A gem in Bird Rock!
The Sands is a gem in the Bird Rock area of La Jolla. The location is great with it being block from the ocean and down the street from anything you may need for food, drinks, etc. The employees are awesome and I look forward to my next stay.

This little gem is awesome! Across the street from the pacific. Room is clean, quiet, and has a killer fridge if you stay for a few days. Right down the street is killer food and entertainment. This would be worth it at twice the price!

Well appointed lodging. Near the bird rock beach and surrounded by very nice neighborhood. Exterior and interior are very detailed and sophisticated and spotless. Plenty of high quality cabinets/storage spaces. Black out curtains worked well. Plenty of USB outlets. Very nice furniture. Comfortable bed. Beautiful and well maintained balcony for seating. Gates with pass codes.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel has recently been completely renovated. Everything is new and technically updated, and done very nicely. The bed was comfortable. The hotel's neighborhood has many shops and restaurants and is located a 10 minute drive to downtown La Jolla. There are several coffee shops nearby, but it would be nice to have a coffee maker in the room.

Great Stay
Our stay was off-season and the hotel was not full, but our room was clean, well laid-out and perfect for our quick get-away. The town was a bit sleepy and closed up early but that was just fine for us. I'd recommend this hotel - it was a great stay!

EXCELLENT Stay
We definitely plan to return to this location. The room was clean and very comfortable. The service was great. Coffee, though not in each individual room, is available in the hotel lobby with an assortment of creamers. There is a microwave available, outside the room, in a shared common area. This location has easy walking access to the shore, shops, coffee, bakery, all within 2 to 3 blocks. The view to the West was great. We look forward to staying here again.

clean and comfortable
I was happy with the room, it was clean, the beds were soft and comfortable. The room did not have a coffee machine, I went to the office to get some coffee, but they did not open until 8 am. If early morning coffee is a must have you will need to drive or walk to a coffee shop. i would stay here again despite the coffee issue.
