Excellent place and very comfortable pool. The hot tub was too hot and needs to be lowered to around 101. Breakfast was excellent and kept clean and stocked. The bathroom towels were terrible. They were like sand paper so they need fabric softener and/or some new fluffy towels

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.
