We loved this charming little hotel. Great location with walking distance to tons of restaurants. We loved the little seating area overlooking the water. We would definitely stay again.
Ideal location for a wedding at the Cuvier bowl. Staff were warm and welcoming room was spacious and comfortable.

Super cute rooms, friendly staff and the location was fantastic. Walking distance to restaurants and the beach was at our doorstep. Will definitely stay there again.
Loved this place! Excellent location and wonderful staff. A great view and close to where the harbor seals and sea lions are. Walkable to many restaurants. I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely location… rooms need some maintenance, but overall I look forward to visiting again.
Great little property right on the ocean. Staff are helpful and friendly. It’s starting to show its age, but I understand a major renovation is in the works for the fall.
Enjoyed the location across from the beach with restaurants and more activity a short walk away. Loved being able to hear the ocean at night. Would stay again.
Perfect set up for us. The view amazing and walkable to restaurants and shops.

We came in late and left after a morning coffee. Perfect location, near the beach & close walk to downtown. Old school hotel with helpful staff and easy access to everything in downtown La Jolla

To our surprise, when we arrived, we were upgraded to a 2-bed room with kitchenette with all the amenities. Second floor with a straight view to the sunset. If in the area again, definitely will re-book.
There are plenty of shops nearby and the rooms along with the customer service are truly welcoming. However, the beach might be a bit challenging to reach for some visitors.
We had an amazing stay at this charming, small hotel in La Jolla. The location is unbeatable—right across from the ocean with beautiful views, and just minutes from the Cove and everything San Diego has to offer. The property feels cozy and homely, almost like a studio apartment, and the room was spotless. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the after-hours check-in was seamless. We loved everything about this place and will definitely be coming back.
