Yes but we were charged more than the final quote on Travelocity and when I asked for them to correct my bill she said it was correct what was quoted on Travelocity has incorrect taxes. Also we were one flight up from the lobby and they do not have an elevator? The staff immediately asked to help us with our bags when they saw we are in our late 70s.

Best La Jolla Location!

Location could not be better: within walking distance to multiple restaurants, cafe's, gelato etc. One of the best restaurants is the hotel's own Birdseye. Fantastic views, excellent food and drinks. Walk to the water, the coves, sea lions, shopping. Staff was superb. Only "negative" is there is traffic noise in the room but after the first night we paid no attention to it.

If you are unfortunate enough to get a room under the rooftop restaurant, you will not get any sleep whatsoever. It was so incredibly loud, even with a sound machine and earplugs. We could not fall asleep until the restaurant had closed and cleaned up for the day and woke up to the restaurant opening up.

We booked a queen room, we were given a room with a double bed. The room had no window except for onto a stairway to the deck. It was so loud until 11pm with drinking and lots of loud music and noise. The room looked like a utility closet with no space to even open a suitcase. No hanging space only a couple of drawers. They refused to refund our money and we still moved next door. Room 305 should never be rented.

Mid-August 2025

Our overall stay was fine and we would return. However, opportunities for improvement include: 1) Rooms should be cleaned daily w/o having to request it, 2) Put luggage stands in rooms, 3) TV's are too complicated and Fox News was missing, 4) Wash your windows periodically and 5) Switch from Espresso to regular coffee maker in rooms

We were put in a room next door to the rooftop bar. It was EXTREMELY loud at night . The staff woke us up with all the banging as we were next to the staff room and storage room. It was probably the worst location in the entire hotel. I'm sure we were put there because we went through Expedia. Although we were offered another room, it was tiny in comparison and we had already unpacked so we toughed it out. The cost did not reflect that and I think we should have had a discount for the inconvenience and price we paid! Staf was nice . The stairs are very public as is the bathroom right outside our room! Would not stay again.

No Elevator and several other issues

NO ELEVATOR. This is false advertising. My elderly mother had to walk stairs to the 4th floor. Terrible. Our room wasn't ready at check in time so we had to walk around for 2 hours, then the room didn't have a balcony as paid for and the TV was broken. The room was next door to a bar and it was loud.

It was ok. A bit noisy until about 2 or 3 am and then noisy again early in the morning even on a Sunday. It’s fine if you will be out until late but if you want to sleep, this is a noisy hotel. The walls are also very thin, we could hear the neighboring people’s conversation and snoring at night. It was pretty difficult to reach the front desk after I checked in, I had to walk down a few times. It wasn’t the person at the front desks fault, she was very clearly spread too thin.

Very disappointed with check in. Room wasn’t ready at 4. We had a wedding to get ready for so they gave us a temporary room to change and then when we came back they gave us our room but still wasn’t what we paid for as it didn’t have a balcony. Very poor window insulation as we could hear people yelling outside in the middle of the night from the 4th floor. Definitely not worth the $400 spent.

Stayed here for a work trip and they placed me in a room right next to the bar ( you could see in my window if you were at the bar) and the staff closet was on the other side of my room. The staff was slamming doors, throwing around cleaning supplies, and screaming / singing until 12 am when I finally called and complained. The bar closed at 10. I wasn’t going to make a deal out of this but when I got into my room, there were used towels on my counter. Overall, worst experience I have had in San Diego. Do not consider if you want decent sleep.

Great location. Service hit or complete miss! Caut

Location can’t be beat! Walking distance to many restaurants and things to do in La Jolla. The cove, sea lions, pelicans and the beautiful beaches. The room was ok. Clean, a bit outdated, nice little balcony. Upstairs restaurant with ocean view is great ( but food only ok. Fries mheh) worst part is front desk is often closed and no one is ever there. People that are there are usually pretty good but it’s a little hit and miss. Some people don’t really understand how to check you in or follow the process. Others are super nice. We waited for a very long time for valet. Service at the hotel was very mediocre. That’s the worst part about this place service is not so great. Service at the restaurant was also not so great. Big attitude. We asked for milk for the coffee and they scowled and told us to go to the market to buy some milk. Can you give me some milk for coffee and he said no! You can go to the market. What? I paid $250 for one night in a hotel and he couldn’t ask somebody to go get me a little bit of milk to put in my coffee in the morning? I think the managers are investors has spent a lot on the properties. They should really spend a little bit more on the people who are staffed at the hotel to get better service.
