Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The rooms were impeccably clean, and the location was perfect, surrounded by great shops and restaurants. However, being right above the restaurant meant our room often smelled of garlic and Italian food, which was fine for me but may not suit everyone.
The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of La Jolla, close to the Bay and shoreline, offering a cozy and convenient stay. The rooms are compact yet cozy, with a clever design featuring a glass walk-in shower that adds a spacious feel. The service is impeccable and goes above and beyond, making for a memorable stay. However, the dining options could be more varied, and the pricing is somewhat on the higher side.
The hotel is ideally located, minutes from the coast and surrounded by great restaurants and shops. My room was spotless, well-stocked with top-quality amenities, and offered a lovely view. The service exceeded my expectations with their helpfulness and courtesy, going the extra mile to provide recommendations for exploring San Diego. However, the dining options were just average, lacking variety in the breakfast selections.
