I wouldn’t book here again.
Pros:

The Koi pond was beautiful! La Jolla is a nice area!

Cons:

The shower floor was dingy, dirty, and not cleaned well. The executive room had worn down chairs that were peeling and dirty.

Pulizia

Cons:

È un po’ fatto ad alveare, sicuramente organizzato per gestire tanta gente ma la struttura e la densità delle stanze sui piani non mi hanno fatto impazzire

I loved that everything was inside the building, which made it feel safer while traveling with kids.
Pros:

The breakfast was great! The location was perfect for all the places we visited. The koi pond was an amazing surprise for the kids.

Cons:

The pool looked bigger in the website pictures and it was very humid in the pool room.

A complacent hotel
Pros:

In the Great Gatsby, the narrator, Nick Carraway, tells the reader about Tom Buchanan, whose life peaked at 21 as an American Footballer, his life then fading away. This hotel is a bit like Buchanan. On the numerous times my family have stayed at this hotel, it's been good. Good rooms, good service and a good breakfast. But this time around the rooms looked tired (although I hear whispers they are being renovated later in the year), staff were disinterested (aside from those cleaning the rooms and at breakfast, who were excellent). Service levels were abysmal and seemingly, rules were inconsistently applied. I have always had reservations about the safety of these hotels, with the each floor having a circular balcony with a huge atrium dominating the building. On this holiday, a group of unsupervised young soccer players were behaving very badly, including throwing a shoe from around the 8th floor down towards those sitting in the atrium. The General Manager did not react decisively enough and the behaviour continued.

I like this hotel but it needs to up its game, otherwise, like Buchanan, it will fade away.

Comfortable bed, but unfriendly front desk service and noticeably worn furnishings.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable, and the room itself was reasonably spacious.

Cons:

The biggest issue was the attitude of the front desk staff. Some interactions felt unnecessarily unfriendly and unwelcoming. When I asked questions, the response sometimes made me feel as though I was creating a problem rather than simply asking for assistance.

There was also an unnecessarily long back-and-forth regarding my ID, which made the check-in experience more frustrating than it needed to be.

In addition, some of the room furnishings are showing their age. For example, parts of the sofa were peeling and visibly worn or discolored. The room was still usable, but certain furnishings could definitely use an update.
