Best deal in downtown LJ

Absolutely the best deal in the Village ( Downtown La Jolla is called the village) comfortable beds, close to PB/LJ. Traffic going in and out of La Jolla is perfect. Internet is great. Dining options perfect surrounding the hotel. Friendly staff. Parking below as overflow parking. A straight up great place to make your home base in SD.

The first floor rooms are terrible because the ceiling to floor windows open out onto the parking lot. One has to keep the black out curtains drawn for privacy so the rooms have no natural light.
