We asked chat gpt for a nice area in San Diego and La Jolla turned up. After some reading we decided for the Sands.
Good beds, fast check in (early) and well all was good. The design of the room is modern and high tech which helped a lot.

We arrived 30 minutes after check in time and were told our room wasn’t ready and it would be another 30 minutes. That was not a good way to begin our stay. Otherwise the room was nice, fit our needs and was very quiet and comfortable.

Great location for visiting relatives in La Jolla. Everything was super clean. Rooms are on the small side but suited our needs perfectly.

It was a great place to stay. No breakfast but close to restaurants and coffee places and a short drive to La Jolla caves. Parking is free and easy! Would definitely stay again!

They have done an amazing job on the remodel of this motel. It’s inviting, modern, clean and the staff is so friendly and hard working.
The only reason I wouldn’t give it a 10 out of 10 is that the bed is rock hard. I don’t need a plush bed but something with a little more give than bricks wrapped in linens. It’s a low to the ground platform style with no box springs so that doesn’t help either. The pillows are t flimsy too and there were no king size pillows on a king size bed.
Otherwise the stay was wonderful, location was perfect, could walk to many La Jolla restaurants. Short drive to many great beaches.

This was our second time staying here. Awesome location. Clean. Safe. Comfortable. The only complaint i have would be that the room smelled a little musty upon arrival. Other than that, everything was great.

Love the property. Clean and new, up to date decoration and facility. The room comes with a balcony which is nice, though not much view to see. Location wise, it is okay, there are dinings and some shops nearby but not many.

In the perfect location in the heart of Bird Rock the motel is a kind of throw back you don't see much of anymore. I appreciated receiving personalized texts prior to and confirming my arrival and the front desk receptionist was very friendly upon checking in.

The place was nice, but they did not accept my one key amount so basically I had to pay for it when it should’ve been free.

We stayed here for a work trip and check in was difficult. They require that you have a CC in hand and the person who owns the CC there with you or they won't let you check in. They say if you pay online that isn't an issue but that wasn't an option for us when booking. Just keep that in mind if you are booking for things business related.

Though a fair number of parking spots… not enough. We had to park on the street. The room was a bit odd. Only one chair and only one very small night table for two queen beds. Some electrical outlets didn’t work. Bathroom fan worked… when it wanted to. A fair room rate.

Great remodelling, super clean, convenient location. Interesting modern feature in room. Nice property.

I booked a 3 star hotel, what I received was not that. It is a small hotel with limited parking. Maybe more like a motel. The floors and walls are paper thin and you can hear people in the parking lot and we'll and people walking upstairs. The worse part was , I had to ask for clean sheets when I first got there. The bedding was dirty and obviously not changed between the last stay. The clean sheets I was given had stains but did appear to be washed. I wouldn't stay again.

Great location, very clean. Everything was great but I have a bad back and the low bed did me no favors. I walked in the morning near the water, great little park near by, Starbucks in walking distance. if not for my back issue, I would stay here again. Makeup towel - fantastic idea!

When I saw a sliding glass door in pictures I thought there would be a private outside area but it opened into a common area. I was hoping for a private place to read and sip a drink. I had low expectations for a view and there wasn’t one. No breakfast service but there was coffee. There was not much special nearby. I did walk 30 minutes to find more touristy things.
Not their fault but every place required $10 min parking if you did not walk.
Issues with place was too much light in the rooms. Bathroom had motion detector and light turned on too easy but when I showered it turned off. The mirror had a glowing on button to turn on its light. At night it was like having a night light. I prefer complete darkness. There was also a clock near the tv facing the beds. It was too bright too. I had to turn it off.
When we went out for the day we did not display the need maid service sign and so didn’t get any. Normally you get maid service unless you say do not disturb.
So nothing was too horrible but it was disappointing.
