Beach Access & Rentals

Guests receive complimentary beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, and boogie boards. Bike rentals are available for $25 per hour, including helmets and locks. The hotel is steps from Windansea Beach and the Children's Pool, known for seal sightings.

La Jolla Location

The hotel is across from a grassy bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It is a 5-minute walk to the Museum of Contemporary Art, La Jolla Village for shopping, and restaurants like Tony's Pizza and The Coffee Bean. The San Diego International Airport is the closest airport.

Guest Services

The front desk provides Pack & Play Portable Playards upon request. Smoking is not allowed anywhere on the property. Nearby wedding venues include Cuvier Park, two blocks from the hotel. Scripps Clinic Urgent Care, open 24 hours, is reachable at 858-554-8638.

“The advantage here is undeniable: you are placed directly across from the ocean, providing serene waves as a constant soundtrack and expansive views. It's a location that encourages exploration on foot, with shops and galleries just a short stroll away. The rooms, while simple, are comfortable and feel quite homey, a fitting base for soaking in the coastal atmosphere.”
