“Excellent Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed here two night last week. I booked an Ocean View Suite, the view is definitely worth the extra cash if you have it. Initially they had our reservation wrong and had us in a garden view. Luckily I had a copy of my confirmation and Will was very kind and apologetic and straightened it all out. We were put in room 338 which definitely had the best view and deck that we saw. Right on the ocean with a fantastic view of La Jolla. Room was nice and bed was very comfortable. Staff was very friendly and helpful the whole time we were there. The pool was a little on the small side but it was in the low 60's so we didn't swim. Restaurant bar was great for a drink before or after dinner and I heard the desserts were great although we didn't get a chance to try them. Breakfast at the hotel was just okay, I would recommend checking out Caroline's Seaside Cafe at the Scripps Institute or Brockton Villa instead. Walk to Osteria Romantic for a casual Italian dinner outside and definitely make reservations at The Marine Room. The Bellhop drove us there but we walked home, definitely a nice easy 10 minute walk after a fantastic dinner. Overall I would definitely recommend the hotel and area and hopefully will return someday soon.

Room Tip: Request a high floor with Ocean View

“best location and beach...love it!!!!”

people found this review helpful

have been staying here for almost 8 years...and i love the beach! the hotel is tired and old but that is good and bad. the rooms are huge, you get a fridge, and did i mention the view???

staff has always been great.....parking is handy if expensive (it is the beach) and the restaurant is always amazing in the view and great in the food.

the good rates i have been getting have been disappearing but when i can afford it, i will stay here! wonderful for families because of the beach and pool etc...enjoy!

Room Tip: partial coastal view is good enough and a better deal

Beautiful setting right on the beach. The food is good. Beds are comfortable. Nice amenities. Room was a little drafty and I could hear the people next door pretty clearly but overall, The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Room Tip: Higher floors have a better view of the ocean-there are rooms that overlook a courtyard without the...

“Great location...a little "kitschy"”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

Overall good hotel, but a bit dated! The rooms are a little tired, but the great service and the bar/restaurant make up for it. THE LOCATION CAN'T BE BEAT!
We were given a garden view room, but we still had a great view of the beach and an nice size balcony.

Drinks at the bar take on a whole new meaning when looking into the ocean! Beautiful. The food is great, and the service there is personal. Can't remember the server's name, but she remembered us and all of our drink/food preferences! Nice touch.

Would stay here again.

“Located right on the La Jolla Shores Beach, but wired for business too -”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

Amazing views and right on the beach, I loved my room, the pool, the price, the wireless internet and the restaurant. I'm in La Jolla on business at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (just up the beach) and I *love* this hotel. The pool and hot tub are in a beautiful courtyard with access onto the beach, but the desk and high-speed free wireless service in my room mean that I can get my work done too. Plus, the room service and restaurant are delicious. I can't wait to bring the whole family!
