Great place for our family to enjoy the Fourth of July! Booked two very spacious, ocean view rooms for our family. Beautiful location, steps from the ocean and Ellen Browning Scripps Park. We were able to enjoy the beach, walk to shops and restaurants on Girard, and walk to the Cove to view the drone show launched from La Jolla Shores as well as a few other fireworks shows. The included breakfast was delicious and fresh! Loved the rooftop area!
