I was a little apprehensive to go to this hotel because of the reviews I read here. My stay was wonderful, right on the beach, you can watch seals and dolphins all day! I didn't want to leave!!! Don't come expecting excellent accomodations. They are average, it is an older hotel. Your paying for location that's for sure, and it's... more

This hotel is in a great location with a wonderful view if you are ocean side, but it is very old and not particularly clean inside. Large holes in the bathroom wall along the shower was filled with mold and decaying wood. The back of closets are exposed concrete block with openings down into the wall crevaces, which was a... more

I knew nothing about La Jolla, CA, but I found this hotel's website and booked our room. The night before we left, I saw all of the horrible reviews on TripAdvisor and almost canceled my reservation. I am so glad I didn't. I honestly cannot tell you why there are bad reviews for this hotel. My husband and I figure... more

I stayed here with my two children (4 and 6) during the peak summer months. Although I agree with the other reviewers - the hotel is very old and could stand a serious remodel - PARENTS... it's worth it. I stayed in a one bedroom room that overlooked the beach. It was wonderful to be able to put my children... more

We planned a golden anniversary celebration for my parents that took place last week and wow, I wish I had known about Tripadvisor when we made the reservation 6 months ago. This place is 1970's cheap, shabby, thin sheets, body fluid stains on the blankets and lipstick stains on the towels, insects we dread in one of the bathrooms, hair... more

Old, musty, noisy. Office staff is very rude if you have any special requests. Way overpriced; you can fly to Maui and stay on the beach for a week and it will cost less than this outdated place (including airfare to Hawaii)! I know, because I did it. I have stayed in hotels and condos throughout the United States and... more

June 16, 2007: The date in matter Dear Sirs, I could not let my experience at your hotel slip by without informing you about it. First of all I want you to know we are quiet, clean and respectable people. When signing into your hotel we were asked to sign and initial a form stating that we would be quiet... more

We booked here since I love to swim in the Cove. It had a great view of the water and swimmers. Small room but workable. Cons- The tv didn't work, kept shorting out when we turned it on. Old smell over the whole hotel. Internet- they say they have it, but we had to go to a scary, "conference room"... more
