Wonderful!
Staff were very helpful, the hotel was clean, and the room was great! I read about other hotels in the are being very outdated. Our room felt new and modern. They had bathrobes for us, the bed was comfy, and the bathroom shower was great. We received complimentary late check out of 12pm. This was truly appreciated since we were out late for a wedding and my husband had some work he needed to do before we left. Overall, I'm very happy with the quality and value of our stay here.

Refuge in La Jolla
Really great experience here. My family and I were evacuees in the recent LA fires and needed to get someplace safe, comfortable and in clean air. This checked all the boxes. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
I booked this room based on its reviews and walkability score. You are minutes from the beach here and also among the shops and boutiques. There’s a juicery and coffee shop near by. Lots of great restaurants in the vicinity too.
Plus it’s dog friendly! We have already booked our next stay.

I was so excited when I reserve the hotel. But unfortunately, they give us the second floor and they have a live music at night. It was very noisy when we went to sleep until late night.and the smell of the oil from kitchen was in our room all night long other than that the location is perfect. The room was clean and the staff were nice and breakfast was good.
