This beautiful gem of a hotel is in the heart of La Jolla Cove and a few blocks from the beach. I stayed in a gorgeous corner ocean view room and the ocean is also visible from the main lobby. Walkable to all the shops and restaurants with a very friendly staff- the valets were super helpful and had my car ready when I came out each morning to get to my conference. Wished I wasn’t on a work trip so I could’ve enjoyed even more but a wonderful treat to come back to each night.
