A good choice if budget is a factor. This motel-style hotel is in a very good location in La Jolla. We were satisfied. The pictures on booking.com are a bit better than in reality, but the room is quite good and very clean. The bed was perhaps a little too soft, but we still slept well. The hotel is a bit noisy, so loud conversations in the neighboring room are clearly audible. The property, however, appears to be very well maintained. No breakfast, but coffee was always available at the reception.

On-site parking is unfortunately only available for a fee (20$/night).

I visited the LA Jolla Concours d'Elegance automobile show and decided to stay overnight rather than driving home to South Orange County on a Sunday night. I booked this property for a reasonable cost and wound up being quite surprised...and pleased. The location is incredible, close to town and just a few blocks to the beautiful beach with coastline views. In addition, the staff upgraded me to a private suite on top. It's a private area with 4 chaise lounges and large deck. The suite itself is very large with a gigantic bathroom, topped off with nice amenities including a robe. If at all possible, book this suite, Room 301. You will so enjoy the view and the privacy. Another plus is a little café right next door.

Better signage for the property entrance. There's a sign very high above the street but not at street level.

So close to Windansea beach! Great location as well to restaurants, bars etc. we had a car rental so can only say it was a short drive for these places, can't give a walking score. The rooms were very clean and I appreciated the nice soap,shampoo, conditioner, body wash that was offered. The front desk staff were very lovely to deal with! There is a hot tub and heated pool on site but we didn't use them, however they did look clean!

I understand this is a motel style accommodation, however the room didn't have any heat. There is only an AC unit. This would be great on warmer days but the nights got down to 9 degrees Celsius and it was very chilly in our room.

We stayed for 3 nights and they provided us room service everyday, replaced our towels and i love that they have items that we can borrow for free like beach towels and chairs.. groceries are also near the hotel and windansea beach is very beautiful!!! we loved staying there and just watch the sunset, it is as good as la jolla shores but feels more private since theres not a lot of people unlike in la jolla shores ❤️🤍 we will definitely come back when we visit san diego again!

nothing! keep up the good work!

Location was perfect not only to WindnSea Beach but also for restaurants, coffee or a stroll. Yes, it's possible to do that in LaJolla. The rooms were nicely done, the beds so comfortable and the staff so sweet and helpful. They have beach bikes, beach towels, pool, a real outside shower, hose to rinse off the sand, beach chairs and floaties for the kids plus a spa and washer & dryer. There is an area outside with a beautiful fire pit away from the pool area. One parking space per room which is $15 per night however you can walk literally everywhere. Parking in LaJolla is hard to find so this is perfect. It's very quiet + the rooms have blackout curtains for sleeping in. They serve coffee in the lobby or you can make your own with a Keurig in your room.

Only that we had to leave for home

We liked the location, the rooms were well appointed and comfortable. There were laundry facilities for a small fee which was great. A cute little pool and hot tub and the staff were very friendly.

The rooms were noisy. Get an upstairs room if you can as being downstairs meant you could hear every footstep of those above. I did not appreciate my email address being shared with other guests. It’s advertise as free parking but there is a $15 per night fee. Not huge but should be made clear

Five minute walk to a beautiful beach. A few local places to eat and we enjoyed a Chinese takeaway which was about 3 minute walk from the hotel. Easy to get into San Diego and surrounding areas. The staff are friendly and helpful, Alice was more than helpful with advice and help during our stay. We spoke several times to Trisha the hotel manager and the friendliness definitely starts from the top down. In reception there was a tea and coffee machine which was complementary to guest and sachets of porridge for those who needed a quick breakfast fix. Oh, and we were guest of the day so enjoyed free parking during our stay and late check out free too. There was also an hour free bike hire which we didn’t take up. The sunset was amazing from the local beach

Staff, esp Alice and Tricia, were so friendly and helpful. Bed was very comfortable. Location was very handy for the beach, which was located at the end of the street, down a hill in an area that felt very safe. Less than 10 minute drive to La Jolla village. Everything was very clean and seems to have been recently renovated. Free parking available in their lot, could be right if you have a big car/truck. Wifi and AC work very well. We had no issues during our 2 night stay. Highly recommend.
