I've stayed at quite a few Marriott properties while on business travel and none have been as busy--or too busy to care--as La Jolla's Residence Inn. The massive residence was booked full almost every night, the parking lots and driveways could NOT have been "to code" as it was always quite a task to maneuver through these sites (in some... more

Hubby and I decided to take a mini vacation and hit the San Diego area. We made plans to visit the San Diego Wild Animal Park and wanted to stay in a location that was close to the park, close to the water and was a Marriott facility so I could use my points. Likes: 1. The room is like... more

We stayed in the 2 bedroom 2 bathroom loft. It was excellent. newly refurbished, spotlessly clean, log fire and excellent breakfast. The location is close to bars and restaurants and there is also a delivery service from some restaurants. Close to San Diego and La Jolla. An excellent choice! more

We spent 5 nights at the residence inn. The room was large, clean, great kitchen, comfortable bed, pull out sofa as expected. no dining area but that was ok. Breakfast was very busy (holiday season) and included both hot and cold items. Something for everyone. We were very impressed with the service and staff. We asked for a few items... more

We're Gold members & booked 8 nights here on points starting Dec 27. Called to ask the cost of upgrading from studio to penthouse suite (their only other room option). This property's "penthouse suites" aren't part of the points program so we can't even pay the difference in value. To book a penthouse, we have to forgo using points altogether... more

Went to San Diego Zoo and had a blast. This place is ideally located between the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park. It is about 3 miles from downtown La Jolla, but easy to reach by car. I was only disappointed that there was a kitchen but no dining table. We didn't eat in the hotel so didn't matter... more

Fabulous!

This is a fabulous hotel! The rooms are spacious and clean (newly renovated). The hotel was really crowded (with sports teams) but the staff was extremely professional and always took care of our needs. Great service! The grounds were well kept and clean as well. Breakfast was so crowded that we had to take our food "to go" and eat... more

Great place to stay while visiting San Diego/La Jolla area. Excellent full breakfast bar included, saved money on breakfasts & lunches! Nice outdoor pool and hot tub and rooms were recently remodeled. Very nice homey/private feel to them! more

I stayed in a 2 bedroom 2 bath penthouse family suite. The property was recently renovated and the room looks brand new. We are very happy with the room furnishings. As pointed out in another review, there are no doors to the lower sleeping area and noise spreads easily throughout the suite making it difficult to sleep when others are... more

Okay, so everyone knows that La Jolla is expensive. I was there this past weekend for a wedding. Most of the guests were staying at the La Jolla Shores ($309 a night) As other reviewers have noted, and my friends confirmed you are paying for location and the rooms are marginal at best. Since I wasn't planning any beach time,... more
