“In my opinion, this is a particularly charming boutique experience. Its location directly across from the beach and walking distance to La Jolla makes it an ideal spot, plus the addition of beach gear is a thoughtful touch. For travelers wanting an intimate, well-situated stay, this should be on the list.”
