Great modern room, comfy bed. Only downside was the fire pit wasn't working during our stay. The hot tub was small, but very relaxing. Great location & love that you can get towels, chairs & umbrellas to take to the beach.

A hidden gem. The value for a hotel in the area is unbeatable. The rooms were recently updated as is the rest of the hotel. A block from the beach, can’t be beat! We would definitely stay again if we come back to La Jolla.
