Great stay
Pros:

I love the stay here. There are many options in the La Jolla/ San Diego area but the small town feel of La Jolla shores coupled with the unique, quaint feel of Hotel La Jolla keeps me coming back. I enjoy the sea to sky restaurant and love that I see the same folks each time. Laila in particular is always a pleasure.

One of my favorite La Jolla spots with a fabulous view.
Pros:

Eddie at Sea and Sky made my day. Excellent service. I can’t wait to come back. I loved the beer salad and smash burger. Perfect place for brunch, lunch, happy hour or dinner.

This hotel is a gem. I enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend it and stay here again.
Pros:

The location is excellent - not too far from the airport and easy access to beaches and La Jolla. The lobby and outside patio/bar/pool area are very cool and perfectly California chic. The room was very comfortable. The ocean view was amazing.

Cons:

Probably due to the fact that hotel room doors are all exterior doors, we would get smoke smells wafting into the room periodically. The bathroom is getting to the point where it needs to be updated again or regrouted around the shower.

Stay was great, hidden fees were the issue.
Pros:

My issue was the front desk asking for a deposit for incidentals which we knew nothing about then asking if we drove and would we need a parking pass instead of disclosing there would be a parking pass fee, she did not and at the ens of the stay we were charged $45 which i am not happy about because had she told us there would be a $45 fee to park for one night we would have parked up the street.

Cons:

Hidden fees not disclosed up front.

Laila is the best!
Pros:

We came for coffee ☕️ and the view but ended up staying for over an hour thanks to Laila (our waitress). She was great, and recommended a few breakfast dishes (Huevos con chorizo & Shashukka sp? 😂). Both were excellent, our compliments to the chef. We will c u again Laila.
