Details: We stayed at this establishment coming in early October. We also rented a car for vacation as well. The room was a single room 1 king bed. Our view was mainly of prospect street and not the view of the ocean. This was not an issue for us. Valet is included in the stay and is covered by a $150 (subject to change) hospitality fee. Tipping is optional and they have a QR code to tip if no cash available. Location: The hotel is located in the heart of La Jolla Cove, 2 blocks away from the ocean and the cove where the Sea lions attraction is, as well as the ellen browining scripps park. Service: Front desk was welcoming and very accommodating to our needs. They gave us all the upfront information about our stay, information about the charge on my card which is credit in the event we use any amenities they provide for us (bike rentals, food service, etc.), as well as providing a safeguard on our belongings as we were an hour and a half early prior to check in. Valet is very prompt, polite, and careful with our rental car. They have an offsite garage where they store cars if not in long term use, and have limited side parking on site if you notify them about plan to use car soon. Room: Room was on the smaller side but was clean when we stayed. Bathroom was clean, sheets were free of bugs and stains, room well kept despite age. Only real issue was the carpet could use a deep clean. found myself with dirty feet if barefoot for a period of time. Great hospitality

Hotel is historical with beautiful moldings. Our 1st night was extremely noisy. We booked a King bedroom with ocean view…if you looked through buildings…not impressed. The room was awkwardly designed and right over pool where they had an event until after 12:30. Around 6:00 am the staff was cleaning up. The noise continued all day. After addressing the front desk they gave us a very nice room this time with an ocean view but took them most of the day before we actually were moved. The valets couldn’t be nicer. I don’t usually complain but not sure I would go back, kind of left me disappointed.

The best hotel!

What a fabulous hotel! Right in the middle of everything! You walk out the front door and you go down the hill to the ocean or to the right or left there are all the coffee houses, restaurants and boutiques. So beautiful and clean and comfy and I will be back!

Amazing hotel stay

we had an amazing stay at your hotel, we loved the smallness feel and the ease of getting around. The staff were super friendly! We have never stayed at a hotel that offered free snacks and water! That was an added bonus. The pool was clean and we loved hanging out there. We also got an amazing sunset right from our 4th floor. We will be coming back!
