My son just graduated from UCSD and I wish I had discovered this beautiful hotel earlier in his student days. It's right across the street from Muir College dorms and an easy walk to the center of campus. Expedia often has very good rates as long as you don't mind paying daily extra charge for valet. The grounds are beautifully... more

One of my favorite places to stay in San Diego. Great family friendly service, good food, and beautiful grounds. This hotel should be a four star at least. Nice comfy beds and towels plus rooms are very quiet. Although it's off the beaten path...its worth the experience! If you get to peek at a wedding...you should take advantage. It's such... more

I have stayed at Estancia a handful of times and plan on coming back. the rooms are very comfortable, the staff is very accommodating, the food is top notch. I have yet to have a chance to enjoy a full day at the gorgeous pool, but will do so on my next trip more

Everything about it was nice and peaceful and upscale....there was a wedding being held but it was soft music and we could always close the window. The music that evening was quite enjoyable on the patio at the restaurant and loved the bricked area with pillows and soft lighting. The staff was pleasant also. There was an annoyance regarding retrieving... more

My friend recommended this place. My husband and I were on our way to the Gaslamp in San Diego for business and decided to give The Estancia a try the day before. We stayed one day/night and it was wonderful! Burros Gringos has great food and Margaritas! The staff and the grounds were excellent! It's conveniently located...we walked to the... more

Wow...where do I start...or where should I stop? The Estancia Hotel & Spa was superb! From the moment I arrived and the Valet took my car, parked it and welcomed me into their hotel, I knew I was in the right spot. Check in was a breeze with the hotel map provided and directions given to my room. Once in... more

Attended a wedding held at Estancia. From check-in to check-out every detail was attended to. From the welcome dinner, ceremony, reception and brunch on Sunday, it was absolute perfection. Their attention to detail and desire to please was remarkable. The resort is immaculate and the staff was helpful and courteous. We will definitely keep Estancia on our list of places... more

I just spent three nights at the Estancia. The grounds are beautiful and the staff was helpful; however, I've had far better experiences at other hotels in La Jolla and San Diego. My room had a peculiar, gamy odor so I asked to be moved. Unfortunately, the second room had the same odor. The staff did provide a machine that... more

Staff totally unwilling to REALLY help with the situation. Guess revenue from a big wedding kills an individuals needs and concerns. Restaurant was over priced and any amenity had a price. I'm used to La Quinta in Palm Springs kind of service or Hotel Playa in Carmel CA. Now THAT'S SERVICE. This is just another wanna be. more
