A gem!

This Sands is a very clean hotel with simple and functional furnishings and a great swimming pool! I found the pool a great place to get some sun and a quick swim. It is on the border of La Jolla, but about halfway between Pacific Beach and downtown La Jolla. The front desk, staff person, and all of the housekeeping and service staff were very friendly and helpful.

Good little spot in La Jolla

Very cute place that is close to a lot of fun including a 10 minute walk to the north part of Pacific Beach. Lovely service, quiet, comfy bed with a great A/C system. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend.

The location is great. Room was comfortable and clean. Wish it offered more sitting furniture in room. The trash can spot on counter was a little awkward. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Great free Parking setup which is rare in La Jolla. Walking distance to the ocean as well as coffee shops and restaurants. Room was clean and the pool was nice. Only issue was the AC had a funky smell, probably needed the filters cleaned out.
