Cons:

They didn't book me into a two bed room, and I was traveling with my elder teenage son for an athletic event, and so he had to sleep on a rollaway that was very uncomfortable. The whole reason I booked this hotel was because of the two bed option. Also hotel bar closed before 10pm the Saturday night, and I couldn't get a drink... Had to use street parking to avoid the $40+ daily parking too..

Enjoyed our stay a lot
Pros:

We arrived late from the east cost and check in was a breeze. Our room was comfortable and clean. Sheets super soft. Yes the room is slightly dated but well maintained. Location is excellent near several restaurants and mall. The Starbucks barista is so accommodating and friendly . And they have moved the shampoo and shower gel lower making it easy to reach when taking a bath. They have a Hertz rental car on sight. I would not hesitate to stay here again. A wonderful experience.

Great Service from the Valets!
Pros:

We had a great stay at the Marriott in La Jolla. Aaron and John went above and beyond. Aaron helped us when we returned and we told him we would be headed out to the beach later in the day, so he had our vehicle parked ho front and ready and was kind enough to give us directions to a local beach! We appreciate it!

Five Star Service
Pros:

We were weary travelers due to delays at the airport but thanks to the lovely staff at the Marriott in La Jolla we were able to check in a few hours early and enjoy their comfy beds for a much needed nap. As if that kind gesture was not enough we enjoyed a night cap at the lobby bar (after indulging in daytime shenanigans in La Jolla) The frosty mug coupled with a ice cold beer and savory burger hit the spot. The morning was not started until the wonderful staff at the lobby Starbucks poured some quality Joe. We truly enjoyed our stay at this Marriott so much so that I forgot to pack my coveted University of Arizona basketball shorts! My tensions were eased with the above and beyond professionalism of the phone operator(I do not recall your name but you are a Gem), Lizbeth Abad and Richard Uribe in housekeeping who were able to FedEx my shorts within days! I’m truly grateful for this amazing staff and in today’s world of Airbnb’s and other entities of the sort I have decided to sign up for Marriott Bonvoy!
Safe travels Y’all

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.
