Great location. Room accessories need repairs. Good kitchen although appliances are quite dated.
I absolutely love this place. The residents are lovely and the apartment is comfortable and clean. It is my 1st choice for accommodations in San Diego.
My room was spacious and comfortable, the staff were welcoming and accommodating, and the location was excellent, being a couple of blocks from the amazing La Jolla Shores beach! It was the perfect choice for my mini vacation to visit my son.
My family had a good time during our stay here. Staff were kind and helpful. Love the beach supplies they had for customers to borrow for the beach, which was only about a 10 minute walk.
For La Jolla, this was pretty good in a very expensive market on the price quality spectrum. A typical motel from the 1960s that’s been renovated. The staff is very nice, and parking is easy.
Great location, staff was great. Only downside is for the price it could definitely use an upgrade. AC would be a good choice. That’s the only reason for four outta five stars.
Fun, retro-ish, apartment -- much more than a room -- in a fantastic location with easy access to La Jolla and drives up the coast! The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Great location
Short walk to beach and shopping
Clean, comfortable, could use more outlets but overall great place and staff
Fun Spot to stay! A short walk to the beach. Restaurants & beach shops close by. really like a small apartment, includes a small pool. We love this place!
The property was roomy and clean. The beach is just three blocks away. Restaurants and coffee shops are two blocks away. I would recommend this property.
Excellent location and friendly staff. A little dated but beds were comfi and outdoor patio was nice. All in all, we had a wonderful time and really enjoyed our stay. We’ll be back!

Central location. Very close to the beach and cove. Also offers great accessibility to multiple dining options. Personnel, although inaccessible for the most part, were polite and helpful when encountered.
Pros
Location
Clean grounds
Friendly attendants
Clean pool
It’s literally a 1 br apartment basically with a kitchenette, I wasn’t expecting that.
I could probably think of more,
Cons
Slightly dingy as far as cleanliness goes, could’ve been worse and definitely could’ve been better. Baseboards, chair was kinda gross, dusty bathroom a couple stray hairs.
No AC, wasn’t expecting but made due with the fan and windows open.
Overall, for the price I was happy with my experience. My family and I felt safe and we had a great time,
