I stayed here last year in October with girlfriends. This past weekend I stayed here with my dtr & granddaughter. Their first time in LaJolla. We had a blast! The accommodations were amazing. Love the location. It was a busy area in August, but quiet in the room.

Don’t judge a book by cover. At first, I was little concerned because the pictures don’t quite match what I expected. But the rooms are large, clean comfortable. The staff are friendly and amazing and accommodating. Well worth the money. It’s a great place to stay.
