“Super Fun Atmosphere and Friendly!”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW

If you are traveling in this area, hands down, this is the place to stay! Even though the hotel is an older hotel that has been remodeled, the rooms look brand new! Loved the style! The lobby and pool area had a very nice vibe and all the staff was super friendly and the valet guys were always willing to... More

“Pleasant property and staff”

Reviewed 12 May 2013 NEW

On a short business trip, my first time at this hotel, my stay has turned out nicely. The staff could not have been more pleasant. Everyone I encountered was friendly and helpful. I was given a corner room on the 6th floor, a welcome upgrade on checkin. I can see the water just over the trees looking to the West.... More

“Hotel La Jolla Made Our Trip Special!”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

My boyfriend and I took a trip to La Jolla to see a play at UCSD. The location of the hotel to the school campus was perfect - just a quick 5 min drive away. The staff at the hotel couldn't have been friendlier. We brought our 50lb Siberian Husky with us and couldn't have felt more welcome - usually... More

Dear jessik67, Thanks so much for taking time to write this raving review! I must say I laughed when you mentioned the pet tolerance of other hotel companies as I often refer to their "friendliness" in that exact manner. I'm so happy your pooch felt the love, our team just can't get enough of our furry guests (pets that is,... More

My husband and I are on our 3rd night here at Hotel La Jolla, sitting in the outside lounge area ("Hiatus") and cannot stop talking about how wonderful our experience at this hotel has been that we were inspired to write a review. If you opt for an ocean view room on a higher floor, you'll be so pleased with... More

“noisy and understaffed”

Reviewed 25 April 2013

Slamming doors, moving furniture, children bouncing on beds above is all due to paper thin walls. Do not stay here unless you bring ear plugs! Doors do not have automatic door closers. Hotel is also located between two very busy streets but close to UCSD. Also, hotel is under staffed at late hours. Room service does not answer because the... More

carmen k, Ouch, this review feels like I've just ripped a bandaid off of my arm. I really appreciate your candid feedback and can assure you that this will be used as a training opportunity for our team. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. All my best, Shannon Foster More

“Made to feel special”

I recently stayed at Hotel La Jolla for 3 days on business. The level of personal service I received was exceptional. Upon each time I arrived and left the hotel I received a friendly greeting and was asked if I needed anything. The room was spacious and very clean. The "wine time" was great and the outdoor bar area was... More

Awe...Jeff M, you are pretty special, you're actually my favorite guest today! We think our team is pretty amazing here and it is such an honor when we hear it from our guests, so thank you! I'm so happy you loved our "wine time", we are trying to mix things up a bit so hopefully you were able to enjoy... More

Reviewed 24 April 2013

Was in LaJolla Apr-12-15 for a wedding. Several guests and wedding party members stayed here (one couple with their dog) and we all were pleased with the professional and friendly service, from the front desk people to the valets. Would call it a boutique hotel and plan to stay there this summer again when I visit LaJolla. Shuttle to downtown... More

Bestpals, thanks for the great review! It's so great to see you had such a lovely visit. Don't forget; dogs, cats, monkeys, lizards, frogs, fish, etc....these are all welcome so don't forget to bring the animal of your choice back when you come to visit. Or, you could just channel your inner animal by throw on a leopard or zebra... More

“Take in the”

Reviewed 18 April 2013

I had a few days off between conferences for work so I flew to San Diego from the snow in NYC. Ended up here because both Kimpton hotels in San Diego were either booked or the price per night was outrageous (as were all hotels near the Gaslamp District because of a convention) but I'm so happy I came. As... More

“Average stay, would work for business travelers.”

Reviewed 17 April 2013 via mobile

Location was not the best for vacationers as you are right next to the highways. However if you are here for business it might work as you are close to the main arteries. Rooms were very average, can see the attempt to modernize the design. However the fact that you can hear the traffic despite having the blinds closed really... More

Nicky M, Yikes...it sounds like we need to turn up the music at the pool and block you on the north side of the property for future visits. We like to think we are in a pretty great location, close to the beach, just a quick shuttle ride to the village but not down there with all of the traffic.... More

“Cute hotel”

Reviewed 16 April 2013

Hotel has been renovated and the rooms have nice decor. They were very accommodating when I asked to switch to a room further away from the side with the heavier traffic noise. Good views from upper floors. We paid $40 extra to have the view and were glad that we did. Excellent food and service and views from their restaurant... More

KarenGinSD, I catch myself looking for any reason to "inspect" the guestrooms and restaurant just so I can enjoy the stunning views, I can never get enough. I'm so happy you chose us and that you had such a great visit. I hope we get to welcome you back soon. Cheers! Shannon More
