My daughter and I only needed a place for one night. I wanted to be in a safe part of town and to have a clean, quiet room for each of us. I recently moved from La Jolla and had to move some things out of storage. I know the area, so I can say this is a good place to bring a family or for women travelers. It’s very walkable and close to the beach and restaurants, but not nextdoor to bars with drunks spilling out. We stayed when the weather was cold and just to sleep, but I wish I had had time to enjoy the huge balcony with the large dining table.
