Rick, Apr 2024

Right on the beach (seems obvious but many places are on cliffs overlooking the ocean). Small but comfortable, well appointed room (micro, frig, toaster, coffeemaker and place settings). Ocean view but private. Responsive staff and convenient location to San Diego and La Jolla. Will return! Excellent value!
