The staff was fantastic and very accommodating. The location is so central to La Jolla and makes for an excellent base of operations when exploring the greater San Diego area. The staff is also super knowledgeable about the area and willingly makes recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and things to do. Everything seemed well kept.

Front desk check in staff was AWESOME. Very professional. We checked in early not expecting our room to be ready. They provided an excellent room that was ready and we checked in. The food and beverage staff was great and the valet as well. I would highly recommend this property for anyone staying in LaJolla. Your expectations will be exceeded

It's a beautiful hotel situated in the heart of everything we wanted to do. From the front desk, to the restaurant, to the valet and maintenance staff, everyone was super friendly and helpful! We had a King room with ocean view which was large, comfortable and had the views to enjoy sunset. We had breakfast in the restaurant and it was excellent - from the prosciutto eggs benny to the salmon bagel it was plenty of food and very flavorful. Easy walk to everything by the waterfront. Would highly recommend and will stay here again the next time we're in La Jolla!

This is an very interesting historical building (although there are several buildings to the same property) with one of the best locations possible. We were welcomed and felt cared for our needs, during our stay. The room was comfortable and we liked to be able to open the windows and let in the fresh air from the ocean. We also had no worries about the parking (which can be challenging in La Jolla).

This beautiful gem of a hotel is in the heart of La Jolla Cove and a few blocks from the beach. I stayed in a gorgeous corner ocean view room and the ocean is also visible from the main lobby. Walkable to all the shops and restaurants with a very friendly staff- the valets were super helpful and had my car ready when I came out each morning to get to my conference. Wished I wasn’t on a work trip so I could’ve enjoyed even more but a wonderful treat to come back to each night.
