Overall great stay! Close proximity to the beach and a few local spots. My only complaint/suggestion is to have more lighting in the room(dark and hard to see) . Also the bathroom fans really don’t do much at all , so some room spray would be great 😅😂

Was slightly tired feeling hotel. Room smelled musty and construction happening across the road. It’s a short walk to the beach to see the beautiful sunsets in La Jolla. The location is slightly far from the restaurants in La Jolla.
