I was visiting for a conference and instead of staying at the conference hotel, I decided to stay at The Sands of La Jolla. I had an absolutely wonderful time. The staff was wonderful! I asked for an early check-in as my flight was getting in early, and they could accommodate that (with a minor fee). The rooms were very clean and quiet. The temperature control was good. There are a couple of nice restaurants nearby. There's a small park that overlooks the bluffs a 3-4 minute walk away. The beach is a little further down. The area around the hotel is walkable and seemed very safe. 10/10 would visit again!

I visited San Diego on a solo trip in order to explore a new environment & to "get away from it all". I can say with confidence that I had an amazing stay at Sands of La Jolla. It was exactly what I needed for a place to rest in between my adventures! The room was very clean, and had a simple yet warming design with a good amount of space to put your things at. Unlike a lot of hotel rooms I stayed in, there wasn't a strong smell of cleaning products. The service at the front desk was awesome, shoutout to Denise! She even offered to hold my luggage for me because my flight was much later. The male receptionist (I didn't get his name sorry) was very helpful in regards to the TV in the room. The location was very convenient as everything was at least 5 mins away and 25 mins at most. A very beautiful area. When I go back to San Diego, I would stay here again!

The property seemed to be newly renovated and had a very modern look. The room was spacious and had all of the amenities needed. The only thing missing was a full-length mirror. The room had some sort of odor that was unappealing.
