    clean room
    comfortable bed
    cold refrigerator
    limited coffee availability
    distant lounge

    A lovely experience in La Jolla with prime access to the beach and nearby attractions. The view from the balcony was stunning, and the room was exceptionally clean with a comfortable bed. However, the refrigerator in the room didn't keep things very cold, and the coffee in the lobby was only available in the afternoons. Additionally, the Guest Lounge was a bit distant from the main areas, making access to vending a hassle.

    complimentary wi-fi
    heated pool area
    lack of in-room microwaves

    Had an amazing time with friends at this lovely spot! We enjoyed complimentary Wi-Fi and visited the La Jolla Cove and took surfing classes nearby. The location was perfect and we loved how close we were to so many attractions. The heated pool area was fantastic for relaxing after a day of fun. Highly recommend this place for group getaways!

    One downside was the lack of in-room microwaves, which made heating up leftovers a bit inconvenient.

    Location was fantastic, just a short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. The heated pool area was incredibly inviting, perfect for relaxation after a day out. The staff made everything easy, from check-in to local recommendations. However, the lack of in-room microwaves was a bit inconvenient for warming up leftovers.

    comfy queen beds
    ocean view
    clean linens
    loud air conditioning
    noise control

    The Superior Room was nice with two comfy queen beds and a balcony. Clean and fresh linens made sleeping a breeze. Loved the ocean view—it really added a nice touch. The air conditioning was super loud, though, which was a bit annoying at night. Overall, it was cozy, just needed better noise control.

    cozy room
    limited activities

    Spent our days lounging by the pool with a stunning ocean view while sipping complimentary coffee. We also loved exploring La Jolla Village, where all sorts of fun awaited around every corner. Our room was cozy, making it a perfect family retreat.

    My kids wished there were more activities or organized fun for younger guests to keep them entertained.
