The room was clean, nice and spacious. There was plenty of parking at the facility, which made it easier although they do charge $28/day for parking. A lot of things close enough for a short drive or a medium walk.

Great!

Overall Great. The only issue was parking, we returned pretty late after the theme park and we had to park off property in the “over flow” parking by a business. We were given a refund for that night of parking. So all in all a great place to stay.

Well-sized rooms

had a fantastic stay in La Jolla — the location was ideal, close to beaches, shops, and top restaurants. The rooms were spacious and had plenty of room to spread out. A free breakfast buffet was a thoughtful bonus that started each day on a bright note, and the quality exceeded expectations — not your typical continental fare

We had a wonderful stay and loved the loft room!! The heated pool was also very nice and they had plenty of towels for us. The service was good and the breakfast was good. I was surprised there were no muffins. Our room had a few tiny faults but nothing that made our stay any less fun! We will definitely visit again someday. Wonderful memories and was sad to leave. Thank you.

The property is in need of an update. The amount of space and having an upstairs is nice but the hotel feels old and a little musty. The breakfast was very nice and a great free perk. We stayed with little kids and there was a nail sticking out on the stairwell. The pool was also not very clean.

The price of the hotel was expensive but the fully equipped kitchen and utensils and an oven made this stay a cost effective choice. We used the patio in the back of the breakfast area and the staff turned on the outdoor heaters and gas fireplace for our soiree. The pull out couches need replaced as they are worn and the springs are evident. Overall the staff was very friendly and helpful. Location to a grocery, shopping and freeways was exceptional!
