I liked the ambience and easy check in. It was a nice stay for the event we were there for and was walking distance from the beach. The breakfast was alright , the juice machine wasn’t working and my son likes apple juice. Eggs, sausage , bread and bagels were easy serve and close to the room to eat and relax .

The great things about the hotel, it is right next to all the shopping and very close to La Jolla Beach. Bed is very comfortable and you don’t hear any noise from outside your room. The bad has to do with their bathroom inside the room. The door is not solid so any noise while someone is making in the bathroom the people in the room will hear it very easily. The worst thing is probably the shower, the water is very weak and honestly I felt like I was taking a shower in a 3rd world country that has a limited supply of water. I’m not sure if this Is a California problem or what but I don’t ever remember taking a shower in a hotel in any other state with such low pressure coming out of the shower head. When I did mention and complain to the front desk they did come and change the shower head but honestly I don’t think it made a huge difference. We did not look forward to taking a shower for this specific reason and that’s not a good thing.

I was so excited when I reserve the hotel. But unfortunately, they give us the second floor and they have a live music at night. It was very noisy when we went to sleep until late night.and the smell of the oil from kitchen was in our room all night long other than that the location is perfect. The room was clean and the staff were nice and breakfast was good.
