The hotel is in a great location and very close to restaurants, coffee, and the ocean. The location is busy but the valet was quick and worth it. Our room was small, the AC was noisy, and bathroom counter space was nonexistent. Housekeeping was good but at 5pm when we wanted to get ready for dinner and very inconvenient. No elevator if steps are a problem but we luckily had a 1st floor room.

Great location and staff. Rooms were dark and bit outdated especially the bathroom. It was clean enough but expected better for the price.

Hotel is in a prime location so it was noisy and we were woken up by garbage trucks, car doors slamming or loud pedestrians as early as 6am as we were given first floor rooms.

Parking was horrendous given the location.

Loved we could walk up a flight of stairs to Birdseye and have a beautiful ocean view. Our room had a balcony with an ocean view as well. Room was small but having the balcony made up for it. Bed was comfortable, sheets were so soft I actually ordered some online. For being right off Prospect it was fairly quiet. The town pretty much shuts down after 10pm. We walked everywhere, never had to get in a car. Love that! I would 100% go back to this hotel.

Very nice staff. Very small rooms. The rooms on the street level are like motel rooms where you enter the room from the outside are very loud. There is only one very small window so very little light in the room and not many lamps. Room is very dark. The air conditioning was very loud and probably why ear plugs are provided on the bedside.

This is such a cute hotel! It’s in a great location to everything in downtown La Jolla. We were able to see the ocean from our room and walk to everything we wanted to do. Our room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and accommodating.

My only negative was that our room was directly under the rooftop restaurant. We could hear chair and table movement from our room and it was loud. Luckily, on the weeknights the restaurant is only open until 9pm, so it wasn’t that big of a deal as we are night owls. However, if this is something that would bother you, I’d suggest getting a room that is not directly under the restaurant.

Beautiful view from hotel, clean rooms, but not very spacious, our room was next to the hotel restaurant restroom and guest would make line in front of our room door. I only inquired about an early check in weeks before my arrival through their chat service and was automatically charged 50.00 for early check in without my authorization. I had to request a refund upon my departure and they indicated it was an error.

Situated in a very noisy area. Lots of traffic noise. In addition, we were in a room right below a rooftop bar that was open late. After it closed, they move furniture to clean floors and drag chairs across floors right above you. Horribly noisy and impossible to sleep. Would never go back.

Overall, this is a great hotel to stay at in La Jolla. It’s a prime location in the village. Everything is walkable ballet was convenient and quick.

The room was small, with an awkward angled entrance at the bathroom door. The view from our room was perfect. I did find the bed to be a little bit uncomfortable. We also found it hard to regulate the temperature. With the air conditioner off, it was quite warm in the room. But with the oscillating air air-conditioning unit on, it was immediately ice cold and freezing.

We were also on the third floor with the restaurant right above us. The chairs from the restaurant scraping on the floor above creating very loud noises right after closing. We assumed it was from the restaurant staff cleaning up after closing.

Overall, though, I would stay there again. The location and service were both great.

The location is genuinely beautiful and there are pocket views of the Pacific — I’ll give it that. But the reality of staying here didn’t match the marketing. There is a photo of a pool on Google that is completely misleading — there is no pool. I’ve already submitted a correction to Google to have it removed, but future guests should know before they book.

The noise — both street and interior — was a significant and persistent issue throughout my stay. It was loud enough that the hotel thoughtfully provides earplugs in the room, which tells you everything you need to know. For anyone who values rest and quiet, this is not the place.

Service was consistently transactional at best. The warmth that other reviewers mention was not my experience. At Birdseye rooftop I waited approximately seven minutes without being acknowledged, and general interactions with staff throughout my stay felt perfunctory rather than welcoming.

The concept is charming and the location is prime La Jolla. But future guests should go in with carefully managed expectations — particularly around noise and the accuracy of what’s advertised.

