“What I found notable is the hotel's European-style charm, a refreshing counterpoint to typical beachfront stays. The location places you steps from La Jolla's cove and beaches, and a short walk from neighborhood restaurants. I think it's a practical choice, especially considering its pet-friendly policy and included breakfast.”
