My boyfriend and I stayed at Hotel La Jolla for Valentine's Day. In the past, my family always stayed at this hotel when they visited me while I was attending UCSD. This hotel is very convenient to the campus. It's only a 5 minute drive to the center of school. We received a complimentary upgrade to a suite when we... More

We just returned from our stay in southern California. The Hotel La Jolla was our last stop, we stayed for 3 nights. We were on the 9th floor and had beautiful views and not much noise. I am very bothered by traffic noise but we kept the balcony doors closed at night and didn't hear a thing, they did an... More

We stayed in room 808 on the 8th floor with an oceanview. The room was very warm and did not cool down even though we had the cool setting on high. The refrigerator did not work. It was warm and had a tray of moldy water. The room was very quiet which was nice. There is a lot of traffic... More

Stayed at the Hotel La Jolla with several family members for 4 days. We were on the 10th floor, and if you need to get to bed early, avoid this. It's directly underneath the bar/restaurant, and is very noisy until they shut down (about 11:00PM or so). The rooms were spacious, bright and clean, but the bathrooms are indeed small.... More

The rooms were nice, but very hot upon arrival. The bathroom was clean, but very,very small. The guests in the room next to us were screaming at the top of their lungs from 1am to 5am. The front desk, security, anyone for that matter were no where to be found. We got zero sleep. This was supposed to be our... More

We stayed of the 9th Floor and loved every minute of our trip. Only improvement would be a larger bathroom. The view was great and we were near what we wanted to visit. Front desk staff was very helpful but had very little personality. No frills to speak of, but was very restfull.

Nice hotel. Short walk to the beach, shopping, dining etc.. Pool and exercise room were small but clean and well maintained. Furnishings were a bit dated, but rooms were clean and well supplied with towels, soap, shampoo.. Streets nearby are busy, so try to get an upper floor to get away from the noise. Ocean view rooms are worth it... More

My family reserved 3 rooms, all with garden view: 1 room had 2 doubles and the other two had the king. We were not able to check in before 10 pm, so I called a couple of times to let them know. We were concerned about being able to get 3 rooms nearby. We were pleasantly surprised that all 3... More
