Stayed here 4 nights, and it was such a cute spot! So close to the beach, and neutral to all the spots like La Jolla cove, Pacific beach, mission beach! Would stay again!

The room was very clean and comfortable. They were very accomodating. Our flight was delayed by more than 2 hours and they waited for us.
The property is also witin walking distance from the beach, bus stop and cute restuarants.
Great updated rooms with comfy beds and effective air conditioners. Small but useful parking lot. Pool area needs upgrades and extra cleanliness attention but there is a pool and jacuzzi on site. Beautiful neigborhood walk to the beach. Loved the bike rentals.
Best bang for buck I could have asked for.
Very quick walk to the beach, easy check-in, comfy beds. Parking gets rough at night, but parking across the street is still doable.
Great boutique hotel! Clean, convenient, and great location. I recommend!

The front desk was polite and helpful. I reserved a single for my brother-in-law. The room was around $290. His AC didn't work. He slept in stuffy room and I think if you pay that much, you should have a functioning AC in August. Felt cheated.
I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was spacious and super clean and each staff member we interacted with was so wonderful. I look forward to staying here again :)
For those of you on a budget or want a decent value, this is not the place. This is lipstick on a rat, right on a busy road …honestly resembles a made over Motel 6 , in fact might have been. Jam packed parking, rooms right in parking lot on the first floor. Gentleman, if you want to impress you partner keep looking, there are many places for the same price point that kicks this place’s ass…honesty even Motel 6…well okay… sames,
Love this location and hotel. Provides all the right options. Easy and convenient. 2nd time staying here and will continue for future trips. Definitely recommend.
