Pros +
- The staff was great
- Excellent location in La Jolla, a 5-10-minute walk to the park and La Jolla Cove, short walks to many shops and restaurants.
- The hotel is in a nice, quaint neighborhood that is conveniently located.
Cons -
- The internet was a little slow, I paid extra for an upper floor with a balcony, which my room had, but the balcony overlooked the street and a parking garage so it was kind of a waste of an upgrade
- We stayed here once before and had a completely different experience, which is why we returned. This visit was completely different due to the cleanliness of the room and disrepair of the bathroom.
- Can use some updates/ repairs/ replacements
