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).
