"Great location for a slow stay in La Jolla. I appreciate the laid back vibe of this older property. It’s well maintained and has everything I needed to fully unwind. I love that it isn’t stuffy. I don’t get the $55 parking fee. That’s steep. I highly recommend this place especially if you can find some where else to park."
