"I can't say enough good things about this hotel! I booked last minute and wasn't really sure what to expect. The staff were really the stars of the trip - probably the most helpful, friendly and accommodating staff I've ever had (and I travel a lot for work). The room was older but charming/not rundown and had a renovated bathroom. Felt more like an airbnb room than a hotel. The location was fantastic, right next to the ocean with a rooftop view. I loved being so close to the ocean side park and sea lions. Parking was tight but available and reasonably priced. Restaurants and shops were all within walking distance, just up a big flight of stairs. Although they have a free golf cart service, so if the stairs are an issue, no problem, take the golf cart! It was really easy to stop in throughout the day to use the restroom or grab a complimentary water. There is also an outdoor sitting area with an ocean view and bar that was a nice reprieve from all the sightseeing. The free refreshments and daily homemade cookies were really the cherry on top of a great stay! This stay felt like White Lotus in the best way."

Spanish Casita in the Village of La Jolla - Walk to Everything

10/10 Excellent
"The location is perfect for walking to town. We had a family with two children, and they loved being about to explore the city and surrounding areas! The lodging was advertised, and the outside space was lovely to have a drink and enjoy the day. We used the plates and glasses in the kitchen, but did not use the hot plate. I would recommend grilling if wanting to cook at the Casita. With the cross breeze, the room would eventually cool, but the kids still complained a little about the lack of AC. Overall I would recommend this place to people that want to enjoy the outside space, and don't mind a short walk downtown. Eric and Yvonne we're very nice hosts and great at communicating!"
