"Hallway smelled bad"

"Scandia is quiet, you can walk wherever you wish, to the lagoon, beach, the village. The people who run Scandia are awesome! My mother has been in the hospital and I drive everyday to La Jolla to visit her. This place has been a blessing. When I return every day I can grab a delicious sandwich at the local health food store up the street, take a walk to the parks. There is historic Victorian McGee park across the road or another one behind the motel on the next street. Being an only-child helping my mother, Scandia has been a sanctuary for me after a day of responsibility. Walk the Buena Vista lagoon trail up the street (California’s first ecological preserve) or there are fun vintage and thrift stores about 5 blocks North alongside boutique coffee roasters. I am vegetarian, found a restaurant, The Plot, up the street on Pacific Coast Hwy, makes everything from scratch and grows their own vegetables/herbs on their onsite garden. If you want ice cream, there is Handel’s (an institution here) or authentic Italian gelato family-run in the village. Tons of Mexican food (Fidel’s is great 40 years running!). At Scandia you are surrounded by beach, palms and next to the historic Army/Navy Academy (prep school) where lovely bell tower chimes sing at night. The trees on the premises next door, at least 75 years old, eucalyptus/pine, stunning. Love Scandia. Generous refrigerator/microwave, housekeeping ladies are so kind! Wonderful! Salt air + wood scent nightly! Ah!!"

"Bed had a crazy sheet covering! Nothing was tucked in, noise was loud, slamming of doors, every time I exited the room I had to get my cards re-issued! Was a hassle."

"Great view! Great beach access. Interesting and creative food."

"This is as close to the beach as you can get. They keep the property in pristine condition. Everything you might need is close by. Staff is friendly and competent. I’ve stayed her about eight times, and it’s always a pleasure."

"Favorite place we stayed throughout our entire trip. Clean, great location, amazing place."

"All very good except: breakfast was very poor. No pastries, only the waffle machine."

"The wrist bands, their security people require should be optional and suggested, not required for adults paying top dollar for a relaxing stay. They take your ID at check in, so they should have a digital system for verification. They should offer a discount when the resort is under construction since the noise and privacy outside of the guest windows was inconvenient. They should post notices when a "special" city event is taking place that affects the roads leading to and from the resort as a reference for guests checking out or in the day of the event."

"Clean, quiet, ample parking and nice staff."
