Conceded
Pros:

I am a titanium member of the Bonvoy program and travel weekly all over the country. Using that as a reference I will share that the staff here is fairly conceded/snobby. I get that it’s La Jolla, but I live in La Jolla..so I was not impressed. This place is fine for business but I would look elsewhere if I were booking for vacation. The customer service is not it. Plus $50 a night for parking is a little steep.

Great experience
Pros:

Marriott La Jolla exemplifies the high quality of Marriott properties. You are welcomed by a friendly and super helpful front desk staff. Through my week of stay, thank you to Angel at the M lounge, for taking care of all of us with a smile, even at such early morning hours. And to the housekeeping staff, thank you for adjusting to my schedule to service my room. After a long day of work, it was so nice coming back to a fresh and clean room! I will definitely stay here the next time I am back in town!

Convenient location yet bad location
Pros:

Work brought me here, that’s the only reason I stayed.
The property feels old and poorly maintained. Dusty hallways, dark lighting, and a constant chill made the entire place feel unwelcoming. the hotel was busy, yet it felt like a ghost town. There was movement everywhere, but somehow it still felt lonely and disconnected.
The staff seemed overwhelmed and understaffed, which showed in the rushed atmosphere. Everything felt cramped, tired, and past its prime.
Overall, it was a cold, dark, and uncomfortable stay. Not somewhere I would choose to return to unless absolutely necessary.

Old and unkept
Pros:

I was here years ago. Came back with the promise of a renovation. Was told by everyone that it is in progress. I’m not sure where they’ve started as this place is extremely run down and dusty. Tear it down and start over. People are nice but nothing above and beyond. The people seem tired. I guess the building is rubbing off on them. Not worth what I spent and not worth coming back. Renter beware.

Strange check in
Pros:

I stayed here in the past and did not have any complaints. This time around was weird. While checking in, I inquired about a late check out. The woman kept telling me to check in the morning to see what they can do for me. She said that she doesn’t know how checks outs work since she only works nights. I took her response as a preemptive no. I don’t know what asking in the morning would have changed. It was quite a peculiar interaction. I kept thinking about it but didn’t want to make a big deal. Just thought I’d share my experience.
