Beautiful
Pros:

It was spectacular. Exactly what you would expect for a quiet getaway. Staff was great, vibrant, and extremely accommodating. Even had a late night therapy session with Jess V when I was having a panic attack:)

It’s just a motel not boutique hotel
Pros:

This is not a boutique hotel—it’s an inn pretending to be a boutique hotel. The sheets are synthetic, the bed is peeling in many places, and the mattress has seen better days.

There’s no proper air conditioning, only a noisy window hose unit. In the morning I discovered that the shower also doesn’t work well, and I couldn’t even shower.

In my opinion, this hotel deserves one star at most—if that.

Can we do you a favor letting you stay here while keeping your belongings ?
Pros:

The room I was assigned initially was next to the restaurant and the window looked out to a table in the restaurant , I changed rooms but it was directly beneath the restaurant and they shuffled tables and chairs about until midnight, on top of really hard pillows , sleep was non-existent.
After checking out I realized I had left my phone charger and water bottle in my room;
The front desk staff was completely disinterested in retrieving my items and I left without them being returned to me. The attitude was remarkable dismissive and smug. Very dissatisfied for the price.

Terrible experience
Pros:

Terrible experience. Rented room 101 and could not sleep at all due to noise above from the market place so I am checking out one night early so I can get some sleep some place else and this was a very important trip with my daughter to celebrate her getting into UCSD. This really ruined our trip and we are both tired from no sleep. Do not let them give you Room 101

Our Go-To La Jolla Hotel. 3rd year. Wins every time
Pros:

Best location in La Jolla. Balcony ocean views, rooftop bar/restaurant, and the beach is an easy walk. Food is everywhere — dinner across the street, rooftop at Cody’s, gelato 60 seconds away, and brunch next door. Third year in a row staying here for our annual trip.

Great downtown La Jolla location
Pros:

Great location for downtown La Jolla. Bathroom and room very modern and included a desk. Coffee and refrig in the room, microwave available near lobby. Lighting was good.

Cons:

Could be noisy in the summer and weekends as the first floor rooms are right on the street. Even upper floors might be since all rooms face the street. The AC unit was very noisy. Parking is expensive, but they bring the car whenever you want it. No idea where they parked the car! Means you are tipping frequently

Pros:

Le personnel est très agréable. Le service parking appréciable Evidemment, la situation tout au bord de l'eau. Et au centre de la Jolla C'est parfait

Cons:

Il n'y a pas de petit déjeuner disponible J'étais au rez de chaussée il y a beaucoup de bruit dans le couloir. Et également sur la rue.

J'ai demandé une facture que je n'ai toujours pas reçue et j'en ai besoin pour la justifier auprès de ma comptabilité professionnelle.
