My room was spacious and comfortable, the staff were welcoming and accommodating, and the location was excellent, being a couple of blocks from the amazing La Jolla Shores beach! It was the perfect choice for my mini vacation to visit my son.
My family had a good time during our stay here. Staff were kind and helpful. Love the beach supplies they had for customers to borrow for the beach, which was only about a 10 minute walk.
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.
Fun, retro-ish, apartment -- much more than a room -- in a fantastic location with easy access to La Jolla and drives up the coast! The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!
The property was roomy and clean. The beach is just three blocks away. Restaurants and coffee shops are two blocks away. I would recommend this property.
Fun Spot to stay! A short walk to the beach. Restaurants & beach shops close by. really like a small apartment, includes a small pool. We love this place!
