The property is nearly 100 yrs old. So”as new” isn’t expected. But the room was very tired, and dinged up, AC worked poorly and there was a definite mildew smell. The above ground floors 7+ are better. We had stayed here about 10 years ago. The location is very convenient to La Jolla; the staff was helpful with occasional shuttle transportation and the Concierge was wonderful to work with. The restaurants are convenient but the quality is inferior to the costs.

This is a beautiful hotel in an incredible location. The age of the hotel shows in its room sizes and various fixtures. But that is part of the charm. The coffee maker in the room - single cup Keurig machine - should be replaced. It was flaky and making morning coffee was a frustrating experience.

We paid $800/night for this dump. The hotel had a wedding right below our window that went until midnight and the noise from the cleanup went until 4am. (There were noise machines provided in the rooms, so it is obviously not a new complaint. The mattress and bedding were cheap and uncomfortable. We got almost no sleep at all. The stay was so bad, we left halfway through the weekend to just go home. Sent them an email to describe my complaints, and they never responded. I've never written a bad review about anything online.

The only great thing is the location. It’s not a hotel that it used to be. Very loud at night, parties wouldn’t stop till almost midnight. Amenities are old and outdated. Location was great though for our purposes

Gorgeous, old world charm. Closest you can get to European feeling in the US. Note the building is old so noticed a musty smell in the room and the elevator is old and tiny. Beds were comfortable, and pool area is heavenly. Staff and service were 5-star. Dining was overpriced but the views were lovely. Would absolutely stay again.
