Book a hotel near Birch Aquarium, La Jolla Shores

"The room seemed to have recently installed carpet that was very poorly done with lumps, ridges and frayed edges where it meets tile. the new carpet smell was too much. Upon arrival an industrial fan was blowing on the hallway carpet near this room so wondering if there had been a flood recently. Just really unpleasant to come to the room each time."

"The location was okay, the property was turning off the water throughout the day which I was not notified prior to my stay. There was free coffee in the lobby."

"Didn't stay. The place was beyond horrible And should be shutdown. "

"A couple of days before my departure, I noticed a foul smell coming from the bathroom sink. I reported it to the front desk. I was told that the engineering staff would address the problem; whether they did, the stench did not go away. When I checked in, I was told that there were various discount packages for food consumed at the hotel. The pricing of those packages was anything but transparent. The receptionist offered to email me a sample menu, which she thought might shed some light on the discounts being offered. I never received it. The hotel is labyrinthine. The designer or designers should have never been allowed to practice architecture. The carpets inside my room and on the hallways were dirty. As a saying in German has it, I stayed at the Estancia La Jolla three times: the first time, the last time, and one time too many."

"Wonderful hotel and location. Beautiful lobby and great views from the top floor bar/restaurant. We would definitely stay here again."

"Parking was awful! You pay $30 a day to park and its very liimted. Very little hadicap parking as well. Booked here online , paid for a garden lower level, remarked handicap and service dog. Got 2nd level. Food was SO average, skip the Thai Tacos! Club sandwich good. The best part was location and beautiful gardens and pool and hot tub. would not stay again. "
