Nice stay aside from the broken elevator. It was also unfortunate only able to recover $30% of my security deposit. Supposedly there’s a $42 parking fee and a destination fee that isn’t mentioned at check in or the Expedia app during booking. There should be more transparency and no excuse for surprise fees from a billion dollar hotel conglomerate.

Poorly managed and mediocre at best. Poor staffing, no security and one operational elevator. We were told by staff that second elevator has been disfunctional for over a year! Shame on Expedia for not letting customers know.

Safety and Security and Other Issues

While to hotel could use some updating it was a comfortable place to stay. A few issues, the first of which was major: 1. Housekeeping left our door open all day after cleaning one day. We did not get back until the evening, and our door was ajar. I addressed the issue with the Hotel Manager and she said she would look into it and get back to me, that never happened. This is a major security and safety issue that should be a major red flag to anyone looking to stay at this property. 2. There was supposed to be a Fourth of July party from 11 to 7 in the pool area with food at some point. The bar was rarely staffed and no food had been put out all day, at least until we left just before 6. The front desk kept saying they would look into it but it was the restaurant's responsibility. 3. Service at the rooftop restaurant was very poor the first night, but we had outstanding service for breakfasts!

Beautiful Room View

Everything was fine with check in and there was plenty of parking. Walk to the beach was nice as well. My daughter and I entered the room and right away went to look at the ocean view, it was beautiful! The bathroom though was a little hazardous and dirty. There was a screw in the shower stall and nails on the bathroom counter under a towel. There were blemish patches left on a bathroom shelf from a previous occupant.

Review of Hotel La Jolla

This hotel was good. We enjoyed our one night here, although only having one elevator working was a downside as we had to wait 10-15 min on an occasion due to renovations. Other then that we enjoyed our stay.

The ocean view from the restaurant was beautiful. The elevator situation needs to be fixed. The hotel only had one elevator that was working for eleven floors. We had to take the stairs several times because the elevator was taking so long.

Lovely - but only 1 elevator works

Our stay was nice. We really love it here, but will not be staying here again until both of the elevators are fixed. The hotel is between owners right now and I was advised this is why the broken elevator will not be fixed anytime soon. I think it's clever though there is a poster at every elevator advising the guest to "Your Wellness Journey Starts Here" aka "Take the stairs." LOL It's really sad to see the toll it takes on the staff as well. :(

Excellent view of the ocean and balcony! The food at Sea & Sky is excellent too! The bed was like a cloud of comfort. The view, the food, the bed were all superb! There was only one elevator and the AC didnt work. But who needs AC when you have the ocean air. Loved the room and the property. There is something special about this property/hoel.
