What a lovely surprise, The rooms are great and the location is perfect!
Pros:

The location was great! The rooms was tidy and well appointed and a very good value. Thank you!

Cons:

There was no breakfast, and I wished the coffee was available a little earlier, since there was no way to make coffee in the room. I was up at 5:30 because the people upstairs sounded like they were giving an exercise class above me. they were walking back and forth and back and forth. I thought your hotel was clean and great, but thought I should share my experience.

Pros:

Very good stay overall! The staff were kind, the room was super clean, and the location is great—just steps from viewpoints and walkable to the Windansea Beach.

The room insulation could be improved, but the area itself is calm and quiet. There’s no breakfast area or in-room microwave, though a shared microwave and ice machine are available. The pool is clean and nice, and there’s a supermarket and a CVS nearby.

I would recommend this hotel!

Excellent, central location. Close to the beach and other fun things to do in the La Jolla area.
Pros:

Excellent location, nicely updated, and very comfortable

Cons:

There was nothing I disliked. The room was quite sizable. The only recommendation I would make to the hotel is maybe add a chair or two in the room. Otherwise it was fantastic.
