The cleanliness and modern furniture , awesome security and spacious house is worth staying and enjoying a wonderful family experience. I came with family for work and leisure with my husband and son - they also had same good vibes and enjoyable stay. The rooms were neat and clean , bedding , extra storage place , the kitchen- spotlessly tidy and well maintained . The washrooms were very clean. The apartments interior and every thing was well kept. Felt cozy getting back after a chilling cold day outside. Extra pillows and throws and comforters were provided. My son had lovely time in the hall and balcony with a nice view. A special mention about the caring and warm host - Bobby and Janet - from entry to exit - was seamlessly well in touch that everything goes smooth for their guests. I had checked In late - post working hour - Bobby was sweet enough to guide through all the way as we come from a different country - very very happy and awesome experience - both owner and their property is worth a mention and I definitely recommend it to those who want a lovely experience worth every penny.

Situated in San Diego and with Wipeout Beach reachable within 600 metres, Orli La Jolla features concierge services, non-smoking rooms, free bikes, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. The property is located 600 metres from South Casa Beach, less than 1 km from Whispering Sands Beach and 13 km from SeaWorld San Diego. Some rooms at the property have a balcony with a sea view.

Incredibly charming hotel, we will come back for sure! We stayed for 8 nights : one night in the « Nomad » room and 7 nights in « The Bunk » room. First of all, prior to our arrival, the concierges were very responsive to all of our questions and demands. On site, the staff is so helpful and you can feel that they want to make your stay enjoyable. Each room was very clean and the beds were extremely comfy. The common areas were delightful and luxurious, with fresh flowers and incredible attention to detail. You can tell that the owners really put some thought into every little aspect of the hotel. The Nomad is a spacious room with a peak on the ocean. The Polaroid in this room was really a great surprise and we had fun with it. The Bunk is a smaller room without any view, but we preferred it for our week stay because of the kitchenette (large sink, mini fridge, Nespresso, kettle, toaster, large Breville toaster oven / air fryer). We were traveling with our 7 year old son, so the kitchenette was really useful for us. Parking was plentiful on the street and we did not need to pay. The location was fantastic. Plenty of shops, restaurants and of course, the ocean (and the seals!!!), all within a very short walking distance. All and all, we had a fabulous stay and it was the best hotel we have ever experienced.

    The resort location was excellent, the area of bay immediately outside the property was perfect for families with children. They also had several activities that the kids enjoyed i.e. movie night, crafts, daily "meet the parrots". The pool area was great too. When we did have meals at the resort we were always seated straight away, they offered a children's menu and the Morays bar will make a "Shirley Temple" for kids at request.

    This is great for family vacations. It has multiple pools so it never felt crowded. The breakfast at Barefoot on the Beach was terrific. Although we did not take advantage of it, I saw other families enjoying the bonfire pits on the sand at the bay. We definitely intend to do that on our next visit. The staff was very friendly - front desk; cleaning; maintenance; restaurant - everyone said hello and was accommodating.

    Nice location just in the heart of Little Italy, full of restaurants, bars, shops next too. You don't need to check other district you have everything you need here.:-) It's very animated night life, music, people. The location is much cleaner and more confortable than Gaslamp, but still is a lot of fun, but more family style with dogs and kids. You can walk to the ancient boats from the hotel. Hotel is very cosy with a nice patio. Price was good. There is a coffee bar just in the hotel. Nice view from the window.
