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!

Hotel is old and in need of a major renovation. No A\C, so wasn’t comfortable during an unexpected heat wave in March. Limited parking. Staff at check in were very accommodating. Location is excellent, close to beach and shops/restaurants.

Loved staying here! Really enjoyed the spacious room with a living and kitchen area as well as the salt water pool. Very short walk to the La Jolla beach and nearby shops and dining. The bed wasn’t super comfortable but was okay for a short stay.

Fabulous location. Quiet area. Rooms are very basic but spacious. Lots of lamps but few outlets. Kitchen has everything you need. We stayed in January and the rooms were freezing at night. Mattress and pillows weren’t super comfortable. Rooms aren’t cleaned during your stay, but you can self-service towels and some toiletries.
