Sheraton La Jolla Hotel

Sheraton La Jolla Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I checked in very late, after traveling all day. The young man at the front desk was so kind and helpful. I was too tired to stop and get food, asked him about Door Dash delivery, knowing a key card was needed to navigate through the property. He was gracious enough to bring the delivered food to my room. Considering I was traveling alone, physically and mentally exhausted, this small gesture was a blessing. The room was excellent, bathroom very clean and the amenities included were wonderful; even the view of the parking lot was nice because of the beautiful trees and flora on the grounds. The room temperature was easy to manage, lots of room space for my multiple suitcases, and I felt safe seeing a security guard monitoring the lot and surrounding areas at night. A raised table/desk was a welcome surprise. I didn't utilize room service or onsite amenities. Any staff I encountered were polite and helpful. The parking, which can be a challenge for properties with free parking, but there was always plenty of spaces to choose from, even late at night. After staying at a hotel in the Bay Area 2 weeks prior and experiencing one disappointment after another, this stay prompted me to revisit my hotel loyalty. I travel frequently and am pleased to see hotels like this are still affordable. I will book here again, and will spend more for a Sheraton property in the future. Thank you for your hospitality!"
