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 clean and the area is safe. However, they need to update the credit card machine was very difficult to charge. I have to try so many times until it went through.

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.
