Renovation of the hotel is meanwhile completed. We had an oceanview room on the fourth floor. The hotel is clean and the interior decoration is nice with some minor details not perfect, but from a BW Plus hotel I would have at least expected to have a fridge in the room at the prize you pay. Well, this one did... More

We were in La Jolla for a family event and spent just one night there. I had requested a room with a view on an upper floor and we were accommodated with a room on the fourth floor (out of five) with a partial ocean view. The room was clean and comfortable and included all the amenities that we needed.... More

We had a partial ocean view room (ocean two blocks away) - the breeze was lovely and necessary since the air conditioning is not working in April. Clean room, recently refreshed and comfortable beds. We only stayed one night, but it was pleasant. Fresh apples in the lobby were a nice touch and a good snack. The breakfast was basic,... More

Two blocks from the ocean. I was there for business, but I had a blast. Breakfast was amazing and had a wide variety. Parking was a little pricy, but I will definitely stay there again. Fresh fruit every morning and very Rare: Hot Chocolate, I had it every night. Had a problem with my bill and they fixed it right... More

Block of rooms were reserved for a family wedding. This would not have been the place I selected, however, it turned out to be clean, reasonably priced and a nice stay. THe hotel was located close to the wedding and reception, it was very near the shopping district of town and near the beach. All in all, a nice stay.

We stayed here for 2 nights in March 2013. Our room was clean, comfortable and quiet. We didn't have breakfast as the room was tiny and very busy. Not really big enough for the size of the hotel. Wasn't the cheapest place but La Jolla is expensive. We enjoyed our stay and slept well. Before arriving we were advised that... More

This hotel is in a fabulous location, walking distance to restaurants, bars, shopping as well as the children's pool with hundreds of seals. The service was great, room cleaned promptly. Although there was construction while we were there we were notified, and barely affected. They are updating the property, probably so they can charge double or triple what they are... More

This property has an ideal location in La Jolla but is absurdly overpriced. The hotel desperately needs a renovation and strikes me more as a Motel 6 or Super 8 quality level. The rooms either face the street or an alleyway behind a couple of restaurants. I have stayed at the property twice and had an 'ocean view' room. 'Ocean... More
