The location was great for us. It is within walking distance of downtown La Jolla and the cove. Nice, simple hotel, with easy check-in and check-out.

Great experience! Staff was great, the room was clean , and the location was central to the beach and several great food places. The only complaint we had was that traffic was a bit noisy during the day and the walls weren’t super sound-proof.

Ok property, a bit noisy. Parking is 10 dollars extra. The area of la jolla is beautiful, but extremely expensive in terms of food.

Don’t stay, waste of money. Not clean at all

On first look the motel looks to be a B grade property--doors opening to the parking lot etc. However, the staff is very welcoming, the rooms are generously sized and very clean, and the pool and hot tub are very nice.

Pretty good for the price. Happy to be near La Jolla, but further away from downtown activities.

This place is amazing! Spacious rooms and very clean! The customer service here was excellent! Everyone here was so helpful and the Manager Tricia was awesome and had all the answers! Literally a 6min walk to the beach, my daughter loves it!! I would definitely stay here again!

We couldn’t even check in until closer to 5pm the guy Kory in the front was no where to be seen 1/2 the time and if you call downstairs for something they make you come down to get it.

The staff went above and beyond to accomodate any need.
Beach is a 5 block walk away thru a quiet residential adea.
I'd stay there again in a heartbeat!

Excellent location very close to beautiful beach. Very clean rooms. People at front desk are very polite and professional. Cons: No movie choices...just cable TV. TV isn't "smart" so don't expect to cast your Netflix or Prime.. If you don't care about TV, this place is really nice.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed our short walk to Windansea Beach and having restaurants nearby. Threre is an on site pool, coffee bar, and the staff was super accommodating. The rooms are spacious and updated. The farm house sliding door was cute but not practical for a bathroom. I’d definitely stay here again.

Decent hotel for the price and very close to the beach. 5 min walking distance. Staff was really nice, rooms were clean, we would definitely stay here again when we are in the area, can’t beat those beach sunsets! If you like to surf this is a great place to stay.

We only stayed one night in this motel, and we were very pleased. Our room was spacious, it had everything we needed. The AC was a bit noisy, but it did the trick on a very humid day. We liked the location, quiet area with restaurants nearby.
The staff were helpful as we unexpectedly had to stay later after the check out time. The rate to do that was fair. La Jolla is such an expensive place to stay, we found this place good value for the money.

Convenient location. Room was fairly spacious (we had a disabled-accessible room, which we hadn't requested, so the bathroom was enormous) and bed was comfortable. There seemed to be a bit of sand in the sheets, which drove me nuts, but otherwise the room seemed clean. Some of the electrical outlets didn't work. Our room was on the first floor, and there was lots of noise outside. I'd never heard of a motel charging for a late check-out, and I didn't like receiving a text asking what time I would be checking out. Overall, the hotel was fine, nothing special.

HATED the online check-in process - felt like I was applying for a job and it felt as if they were insuring I wasn't a criminal. Charging a fee for every small thing is just sad. Property itself was very nice and renovated. Room was large but rather than odd ottoman chairs, they need real ones. Also need real hook in the bathroom to properly hang wet towels. Check-out email/text also intrusive - got it at 7am and check out is at 11am so it felt as if we were told to get out. While rooms are nice, little soundproofing. We could hear everything from the room behind us through the walls. Good location, staff very nice.

This place was newly remodeled and very clean. It was walking close to the beautiful Windandsea beach as well as restaurants and shops. The staff were friendly and they had complimentary oatmeal packets in the lobby for a quick breakfast. Parking was an extra charge and the parking lot was a little tight. We had to park in back in the alley parking spots one night since it was too difficult to get in or out of the two remaining spots. Our room was spacious and had a nice balcony with table and chairs. The room could have used some more lighting and there were no towels bars or hooks in the bathroom. A nice touch was bike rentals available on site. We would stay here again and recommend it to friends.

Great stay with my family. Staff was beyond amazing, very friendly and accommodating. Right down the street from the beach so we were able to walk there. Only small complaint was that we could hear neighbors above and next to us on the 3rd night, not because they were too loud but because walls maybe are a little thin. Not enough to cause any issues, we still slept well, etc.. we loved it here and will be back again!!

Great!!!
