Charming Modern Inn - Bird Rock (La Jolla/PB)
Property was nice, clean and the service was great. Nice quiet location in a charming neighborhood. I appreciated the nice modern design and unconventional details. Only recommendation I would make is to add a full mirror to the room for dressing purposes. Could mount it to the back of the door or on one of the walls.

Rooms have been nicely updated.
Staff was top notch.
Incredible area, on the weekend, people line up at Wayfarer to grab amazing baked goods and then either walk to the water to relax and eat or go a few doors down to Bird Rock Coffee.

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.

Had a great time. The room was super clean. My wife brings wipes on every trip so she can clean the place before settling in. There was no dirt/dust on the wet wipe because the room was spotless.

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!
