"Love the location, morning and evening walks on the beach and watching the sunset from the outdoor patio with the fire pits! Being able to take the shuttle over to the Cove and having the beach service team set up umbrellas chairs and towels for us on the beach."

"Alfred at check in was extremely helpful and was able to check us in early. Alice was very pleasant at checkout and reached out after we left. The housekeeper found a blanket we left behind and they immediately contacted us. Fortunately for us we were still in the area and we retrieved item. The property is a very short 5 minute walk to the beach. Amazing views of the waves crashing on shore as Hurricane Polo was churning down south. Will visit again in the future!"

8/10 Good
"The hotel was beautiful and the location was fantastic. However, half the building is under construction and it begins at 7 AM on weekdays (equipment and supplies will start to be delivered earlier then that as well). we wanted the ocean view so we were at the front of the building so it was constantly loud. Of the 4 nights we stayed, 3 nights had weddings on the roof that went till 10, but that didn't stop the wedding party from continuing. If you're looking for something more relaxing this probably isn't the place but if you want to be right on the water and walkable to everything in La Jolla this is perfect!"
