This is a decent hotel with simple, but nice rooms and friendly staff. The hotel is in a great location- just steps from all of the restaurants of la Jolla and a block or two from the beach. Our only complaint is that the hotel is right next to a construction site. We stayed here for a few nights and... More

This Best Western is probably the best hotel for its price in La Jolla. The room rates are very reasonable, especially given its location right in the heart of La Jolla, within blocks of the beach and all of the most desirable eating and shopping areas. The rooms are simple, but perfectly nice and with cute seaside-themed decor. Many of... More

If my wife and I had been looking for a luxurious hotel experience we'd have stayed at La Valencia. However, our plan was to spend time everywhere but the hotel except to sleep so we looked for a hotel that met only two criteria: 1) it had to be in the Village of La Jolla within a short walk to...

Another reviewer mentioned that the rooms were refurbished....when....1980? We have stayed at many BWs and I can tell you that this property was a big disappointment. We used points for one of the two nights' stay and paid for the next. We asked for a top floor and were assured we'd have one....nope! But the one thing; aside from the... More

Afterwards was surprised to see some negative comments , but then realised these are from before the total refurbishment. Concur with all the positive reviews and found hotel well run. Comfortable, rooms with balconies , best to get floor 4... More

Our guide book told us that all hotels in La Jolla were expensive, but this is one exception. Prices are mid-range, so its not a budget option, but we had a great stay - rooms are roomy, good continental breakfast,free bottled water and chocs, although no fridge or microwave, which we came to expect in California hotels. The staff were... More

Great value for location, view and proximity to the beach! Access to beach, shopping, hottest restaurants and clubs and excellent service. This was my 2nd stay and the staff remembered me and bent over backwards to accomodate all our needs. Great chocolate everyday from housekeeping staff! More

This hotel is just an average Best Western despite its great location and its expensive rates ! The rooms are standard (no fridge) but The service had really been terrible during our 3 days stay because of the front desk incompetence! I had booked two rooms 4 months in advance but they were unable to give us door to door... More

We have stayed here many times, and the hotel only gets better, The rooms are comfortable and each has a balcony. On the higher floors on the West side the rooms have a view of the ocean, The breakfast by the pool is very good, and the maid service is excellent. The reception desk is manned by very helpful people.... More
