Sheraton La Jolla Hotel

8/10 Good

"Na"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites La Jolla – Windansea Beach by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This place was quite lovely. Our room was fairly spacious, especially as we had 5 people in it. The kids loved the pool, there was a small laundry that came in very handy, the buffet breakfast was lovely and made our morning much easier without having to find something to eat first thing. We arrived earlier than check-in and the staff were super helpful and allowed us to swim while we waited."

Pantai Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. I would go back again. The location is steps away from the ocean. Nice to take a morning walk along the coast and in the evenings to view the beautiful sunsets. Walkable to the town. The staff was excellent and very accommodating. The free breakfasts were very good with many selections."

La Valencia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great room - nice views and really quaint hotel ! We loved our stay!"

Grande Colonial Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My room was clean, spacious, and quiet. The location is prime with easy access to the beach, restaurants and all the attractions around the area. I had a great experience and will definitely go back."

The Sands of La Jolla

8/10 Good

"The location is awesome, super convenient access to everything. It served the purpose we needed, (mainly to sleep). We were switched from a room with a balcony to a ground floor unit which was not ideal. The room had really poor ventilation and left all our belongings feeling somewhat damp. We also informed the staff that our room phone was not working shortly after arriving and despite being told they’d come check it out, it was never fixed. The office was closed until 8am and we ran out of toilet paper so we had to go to cvs and buy our own."

Hotel La Jolla, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great location with super friendly staff. We really enjoyed our stay."

Cormorant Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very good location"
