This is not your generic Embassy Suites or Hilton Garden; it's a pleasantly decorated, older property with character and I am in favor of more of these kinds of establishments surviving. We stayed here two nights at the end of a California vacation and were extremely grateful when we were allowed to check in VERY early - i think it wasn't even noon yet. We used the valet parking, which was quite pricey, but parking is kind of tense in La Jolla. Whenever we needed the car it was brought very quickly. The clerks did advise us where our son could park his car for free on the weekend. We walked to everything from the hotel - the beaches, the many stores, the restaurants, even CVS for an emergency prescription (and the people in that CVS pharmacy are the nicest people on Earth). The free breakfast is a small buffet, not a full hot meal, but you can eat outside on the charming sun deck and enjoy the California weather. No pool, but we didn't care as we walked to the beach and enjoyed a concert in the adjacent park. Loved the bathroom in the room; it was not old fashioned at all but very clean and updated and smart. The one downside, I guess, is the slow and small elevator, but again this is an older property. I'd certainly return.More
