for. During our stay, there was confusion regarding our room assignment, and we ended up having to move rooms, which was inconvenient and disrupted our trip.
While the staff were polite, the situation could have been handled better and with clearer communication. Overall, the hotel itself is enjoyable, but I would recommend double-checking your reservation details at check-in to avoid any issues.

Cons:

I was very disappointed with this booking experience. The hotel had overbooked the rooms, and as a result, we were forced to change rooms during our stay. Booking.com said it was the hotel’s fault, while the hotel manager claimed it was Booking.com’s mistake. Neither party took responsibility.
We had to stay in two different rooms over two days, which meant packing and unpacking our belongings every day. This was extremely inconvenient and disrupted our stay.
I find the handling of this situation by both Booking.com and the hotel highly unprofessional. Based on this experience, I am no longer sure I can trust Booking.com for future reservations.

A great place to stay in La Jolla! Highly recommend.
Pros:

Charming boutique hotel steps away from the ocean. This hotel was the definition of excellent customer service. Lots of little "extras" that it is hard to find these days. They have complimentary golf cart service to local restaurants and the grocery store and a beautiful rooftop deck to watch the sun sets. Very good breakfast. Highly recommend!

Cons:

Everything during our stay was excellent.

Nice view
Pros:

Proximity to the shoreline; outdoor dining area

Cons:

The suite they gave us (room 121 across the street) was very dingy, old fashioned, and ugly. Although it functioned, it looked and felt like it had not been refurbished for several years. They a

Would definitely stay again
Pros:

The theme of the hotel is very enjoyable. There were features in our suite that you would only expect in much more costly accommodations.
The service was above and beyond our expectations.

Cons:

That we only scheduled one night there. The lack of a pool.

Great location. Just ok accommodations for the price. Zero acknowledgment of our anniversary.
Pros:

Wonderful location, right on the beach. Accommodations were dated, but clean. Breakfast was 6/10….somewhat repetitive. Daily cookies were a nice plus.

Cons:

Property was dated. Really enjoyed the boutique nature of the facilities but for the price could have been much nicer. We were celebrating our 30th anniversary and I requested special acknowledgment twice before we arrive and had acknowledgment of our special date nor any extra amenities so was disappointed by that for sure.
