Ask for the complimentary airport transportation.
Star Service "It is a standard paint-by-numbers Embassy offshoot with a formula that strays little from its sibs, but regular maintenance and a fine location keep rooms full, especially on weekends." Full review

DK Eyewitness "Since 1926, the “Pink Lady of La Jolla” has enchanted with its splendid Mediterranean ambience, exquisite decor, and ideal location on the cliffs above La Jolla Cove."
Rough Guide "This radiant pink favourite of Hollywood celebs in the 1920s is a slightly less glamorous spot today, but no less plush, with capacious rooms and suites and elaborate villas."
Michelin Guide "This 1926 landmark pastel-pink stucco palace is a statement of opulent beachside style. Palms surround the "Pink Lady of La Jolla," recognizable by its mosaic-tiled tower."
Star Service "At the social epicenter of La Jolla, this property remains the town's most atmospheric hotel, a prestigious and historic pink confection with a few additions tacked on over the years." Full review
Gayot "The seaside favorite of celebrities and world-travelers, La V (as locals call it) has been the place to be relax since the early 1920s when silent film stars flocked to this tranquil pink palace."
BlackBook "Old world-charm and a new outlook. Style and substance."
