Nice large room, hotel is old but well kept and updated. Nice ocean views but partially blocked by a high rise building. Carpeting needed cleaning, robes were worn, room humidity was a little high even with AC set high. Great amenities… free room snacks, excellent restaurant with great food and service, reasonable priced. Nice lobby, very friendly staff. Some stairs to navigate, even with an elevator, depending on where your room is. Free golf cart transportation within a mile, free bicycles usage, nice pool, short walk to beach. Door man.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice, soft towels. Free snacks in room. Our room faced the main street and was a little noisy especially early in the morning.

The location is excellent. The 9-10 restaurants on the ground floor offer very good food and service quality. The hotel is 115 years old. The price-performance ratio is reasonable. It was a pleasant stay. I recommend it.

This hotel is located right next to Lajolla Cove, but the building facilities are a bit old, and the service of the staff is not good. The check-in time is 4 pm, but there are few people to clean the room. Even if you urge them, they will not be able to finish until after 3 pm. But the check-out time is 11 am. The most important thing is that if you have a large suitcase and are not arranged in the room of the small building below, then the distance to bring the suitcase to the room is very long, and 90% of the steps are stairs, and there is not even a ramp. The hotel has several small buildings, the entrances and exits are not clearly marked, and the rooms are in different directions. With a large suitcase, I was already very uncomfortable before I got to the room, and the girls were even more frustrated. The suite room is quite large and you can cook a simple meal. But the facilities are a bit old, the air conditioning system is very noisy, the sound insulation between the upper and lower floors is poor, and the carpet is dirty. Towels and bedding are not bad (this may be in time for replacement). There is a small swimming pool. Anyway, I don’t require public facilities. The price is between 350 and 550 US dollars, which is not worth it. Anyway, don’t choose it if you have a large suitcase. The wheels hit the steps and one of them is directly broken. There are fewer hotel options on Ctrip in this area, but there are actually many small hotels to choose from. It is recommended to check several websites.

Old School Charm The staff was amazing, especially Kassandra at the front desk. Her friendly demeanor and customer service was outstanding. The rooms are well appointed and clean, with many having ocean views. The ocean and La Jolla Village, with its shops and restaurants, are within easy walking distance. The hotel has the feel of a family owned, boutique hotel.

I did not have breakfast or drinks. The property is old and looks every day of it. My room faced th e ocean and had a lot of light. But when people were congregating in the outdoor area of the hotel at night it was noisy. I found the staff to be less than helpful in accommodating requests.
