Couple travelling without kids Nov 2023. Stayed 2 nights. The room was spacious, clean, and everything worked. The bed was great. Nice towels, sheets, robes. Breakfast is not good, honestly I have had better at Holiday Inn Express. Apparently the restaurant in the hotel is a great old school Italian steak house, it was packed every night. But we are elsewhere. La Jolla is spendy and we are more interested in simple fare. Location is the real star here. It's right in the heart of La Jolla cove. Beach, food, shopping, sights all very close by. Walking distance to so many coffee shops,. restaurants, and everything. I'd stay again. Just don't count on breakfast at the hotel.

Great hotel but I would not book online. We reserved online direct because it had a slightly better price with a 25% off special. Unfortunately after I reserved I never received a confirmation. I called the hotel to confirm my reservation and ask that the confirmation be sent, but I never received the email. When I arrived the total price was higher than I had remembered booking. The front desk staff told me there was a $50 hold for incidentals. I asked if all the charges/tax were included in that total they said yes. We were tired and I couldn't pull up any confirmation so I just accepted it and gave my card. When we checked out, the total statement was another $150 higher than when I checked in. It looked like the room rate was higher than what I had reserved. The front desk person was very nice but couldn't do much to help. I regret not just prepaying through a booking site that has up front pricing. Other than the issue with the bill, the hotel was a great location. It is located right in the heart of downtown La Jolla with plenty to walk to. Beaches, restaurants, and other attractions were all a short walk away. The rooms were a little dated but adequate. The included breakfast was ok, mostly microwaved egg dishes, make your own waffle station, and cereal/oatmeal. There is no pool on the property, however they do charge a daily resort fee above the nightly rate.

My wife and I have done a staycation at this hotel twice now. Each time the service is impeccable and the rooms are clean. You can’t beat the location and the piano bar is terrific. The only suggestion I have for the piano player is that he place a QR code nearby so people can tip him by Vemo/Zelle. He’s fun and talented. This time we were particularly impressed by the front desk reception that we received from Roy. He was friendly, genuine, and informative. The front desk usually helps set the tone for the experience you can expect, and Roy was a nice way to start our visit.
