Staff was fantastic, room was large and well equipped, beds were very comfortable, quiet for a peaceful nights sleep, was able to check in early as well. Loved room 205 with Murphy bed in family room, full kitchen, and lovely bathroom and canopy style bed! Would definitely stay there again.

    “From the moment we arrived we felt like this was exactly where we needed to be. Customer service was above and beyond, sharing all that was available to us - including free waters and soda in the lobby, 24/7! Our room...uh hmmm...3 bedroom house was more than we even expected. It had every amenity and fit our family of 6 perfectly! And the location - we could walk to the beach, or walk to the local stores. Everything was perfect!”

  • Amazing location and relaxing atmosphere with kind staff and places to sit and look at the ocean

    “There’s a perfect balance here of nature, peace, and that charming small-town La Jolla feel. The property has plenty of quiet little spots to slow down, unwind, and practice your yoga or meditation techniques or simply go for really nice walks! And you’re only minutes away from the La Jolla shoreline, where you can practically have the seals at your feet! The new furniture is also a great addition. It has an old-world charm that fits beautifully with the property’s Balinese-inspired décor and gives the hotel a unique sense of character and place. My favorite part was sitting on their rooftop and catching the sunset!! Stunning! See pics! Most importantly, the staff is genuinely friendly and welcoming. Ask for Edwin, the GM, if you want some great local tips—he and Norma are the best!”
