The hotel was decent for the price, offering spacious rooms with enough space for two people. The location was convenient, within walking distance to various bars and restaurants. However, the dining options were somewhat limited, and the room fixtures could use an update.

I loved my stay at the hotel! The spotless rooms facing the ocean provided amazing views every morning and evening. While the rooms are a bit tired-looking, the great price more than makes up for it. The service was welcoming, but a promised early receipt delivery didn't happen. The location couldn't be better, offering free coffee all day and easy access to restaurants and shops. However, the dining options were limited, only offering vending machine food.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were exactly as advertised, with a comfortable bed but lacked microwaves and screen doors to the balcony. The service was exceptional, except for an unfortunate incident of a stolen credit card. The location was convenient, with easy access to great restaurants and the ocean. However, the dining options left something to be desired with limited choices. Overall, it was a no-frills hotel in a great location.

My stay at the hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms were amazing - so neat, clean, and spacious, plus having a balcony was a nice touch for relaxing while the little ones were asleep. However, there was a slight old and wet smell in the room. The service was top-notch, with a special shoutout to Cassandra for going above and beyond. The location was perfect, just a short walk from both the beach and shopping areas, making it really convenient. The dining wasn't the best, but with plenty of nearby options, it wasn't a big issue. Overall, a wonderful stay with a few minor hiccups.

The hotel is in a superb location right in the city center with easy access to restaurants, entertainment, and shopping while being within walking distance to the beach front. The rooms, while offering nothing special, do face the sea, although there was a musty smell and the toilets were outdated. The service was a mix of forgetfulness and extreme friendliness. The location is top-notch, very convenient to various amenities. Overall, a mixed but convenient stay.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were very nice and spacious, offering equal comfort and cleanliness. The service was lovely overall, welcoming us upon arrival and ensuring overnight parking safety. The location was ideal for exploring La Jolla and San Diego, with easy access to restaurants, shops, and the beach. The dining experience, although lacking a view, was adequate with various choices available. The facilities were well-maintained, making my stay enjoyable.
