• View of ocean was good. Ultramodern Bathroom/Shower was luxurious.
• They wanted to charge for parking even though had ample spaces.

“Good location, and recommend top floor restaurant for food as well as view.”

• Incredible location in La Jolla. Great view of the Pacific Ocean.
• Lobby is unimpressive.

“The rooms have been recently remodeled and are quite impressive. The rooms have a contemporary look to them. The view from the room overlooking the Pacific Ocean is gorgeous. The bathroom with a shower that has a view of the ocean is a real plus. The beds, pillows, and sheets were first rate.”

• The restaurant had the best service in the hotel.
• Things will get stolen out of your room and no one will be responsible for it because they don't care.

“I just recently stayed at this hotel. They let construction workers in my room without notifying us and while we were not in our room we returned and he was in there and my 500 dollar iphone came up missing. The service was extremely rude. The man at the front desk had a horrible attitude and was unaccommodating. Our room was not prepared for us, our phone did not work and the general manager will just blow smoke up your butt and nothing will ever get resolved. I would not recommend anyone to stay at this hotel ever!”

• Love the conveniences of being close to the freeway.
• Loud neighbors and walking pass remodeling rooms.

“I liked the attractiveness of the hotel's outward appearance. Room was clean and has met my expectations. Just annoyed with next door neighbors slamming doors loudly in the morning during my 2 days stay with my boyfriend. And being put on a floor where they are remodeling. Killed the romantic mood.”

• Hotel staff was friendly. The room was comfortable. View of beach.
• Noise was an issue and not just from the work on the remodel. Paying extra for parking. Electricity went out

“The future looks promising with the new remodeled rooms. We liked the view of the beach. The hotel was comfortable and it is possible we would stay there again after the construction is done. The room was comfortable. Did not think the cost for parking should be extra.”

• Staff was pretty friendly & the view wasn’t bad.
  

“Overall, it was pleasant. It was our anniversary so I was hoping for a little more of a romantic room. I see the refurbishing in the future, looks nice, we would stay again.”

• I loved the telescope in the room to look at the beach/sunset, room was spacious, clean and comfortable.
• The lobby was really small and the staff was not terribly helpful or friendly.

“Great location, great view, quality of room itself is great, pool is nice, but small, lobby area and staff leave something to be desired.”

• Good shower.
• NA.

“When I called the hotel to request one of the 2 rooms with 2 beds, they advised they could only upgrade to 2 beds for an extra $40. Seeing how we were asking our host family from LA to San Diego for the day, it was difficult to do anything but pay the extra $40. This did not get us a suite but just an extra bed. This may make me think twice in the future. A very bad taste in my mouth from this one bad experience.”

• Location.
• Non working movie channel-TV hook up.

“La Jolla Hotel: Ok, you just walked into the 1960's. Here in La Jolla Shores the past-classy feel holds up. It's charming. Original Developer, Doug Manchester wanted an indoor/outdoor experience. In Los Angeles this garden architectural would be troubling. The hallways are outside. In La Jolla it works. The decor is lovely.”

• Very nice pool/hot tub.
• Needed lots of minor maintenance to the rooms.

“Nice hotel, they just have to pay more attention to minor maintenance to the rooms. Just a bunch of little things that need attention. Overall a very nice hotel with a great experience.”

• Manager was friendly and cooperative; free internet access; quiet room.
• Very high parking fees; very few amenities, impersonal atmosphere.

“This hotel was overpriced for its room and amenities. It charges $15 per night parking, offers no breakfast, no microwave, no view, no shuttle to hereby Sea World. May be ok for business traveler but not good for leisure vacationers, especially those with children.”

• The room was spacious. We had a nice view of La Jolla beach. Convenient drive to the beach and short walk to Starbucks.
• Some of the furniture was outdated. Our balcony was quite small in width, yet the length of the room.

“After an exhausting day spent at the beach, we checked into hotel at 3 PM. The elevator quickly took us to our floor, where we found our room to be quite spacious and relaxing. In the evening we watched the sun set into the horizon from our balcony. A peaceful end to a day well spent. The next day I awoke from a good nights sleep. Headed down to Starbucks, grabbed a couple of coffees and hot chocolates for everyone in the room. The landscape was lush and beautiful on the grounds of the hotel as I walked back to the room with my way of starting off a great day. Prior to leaving, we noticed the card on the back of the door detailing the rates of the room. We soon checked out and headed to the beach for another day of fun.”

• The location.
• Stolen items from room.

“The hotels location is great, the staff seemed friendly, would not recommend for families, also had items stolen from our room while on our stay and had dirty laundry left in the room on our bed that was not ours.”

• The restaurant service was lacking.

“Excellent hotel newly refurbished, lots of greenery, nice staff, clean and very accommodating. They have free shuttle service to town which saves the hassle of looking for parking.”

• Location, easy access to freeway, walking distance to a wonderful beach.
• Our rooms were very old and the electricity outlets were loaded with plugs. Did not look safe.

“We were in the lower floor (floor 2) which has not been renovated. You also have no view of the beach till you get to the 5th floor. Of course, from the restaurant you can see the view. Otherwise, it is a great location for the price. There is a Starbucks and a Subway within 100 steps on the other side of a hedge which is very convenient. Also, the pool is small but has nice lounge chairs and the water temperature was perfect.”

“It looks like their remodeling the rooms and from the look of the design I could give them tree stars. In addition to that I would enjoy staying there again.”
