Best hotel in town at a great price.
We always love staying here when we visit La Jolla. It's centrally located downtown close to shops and restaurants. The rooms are always clean and comfortable with plenty of space. The rooms have a refrigerator , but no microwave. The people that work here are the best! Always so friendly and helpful! We will always stay here!

Highly recommended!
It was January and I loved swimming in the heated pool— such a treat! Near the ocean and fun and swanky shops nearby. Great restaurants nearby. This was a wonderful experience— especially for someone coming all the way from Alaska. Loved the roomy room we had with a tabletop work at with two chairs for a coffee tete-a-tete with my husband. Lovely balcony too!

Very Decent Hotel Close to the Cliff and Beach
We have stayed at this hotel half a dozen times over the years. It is good and is close to the La Jolla Cove. It used to be a Best Western when they provided breakfast, which they don't any more. The $20/day parking fee is kind of high.
