La Jolla cove is an awesome spot to catch site of hundreds of local wildlife including seals, cormorants, and Pelicans. The California Brown Pelicans can be found right next to the sidewalks roosting in La Jolla. December to February the males display a beautiful reddish to Olive green gullet. I love going in the early mornings to see these beauties roosting along the cliff side. They are literally 4ft from the sidewalk. As long as you don't make sudden movements it loud noises, they will happily allow you to take their photos. 😊. While there, you will see their 'neighbors', the Cormorants, mingling amongst the tribe! The male Cormorants might be seen bringing supplies to the Mrs. to build their nest! Absolutely an awesome 👏🏻 site to behold to see so much wildlife only a few feet away!

5/5 Excellent

"The hotel itself was surprisingly great. Clean rooms and comfortable beds. Parking wasn't an issue and the breakfast was great! The area does get dicey at night with a lot of homeless in the area but we felt safe up on the third floor and didn't see any homeless on the property. Great amenities for the price: quiet microwave, a working refrigerator, and free coffee in room. The local Italian restaurant that was advertised in the room was also a huge hit with the entire family with cheap delivery. You can also catch a free view of the Seaworld fireworks from the third floor, which the kids loved. Overall it was a very good stay."
