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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was dated, but pretty clean. The shower head sprayed water out over the shower doors and semi flooded the bathroom floor. The toilet paper rool fell apart. It's a one bedroom apartment, The kitchen has basic pots and pans, flatware, a couple plates, bowls, cups, and glasses, along with a dish drainer, dish soap, and a sponge to do the dishes. There were extra pillows and blankets in a closet, as well as a broom, and a couple TV trays. They have a basic HDTV with cable and Starz, it's not a smart tv so you can't stream, but I always travel with my laptop, and my Son has his iPad, and there WiFi was able to handle gaming and both of us streaming. The person at the check in desk was very informative and showed me where to get anything I needed (extra towels, fans, blankets and pillows, more coffee etc.). It's walking distance to the beach, and they have chairs you can take to the beach, provided you bring them back of course. They have a heated saltwater pool, but no jacuzzi. All in all it was a pleasent stay. I would stay there again,
