It was the most perfect and convenient spot. Beach access was very close by, and there’s so many food options. Staff was super helpful and the room was nice and clean. The only hard part it parking and finding free parking near by, parking pass was about $37 a day.

I loved the location. It was a beautiful view of the beach from our room. The only thing I disliked was the parking situation. I realized it wasn't The Surfer Hotel but we had to pay 44. $ a day for parking. So it felt like a hidden fee,however I'm very happy with everything else. Hearing the ocean from our room was fabulous!

We stayed for a quick trip with 2 kids. I have stayed in a hotel right across the street and knew the area well. And the proximity to the beach was ideal and especially for kids. The staff was very kind especially the staff member who checked us in. She was very accommodating with us arriving almost 5 hours before we could check in. She let us keep our bags up front and had the staff clean our room first so we could get checked in as early as we could. Which was ideal with us being up since 2am. Very thankful for how kind and accommodating she was. I was worried about some reviews about other people being too loud and that was not an issue at all. Also air conditioning worked well. Beds were comfortable. The burger we got off room service was super great. A little expensive but good. Not a very updated room but for the price and the length of stay it worked great for us.

I got the Junior suite and it did not live up to its expectations. I wouldn't stay there for a longer vacation. I stood there with my husband and two toddlers just for one night. Enough room to sleep. Good conditioner/heater. Comfy beds. Just wish it was nicer for the price and it being called a "junior suite." It would be excellent as a normal room. Not a junior suite.

I appreciate it was close to all amenities. That was awesome. However, the room is run down. The pull out bed needs a new mattress and the screen door looked like it was pried open. Not worth the money I paid. The rooms need an overhaul

We love this Hotel, only down fall was paying almost $300 a night on a Monday for an "ocean view" that was really partial ocean view. Staff is always very friendly. Also now there is third party parking so it's an extra $40 a day to park. That's unfortunate. The location can't be beat.

Best spot on the beach
This hotel perfectly fits the entire San Diego vibe. Is it marble floors and champagne? No, but if thats what you're looking for go rent a house in La Jolla. The room was spacious, clean, and the location cannot be beat. The restaurant and patio attached to the hotel was great, and the staff everywhere were extremely friendly. 10 steps from the pool door to the beach, but heated pool if the beach isn't warm enough for you. Next time we are in San Diego, we won't even look at staying anywhere else. Great for families, couples, or a group of friends.

Perfect location!! First time staying here and would stay again (maybe in a higher floor for a better ocean view). Not the quietist…ale house on the parking lot side is open late night and dumps their recycling often. Very friendly staff!! Great water pressure. Clean. Parking is tough…$39 per day for onsite parking 😟 World Famous (restaurant) was yummy and 1 door over.
