We had an amazing stay at this charming, small hotel in La Jolla. The location is unbeatable—right across from the ocean with beautiful views, and just minutes from the Cove and everything San Diego has to offer. The property feels cozy and homely, almost like a studio apartment, and the room was spotless. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the after-hours check-in was seamless. We loved everything about this place and will definitely be coming back.

Staff was great and tried their best and location was great but cleaning was terrible pink & black mold in bathrooms on tub tiles and floors. Missing grout. Rusty hinges on doors and windows. Dirt in windows. Screen broken. Furniture in reasonable condition. Bed was hard as a rock! Hot water was out for a whole day and AC was broken the whole 3 night stay! Maintenance guy couldn’t fix it. AC guy couldn’t come for over a week! Sadly a bad experience

Hotel is in a great location. Parking was easy. Rooms are spacious and clean. Two things that stood out were the lack of outlets. Not one by the bed which was kind of inconvenient. And the mattress was really uncomfortable. The bedding also didn’t fit the bed so it shifted all night, exposing the mattress which isn’t ideal.
