For La Jolla, this was pretty good in a very expensive market on the price quality spectrum. A typical motel from the 1960s that’s been renovated. The staff is very nice, and parking is easy.

The room was a quaint 60's or 70's converted apartment. It had a full kitchen with gas stove! There was a lot of room, and separate bedrooms. We were a block away from burgers, icecream, Italian, sushi, Mexican and standard high end American cuisine. I could hand the kids some money and let them wander, because it is such a safe area. We absolutely loved the stay! It was an easy two block walk to boogie boarding, kayaking, and snorkeling. The center of La Jolla proper is a ten minute drive, or a quick Uber. When you leave the village it is a fifteen minute drive inland to the big box stores. (helpful hint: when you exit the hotel and turn left, it is a block and a half to the hidden public access easement to the snorkeling beach!) Great staff, great location, and a relaxing time. Our new favorite place!
