Close to Windansea Beach. Room was clean and comfortable but dark. Breakfast was good and staff were wonderful. Next time will book a room facing courtyard. Parking was included and refrigerator was a small but most adequate. Recommend!

Great place to stay a few days

Great location to spend time at the beach (5 min walk), visit nearby colleges, and eat at a variety of restaurants in La Jolla. Friendly and helpful staff, especially Lindsay. Towels are clean but not as white as other Hotels; so if bleached white towels are important to you then this is not the place for you. Standard complimentary hot breakfast. Husband was disappointed that they did not have hot Oatmeal, just instant Oatmeal. Overall we were happy at this hotel.

Room smelled bad - when I asked if we could switch rooms was told that the only other room was a downgrade - to only one queen size bed. No choice but to stay - room smelled like pinesol, mildew and urine.
