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.

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!

A pleasant stay in a very well maintain property
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.

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!
