Good location, nice hotel, very friendly and helpful service at check-in. The downside was a lack of strong A/C in our room. It was hot outside and the room air was not turned on at arrival, and it took hours to cool down. By late evening, we had to ask for a fan because our room was still too warm. They did provide one but it was a puzzling situation. On the plus side, La Jolla was fun! Enjoyed a morning jog along the ocean path, saw seals and dolphins, a beautiful sunset, and had an awesome time hiking at Torrey Pines Nature Reserve!

Liked: Cleanliness
I do not believe that this is or should be rated a 9.2 - very view amenities - rooms not cleaned everyday and even when they were it took me 3 asks to get some soap, ice buckets were never emptied. Staff was not very helpful when asked questions about the area and directions etc. Very long walk to the beach uphill and downhill

Not up to par
I stay here 30-40 nights a year but this last experience has made me reconsider if I will continue. My status from Expedia was not recognized this trip. I stayed at another hotel the next night and was immediately upgraded.

Just OK.
The hotel is a sold 6 out of 10. Clean and comfortable, but pretty economy in details and furnishings. The woman who checked us in was just horrible. We purchased three rooms, one for us and one each for our adult children. We specifically asked that we be given the highest floor available. She told her she had, but then checked in my son and gave him the higher floor. When I laid her told her that was inconsiderate, she just laughed it off and said she never actually checked.

Weekend trip. Hotel is OK - close to everything downtown. Rooms and facility a bit dated, slow elevators, no restaurant, $20/night parking fee is a money-grab
