It's a beautiful hotel situated in the heart of everything we wanted to do. From the front desk, to the restaurant, to the valet and maintenance staff, everyone was super friendly and helpful! We had a King room with ocean view which was large, comfortable and had the views to enjoy sunset. We had breakfast in the restaurant and it was excellent - from the prosciutto eggs benny to the salmon bagel it was plenty of food and very flavorful. Easy walk to everything by the waterfront. Would highly recommend and will stay here again the next time we're in La Jolla!

This is an very interesting historical building (although there are several buildings to the same property) with one of the best locations possible. We were welcomed and felt cared for our needs, during our stay. The room was comfortable and we liked to be able to open the windows and let in the fresh air from the ocean. We also had no worries about the parking (which can be challenging in La Jolla).
