University of California-San Diego is an important community landmark as well as an educational institution. Let your mind wander back to your college days as you explore the campus.

This modern university is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Torrey Pines. But University of California, San Diego isn't the area's only drawcard. La Jolla Cove, Torrey Pines Golf Course, and Westfield UTC are some other worthwhile sights nearby.

7.8/10 Good! (1,002 reviews)
We loved it here! It was so nice and quiet! Such a great staycation! So Family friendly and so much to do. There was a kitchen which was so useful and they were stocked with pots/pans/playes/cups/utensils and even grill amenities. It has a toaster, microwave, fridge, and coffee maker. Also has a little closet in the hallway with a broom/vacuum/iron/ironboard. The bathroom was pretty big with good water pressure and stocked with shampoo/conditioner/bodywash. Would definitely recommend! And would definitely stay again I wish check in time was earlier and check out was a little later to enjoy more but we did love the two pools and splash pad. So fun for the kids and us adults!

9/10 Wonderful! (1,057 reviews)
The hotel has been nicely refurbished and the staff is super nice and helpful. They also have their own onsite cafe. It is located in an older area that is outdated and in dire need of road repair. There is also a significant homeless presence. The property is private and secured though and conveniently located right on the beachfront.