The room we had on the third floor was clean, had an a/c unit (which was great and needed) bed was comfortable and they cleaned the room and made the bed each day. Note that even though there are 4 floors there is no elevator. But I am sure the staff would help if you need it (we were ok carrying ours). As others have said the room is not small, but isn’t spacious either. The open air restaurant and bar on the roof has great staff who are pretty good. Remember that if you are staying at the hotel you get a discount on the bill if you show your room card.
The views are nice but there is no noise reduction requirements for cars or motorbikes in the town so it can get REALLY noisy.

In town for the La Jolla marathon (10k). The location is not only perfect for the race, but all around. Easy to walk to the beach, shopping and restaurants. The valley was prompt and had the bonus of multiple uses for no added charge. Its a bit close to the street-not ideal for light sleepers. Not a luxury property. If you want a nice clean hotel, well run, and location is important, you cant go wrong. I hope to stay here next year

The hotel was nice, but unfortunately we were given a room on the 4th floor and man it's loud up there. They shouldn't even give rooms up there. The bar noise is out of control and constant people walking by to go to the restaurant. They offered ear plugs which was nice but my husband had to run the half marathon the next day and didn't sleep well. If you get assigned on the 4th floor, ask for a different room.

Although the location and staff were great, the particular room we were given (305) was very noisy late into the night due to the rooftop bar. Even the final cleanup by the staff, had people dropping items and essentially yelling good bye to each other right outside our window at close to midnight. We needed to be up early the next day, so this was very inconvenient.

The staff was nice but the hotel was not as advertised. The photos make the place look really nice but the inside was just okay. The bottom of the bathroom walls were falling apart, the wall paper was peeling off the walls, and the floors looked dirty in the bathroom. They did not have central air and only had this ductless air system that made a fairly loud buzzing sound. The bed was comfortable. The walls must be very thin because the next door neighbor called the front desk to complain about too much noise coming from our room when we were watching TV at a fairly low level. Last but not least there are a few rooms that are accessible from outside the building. I like to be inside the building at a hotel and was not aware I would be put in a room outside which I did not like for safety reasons. If you are just looking for a hotel with a good location this is a great option but the room itself left a lot to be desired.

Location, location is great!! A few blocks from seal cove and great view of the ocean from our balcony. Basically within walking distance to everything in LaJolla. We used Valet parking which worked perfectly for us. The Birds Eye View rooftop bar was a nice spot to enjoy delicious cocktails or to grab a bite to eat. There was a glitch with the air conditioning on the 2nd floor for several nights. However, management made it right once made aware of the issue. Had no issue with noise from the rooftop bar as mentioned in previous comments. Enjoyed the espresso machine in the room and coffee on the 2nd floor hallway daily. Beds were comfortable and room cleaned daily. There is a little convenience store attached to the hotel which is open 24/7. Nice to pick-up drinks or snacks as needed. Staff were very professional, helpful and pleasant. I would recommend for those who enjoy smaller, quaint more personal hotels. Please note: there is no elevator. Staff offered their help and assistance as needed. Would stay again when we return to LaJolla.

Overall, my stay was pleasant, but noise was an issue. I was on the third floor directly below the rooftop bar, and the ceilings and walls seemed quite thin. Whenever chairs or tables were moved upstairs, the sound was surprisingly loud in my room. The bar closes at 8 PM, so the noise stopped around then, but it started again around 7 AM the next morning (maybe cleaning?). I was also woken up at night by the sound of the neighboring guests entering their room.

I’m a fairly light sleeper, so this may not bother everyone. The hotel does provide earplugs, which is a thoughtful touch, but they didn’t do much to block the sound of furniture being moved. If you’re sensitive to noise, you may want to request a room away from the rooftop bar.

I recently stayed at The Cormorant Boutique Hotel, and the location is a major highlight. It is right near La Jolla cove, making everything very walkable and convenient.

The room was spacious, very clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The sheets, chairs, bathroom, and shower all felt well maintained. I had a Balcony King room with a beautiful ocean view. Even though it faced a main street, the noise level was minimal once the sliding door was closed.

The only disappointing part of the experience was check in. There was no one at the front desk for several minutes when I arrived, which made the arrival feel confusing and not particularly welcoming.

Overall, I would give it a 3 out of 5. The room and location were strong positives, but the check in experience impacted the overall stay.
