This place is like an ancient apartment complex. Our door had been kicked in and screwed back together, and poorly (room 366). We asked for it to be fixed and they asked, “Why, are you scared?” They were already aware of damage, but the repairman never showed. The a/c unit was hanging out of the wall and you could see...

Pros: First of all, this place is very reasonably priced for La Jolla. And it is just a couple blocks from the ocean. We had a first floor suite next to the road and the room was updated, spacious and comfortable. Cons: Zero water pressure - basically a trickle. And if you want a hot shower, you might be out...

Thank you for choosing Holiday Inn Express La Jolla during your recent visit. We are happy that you enjoyed the accommodations, location and value. I am so sorry the shower and light did work the way we promised. Each of our showers is equipped with a temperature limiting device which reduces the risk of scalding. When they fail, the pressure...

I just spent one night here. The room was lovely... I think. I could barely see it! The windows faced the interior stairwell/entrance, so with the blinds open anyone standing there was basically in my room. Even so, with the blinds open, it was dark. I had to open the room door to get light and good air into the... More

We were in town to see the golf tournament at Torrey Pines. We knew we wouldn't be spending much time in the room making lower price and location our main critera for selecting a hotel. It was a great choice. Comfortable beds, free parking with plenty of parking spots, free internet, free hot breakfast, kitchenette, good TV channels. An added... More

We arrived in the early afternoon and were greeted by Juanita, who helped us select a large, quiet room for our three night stay. When we left our room the first morning, we encountered guests in a neighboring room who asked if we were awakened by a noisy marital spat that had disturbed others in the middle of the night....

Hotel was dated. WI-FI connectivity was sporadic. When I called the front desk about poor connectivity it they suggested that I call the ISP - that's the job of the front desk, not the job of the guest. No parking near rooms, breakfast was average at best. Broken light switches. A poured concrete top on the nightstand with rough edges... More

I stayed here December 27-30, 2011. It's very close to the best beach in La Jolla, and about a 5 minute walk to local eating establishments (10-15 minutes walk will get you near the center of La Jolla with loads of restaurants, shopping etc). The room was nicely appointed, and there was always a place to park which is a... More

Had wedding guests stay here. Overall mediocre reviews from the entire family. One pair of guests stayed elsewhere due to ?mold? issues. General manager Susan Knapp is great. The hotel IS within walking distance of the best beach in La Jolla / San Diego but culinary options are limited unless you have a car. Cautiously recommended. More

Thank you for the recommendation. I’ve recently taken over for Susan, and from what I understand she is terrific. I love our location near an awesome beach and close to Downtown La Jolla and all the fabulous restaurants and shopping. Best wishes for a Happy New Year! Larry P.S. We’re working hard to eliminate caution. More
