Great free Parking setup which is rare in La Jolla. Walking distance to the ocean as well as coffee shops and restaurants. Room was clean and the pool was nice. Only issue was the AC had a funky smell, probably needed the filters cleaned out.

Clean, easy to walk to a few restaurants and beach. Rooms are very basic. Nice and clean. Could maybe use some wall pictures and definitely at least one full length mirror. Would be nice to have a coffee maker, but not a necessity. Would stay again and would recommend.
