The Sands of LaJolla is a great place to stay. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable and the staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcomed. I love the area, walkable and safe. There are coffee shops, restaurants and beautiful ocean views right down the street. I would rate it an 11 if they had full length mirrors in the rooms.
