Great local hotel that is located by many restaurants, stores and sightseeing. This was our third time staying at La Jolla and have never had a bad experience. If you are looking for an up scale resort with all the amenities, this is not it. But it offers all the things you need including bikes, kayaks, small pool, efficiency kitchen ( we make eggs every morning), nice sized room, great views of the gulf (oven front). It’s a quant keys resort but we live the location and the price. We’ll definitely be returning again next year.
