Very Decent Hotel Close to the Cliff and Beach

We have stayed at this hotel half a dozen times over the years. It is good and is close to the La Jolla Cove. It used to be a Best Western when they provided breakfast, which they don't any more. The $20/day parking fee is kind of high.

Amazing location. Waking up and opening shades to see the sparkling pacific is breathtaking. Felt safe and quiet and bed was comfortable. Decor is outdated and bland w ugly carpets and generic feeling like a courtyard Marriott. Staff kind. Walk the coast and to great food and shopping. Parakeet for breakfast and coffees and treats. Also like Trilogy for healthy bowls and dishes.

The staff was wonderful, the property was in downtown La Jolla, within minutes walking distance to the ocean, restaurants, and shopping. The room rate was quite reasonable for a balcony and ocean view, decor was nice and the bed was comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!
