Great place to stay a few days

Great location to spend time at the beach (5 min walk), visit nearby colleges, and eat at a variety of restaurants in La Jolla. Friendly and helpful staff, especially Lindsay. Towels are clean but not as white as other Hotels; so if bleached white towels are important to you then this is not the place for you. Standard complimentary hot breakfast. Husband was disappointed that they did not have hot Oatmeal, just instant Oatmeal. Overall we were happy at this hotel.

Overall great location. Solid included breakfast with ample options. Heated pool and grounds are great. The entrance driveway is difficult to find since the are no signs. Parking is tight but free and there is street parking if no spaces are available in the lot. Guests seem to have difficulty keeping cars parked in just one spot and often multiple spots are taken by one vehicle. Staff is overall friendly and helpful. Rooms are partially updated but a good size, some with ocean views. They are a very dog friendly and neighborhood is very walkable.
