The Sands of La Jolla

8/10 Good
"The location is awesome, super convenient access to everything. It served the purpose we needed, (mainly to sleep). We were switched from a room with a balcony to a ground floor unit which was not ideal. The room had really poor ventilation and left all our belongings feeling somewhat damp. We also informed the staff that our room phone was not working shortly after arriving and despite being told they’d come check it out, it was never fixed. The office was closed until 8am and we ran out of toilet paper so we had to go to cvs and buy our own."
