We stayed here for one night the night before our cruise. It was great! The best part was the free breakfast downstairs in the morning. I will definitely go there again. I paid $60 for the room on priceline. I will definitely go there again!

We arrived at this hotel when our receptionist at the Residence Inn at La Jolla Dr. did not honor our reservation when he claimed that our reservation had been made using the Marriott chain, and Marriott was 'not a sister hotel'. We had checked out of a Vegas hotel of the same chain and did a phone check-in during the day at La Jolla, expecting the keys at 4.00am! We craftily asked the rude guy at The Residence Inn whether we could check 'something on the computer', and we quickly booked our room at the Country Inn. We drove to the Country Inn, and a world of difference unravelled before our eyes! Ryan, the front desk staff was sympathetic to our plight, and promised to have a cleaning staff to prepare the first available room (it had been sold out) once the first guest checked out. 5 minutes later, a room had been found after a guest checked out early, and in we went. I have been to many hotels, and I try to leave positive reviews where I can; the staff at Country Inn and Suites were excellent! They went out of their way to make sure that we were comfortable and had a room to sleep, despite our last-minute booking! The room was nice, the breakfast had a lot of variety. It was very family oriented, lots of small kids around at breakfast, a good thing if families (the pettiest of them all) can make bookings here! It was fully booked, meaning that they were doing something right. It had internet in the rooms, and a free computer downstairs. It had a wonderful lobby, a pool, etc. You probably need a car, as it is 15-20 minutes away from downtown ( I saw a shuttle service van, so please ask), but it is about 3-4 minutes from the I-805 freeway. The lady at the reception Sunday night allowed me to make a phone call when she realized that my cell-phone was out of charge, which I considered out of the ordinary! I could go on and on, but my International Rugby Sevens experience became so much nicer after the fantabulous service from Ryan and Co!

Was good value for money, cheaper than all the other suite hotels in the area. I liked the king bed suite, enough space for two parents, one toddler and one baby. Not completely new but ok.

They didnt clean the first day, ok, I was only two hours away, maybe they missed this time gap. But the didnt clean the second day either, where we were away for 6 hours. My husband talked to the cleaning ladies and they said, well, there was so many stuff laying on the floor. Hello? Of course, my little son leaves his toys on the floor. And we have two strollers. And a lot of stuff traveling with two little ones. Is this a reason for not cleaning the room? At least they could have changed the towels.

Then my husband complained at the reception and they were very sorry and offered a free dinner for the whole family or extra goldpoints. We took the goldpoints and figured it a good compensation.

The breakfast was good for the price of the hotel, really good orange juice, waffles, scrambled eggs and so on.

The airconditioning is very good which I liked espacially, since fresh air is very important to me and you cant open the windows in this hotel.

At the right price I would return!

I had to go to a job fair and a convention in San Deigo so I booked this hotel last minute and what a nice surprise
1. Handicap Accessable Room- I have requested that through Expedia for my mom who needs a wheelin shower rather than the usualy bathtub, when I checked in they gladly checked me in the room I needed eventhough Expedia didnt notify them.
2. Room- was very nice and clean , the tv is quite old and not many channels but the room and bed was very comfortable
3. breakfast- the breakfast was amazing: Potatoes, bacon, scrambled eggs, yogurt, 4 different kind of cereal, toast, bagels, muffins, and a place where u can make your own waffles, also fruit and juices. You can never go wrong with the breakfast they have, simply amazing, and you can also read the complimentary newspaper or sit in an area with a flat screen tv and watch while you are eating
4. Parking - there was plenty of parking and also there was handicap parking for people who needed it for wheelchairs, Ryan at the reception was so nice and accomodating he even called the first night to check if everything is ok
5. Distance - it is a good 15 minutes dricing to downtown, but very nice area and one exit from La Jolla village, I definetely recommend it to anyone in town, if I am ever back in town I will come back again :)
