Nice spacous room but less than great staff ... not customer oriented, instead seemed bothered in serving especially at check in and at the bar / restaurant. And to top it off, the parking guy damaged our car. These people just dont seem to care.

Really nice view of the ocean from the king suite. The area was very walkable. Lots of cute coffee shops, restaurants and art galleries. Room was comfortable and clean. Only real complaint is the automatic light in the bathroom that would come on in the middle of the night when going to the restroom.

This is a historic hotel right in the heart of La Jolla. You can walk to the beach, shopping and restaurants. If you don't want to walk, they have a little mini shuttle and one of the valets will drive you. The hotel staff are all friendly and accommodating. Our room had an ocean view, was spacious and decorated in a coastal theme. The bed was very comfortable, the closet was spacious and there were a lot amenities including water and snacks. The restaurant was closed the days we were there, but we have dined there before for lunches and it is outstanding. There isn't a gym on premises, but gym access is granted to hotel guests at a facility a short walk away. The gym is well equipped and not crowded. The only downside to our stay was the building construction across the street, so sleeping in was not an option. Once that is over with, this hotel is a little slice of heaven for sure.
