Great local hotel that is located by many restaurants, stores and sightseeing. This was our third time staying at La Jolla and have never had a bad experience. If you are looking for an up scale resort with all the amenities, this is not it. But it offers all the things you need including bikes, kayaks, small pool, efficiency kitchen ( we make eggs every morning), nice sized room, great views of the gulf (oven front). It’s a quant keys resort but we live the location and the price. We’ll definitely be returning again next year.

The room was spacious. The kitchenette was set up nicely but our stay was too short to take advantage of the cooktop, fridge, or microwave. Paid a $25 “resort fee” but didn’t see the value. The pool had no heater and was too cold to use. The chairs out by the bay didn’t have cushions. Men were working on a renovation until sundown so it was noisy. The water flow in the shower was a trickle. Good luck trying to wash shampoo out of your hair.
