This was a very unexpected hidden little treasure that we loved!!! We will definitely stay there again. We were pleasantly surprised. It was very quiet. Parking was easy and accessible and it was close to Pacific and Mission Beach, where we spent most of our time. CVS and Starbucks are in walking distance and a very good Mexican Food restaurant across the street. We loved it and will definitely be back!!! Thank you 🙏😁💕Johnny and Treasure

There was hair and a condom wrapper in our bed. Definitely was not cleaned well. we liked the amenities. Everything was an extra charge for something even TOWELS. We understand being worried about people stealing but it was so excessive. We liked the pool and the location but the cleanliness was bad. We went to the front desk the day before check out to request late check out and they were knocking on the front door and actually came into our room at 9:00 am when we had just told them we were staying until 12. Then the front desk called our room and told us if we aren’t out at 12 it will be a charge. Yes, we understand everything here is an extra charge for this and that. I would probably not stay here again because of the service of the staff, the weird rules and assuming everyone’s stealing, and the cleanliness.

Great location (if you like to walk). About a 20 min walk to pacific beach and 10 mins to public beach access point between pacific beach and bird rock. Lots of cute coffee shops within a 5 min walk along wth a CVS next door which was very convenient.

The location was it what was descripted. The central location for La Jolla was about 15 minutes away. The pool needed some TLC. No pool towel are there. We ended up bringing the ones from the room out. The staff in the lobby seemed to be annoyed with are questions. The
Location is not for someone wanting to walk the La Jolla district.

The property was very modern and tidy. I loved being able to pull right off the street in a good, quiet area, and right into a parking spot that was right by a property entrance. It felt so easy at the end of a long tiring day. No long walks to get to the room or the pool or the elevator. It was perfectly clean and the staff was excellent. They helped efficiently and graciously when i had a little incident. They could have been total jerks about it but they were kind and cooperative. The location is a very short direct drive to many excellent beaches and the road is easy to navigate. No traffic issues in that area. The shower was modern and very clean and nice, as was the bed and all the parts of the room. It was so quiet in the room even when people were at the pool below our room.

The location is fantastic. The hotel itself has been remodeled well, the room was clean - excellent bathroom and sink area, great lighting. Loved the patio door opened at night.

The room was clean. AC was ok. Parking was easy and close. The room we had was downstiars and the guests above us sounded like they were stomping the whole time.
Microwave available outside near the pool- that really should be inside somewhere.

The room was clean and quiet. I don't care for the sink/vanity set up as it is too high and very wide, which makes it hard for anyone under 5'4 to get ready. Otherwise it was a nice room.

Ok. My ONLY ISSUE. Please hang a full length mirror next to the bathroom entry door to the right? I am referring to room 106. How does a girl get ready without being able to see if our shoes look lame w our outfit? Also, my room lock didn’t work unless pushed to close. I left all day & my door was ajar. I know it makes a slight beeping sound but that was not every time. Otherwise, great crash pad in La Jolla. Close to PB. Safe. Thank you. LOVED the shower head too. Major +

Looked better in the photos than it actually was. Staff was great and helpful, no issues there. The main complaint was usability of the room itself: Fridge had no freezer, lamp was broken, desk/lamp was very odd (a raisable desk), mirror in bathroom was strange as well. It's like they spent the money in the wrong areas, trying to be high-tech/gadgety for some reason. Remote for smart TV was not supplied, so we had to go to front desk to get it in order to watch Prime/Netflix. No microwave in room (surprising) - had to walk to common one in hallway. No coffee maker in room. Again, they could make a big leap forward by fixing some of these basic items.

Love the location of this hotel - walking distance to beach and shops in downtown Bird Rock. The property appears to have been recently updated based on the finishes and smell of new paint. Unfortunately, the update missed the mark in terms of amenities. Beds were low, lumpy, and uncomfortable. Not enough pillows. No coffee in room, no full-length mirror, no pool towels (had to use bath towels). The layout was strange - with a desk cramped in the corner. Temp was hard to regulate on a very warm weekend as A/C is provided by a mini-split system on the wall in center of room. Balcony is a nice touch, but when sitting on the balcony, the height of the railing wall doesn't allow one to see over it - so not much to look at! Be cautious when selecting a 1st or 2nd floor room as the rooms have been updated with vinyl plank flooring - which made it very noisy when the upstairs guest was walking around overhead with heels on. Nice looking hotel with convenient location, but for the same price I would likely choose other options available in La Jolla Village.

Clean and convenient. Only issue we had was the door had to be slammed to latch. Other than that is was good for a quick overnight stay.

The Sands of LaJolla is a great place to stay. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable and the staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcomed. I love the area, walkable and safe. There are coffee shops, restaurants and beautiful ocean views right down the street. I would rate it an 11 if they had full length mirrors in the rooms.

The Room was very clean in my book. I was only there one night, so I didn't get to see the balcony. When I got there, the front desk upgraded me to a suite. That was nice. Just more room than I needed. Location-wise it was all good. Parking is tricky, but other than that, I couldn't ask for more.
