The butterfly garden and apiary mentioned in the ads are what drew me to this location. Although the butterfly garden in apiary are not a major part of the grounds, they were still delightful. The location is amazing, right across the street from UCSD. We were able to visit our nephew. My business office is within 20 minutes away and La Jolla is always super nice and picturesque near the ocean. The grounds are exquisite and the rooms very comfortable. The restaurant staff are super nice and attentive. If I were to make one complaint, the front desk seemed to be understaffed and I waited for quite a while. Each time I needed to visit the front desk. Overall, this was a great value for the stay.

You MUST have a cocktail at the lobby car. Ask for Phil, he is the man! Gin and elderflower syrup with a float of white wine on top. We had so many i forgot the name but tell him crisp martini. It's spectacular. Enjoy!!
