Property is a great location. Nice walking distance to the beach. The breakfast was pretty good. Just sometimes it gets a bit noisy staying on the 1st floor late at night. Overall great stay!! Would come back.

Dear Amanda,Thank you for the perfect rating and great feedback. It was our pleasure to host you in beautiful La Jolla. We cannot wait to welcome you back.Best wishes!
The property was really close to the beach and within easy driving to UCSD so that was a plus. Hotel was decent and reasonably clean, but seemed a bit run down. The bathroom was pretty tight and difficult to maneuver with two people trying to get up and out in the morning. Really musty and the bathroom fan didn't help much. The complimentary breakfast was just OK - pancake machine not operational and the only egg option had cheese. We ended up checking out early.

Dear Leigh,Thank you for choosing to stay with us and thank you for your feedback. We appreciate it. Best wishes!
Everything was ok, but this is really a budget motel. Lots of noise from cars, rolling carts, doors, loud A/C unit. If you're ok with that, then this is a nice location in a good area.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Our stay was good, the bathroom & jacuzzi were very clean, not so much the living area & the small kitchen area.
Staff were very friendly.

Dear Rene,Thank you for the perfect score. It was our pleasure to host you and we look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes!
Our experience was excellent. We arrived about two hours before check in and they allowed us to do an early check in and upgraded us for free to a studio instead of a standard queen. The room had everything we needed and the breakfast was also excellent. It was conveniently located near lots of restaurants in La Jolla and walking distance to the ocean. All of the other major sights were all within about a 20 minute drive. The pool and hot tub area were also very nice but unfortunately the weather was not warm enough to take advantage of them. If you want to stay in a reasonably priced place in La Jolla, I would recommend this Holiday Express.

This property is a hidden gem. Close to downtown La Jolla and the beach. Walking distance to the tide pools. The rooms are spacious and clean, pool is great. Came with family as a pit stop on our way into San Diego and we will definitely be back. What a great little place.

This hotel was wonderful. It has plenty of shampoo, conditioner, and lotion for however many Beach trips you want to take. The staff is friendly and quick to respond. The pool area is clean and heated. The pool heater wasn't working one night and they had maintenance fix it within 10 minutes.
