The Sands of La Jolla

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was very clean and modern. The pool was warm and amazing to swim in at night. The room had a balcony and everything you could need for a short stay. The location is also great, as we were able to walk to and from the beach, to CVS, and to food. The staff was extremely friendly, especially the man who helped fix our TV and provide utensils to us at night. However, the staff member at the desk right around check out time was taking a very long bathroom break which was just inconvenient timing as we could not be helped and had to wait over ten minutes. Overall, a great location and great stay!"
