    2nd clean bedroom with it's own bathroom
    Patricia U.

    Located right across the street from the beautiful La Jolla cliffs, large park and sea lions. The stroll along the cliffs is magnificent with an amazing view of the Pacific. Convenient stroll to many restaurants, stores and museums. Where the host placed us must've been the older section. 2 bedroom, spacious area, in desperate need of paint and flooring; had a slight musty smell in the very aged, stained checkered carpet. Kitchen takes a person back in time, metal cabinets and counter top; vintage. All the kitchen amenities needed; pots, pans, coffee machine, complimentary coffee with small individual packets of powder creamer and sugar, dishes, microwave, small fridge, stove and toaster. Bedrooms were a good size, beds comfy, pillows "well-loved" but also comfy. Slept great with the crickety glass slider open to the sound of pounding waves. We felt safe enough to do so. Speaking of safe, wish the safety latch wasn't missing screws. No tv's in the bedrooms but the living room was suffice as we were outdoors often. The couch definitely needs to be replaced, lumpy and stained. Dining table was used, wish the chairs were reupholstered. No heating but a space heater which worked perfectly since it was chilly in the evening. There were thermostats in every room but no vents to be seen. The patio area was nice with a view of the ocean, cliffs and park. Overall a good experience, would love to return when this particular room is renovated. No complaints on the pricing.

    I feel my stay deserved a 3.5* rating; I'll round up to a 4*. I attended a wedding. The reception took place on the roof of this facility. I booked a room here as a convenience. So, let me get these out of the way first: ** I was assigned a room on the fourth floor. During the wedding reception, I went to my room to change. During my time there, noise from the party emanated from the rooftop into the room. When the staff was cleaning up after the event, and the next morning when staff was setting up for the day, the reverberation of moving furniture also seeped into the room. This did not bother me; but I can see how this noise would not align with the expectations of others. ** In the shower, there were two valves: one for hot water; one for cold water. In the morning, I took a shower with both valves fully open. Somewhere, someone must have flushed a toilet. I was aware and noticed that the water was getting warmer rapidly. I got out of the way as a shot of very hot water came through. This happened three times during my shower. So, let's get on with the review ... Booking :: I booked my room via a travel aggregation website. The reception began before the official check in; the room was not ready. However, reception provided a text notification when the room became available. Check in was otherwise friendly and efficient. Parking :: If you have a vehicle, there is a daily parking fee. Location :: La Jolla Cove, Boomer Beach, Ellen Browning Scripps Park (to name a few designated spots) are right across the street. If you want proximity to the water, this is a good hotel. The hotel's location is also walkable to food and retail on Prospect Street. Hotel Room :: I will speak about the room I was assigned ... Based on the room size and floorplan, I think this portion of the hotel was designed and built in the 1960s/1970s. It is well maintained, but it is dated. Based on total square footage, the room is small; the bathroom is functional, but very small by modern standards. On the plus side: The carpet was clean. The bed was reasonably comfortable; the sheets were clean and in good condition. The towels were not plush, but they were clean. The furniture was clean. If your plan is to engage in activities and need the room as a place to simply sleep and clean up, the room I had was perfectly fine. If you are looking for a room in which to luxuriate, this room won't meet your expectations. I was chatting with my friend (father of the bride). He told me that the wedding entourage stayed in the "newer" wing of the hotel, and it was nicer; and that management was preparing to remodel the section I stayed in. But this is hearsay. Final note: The staff who hosted the reception were top notch.

    This is how dirty the bathroom was when we walked in.

    Buyer BEWARE!!!! The new building, called the Pines, where I paid thousands of dollars to stay, looks good in pictures, but is VERY DIRTY!!!! This is hands down the worst experience I've ever had. Not only do they keep you from knowing there will be a wedding that plays loud DJ music until 10 pm, but they also have no reason for why no disclaimer when you book a room that costs almost $700 a night. I had a half marathon to run on Saturday, and I only had 2 hours of sleep. With loud music, I partied until 10 pm, and then the clean-up began. Chairs and tables scraped the floors when it was all done. It was almost midnight. The worst part: the room was filthy and disgusting! It's so sad that this newly remodeled portion of the hotel is just as bad as the old and falling apart side (yet they still sell rooms on that side). We had no toilet paper or extra towels, and the place was so dirty that I had to clean it myself. Stay away from this place! You'll waste your money like I did and not get any sleep because they have weddings every night! It's like sleeping under a nightclub! And the worst part, they won't even warn you. To the owner of this hotel (or should I call it a motel?), shame on you for keeping some essential information from someone about to spend $2,000 on a two-night stay in your supposed nice hotel. You should tell people to stay at their own risk! Risk of not getting any sleep. And the least you can do is keep your rooms clean and ensure things like light switches are not falling off the wall. To the manager who commented, they are also of the inside! Don't use this hotel they don't care and I'll be posting this review on every platform available including Google! I'll also be calling the corporate office!

    Great location in La Jolla, very outdated hotel in need of complete renovation. They do have a renovated side, but we paid $200/night for... crap. Super small, musty room, tiny bathroom (you can brush your teeth in the sink while sitting on the toilet), bathroom door wouldn't even close due to warping and horrible paint job, extremely slow elevator, closet so small clothes can't hang horizontally, shower temperature changes randomly, no mini fridge... definitely not worth the price. They did offer us an opportunity to upgrade to the renovated side for an extra $50, which probably would have been worth it. However, our room was way overpriced. 5th floor rooftop does have a great view. Basically, if you stay here, book the renovated side. Also, Parakeet cafe by the lobby is very cute and has good coffee!

    Nice night at La Jolla Cove suites!

    Had a wonderful night! The room was wonderful! I want to send a big thanks to Sergio and Roberto at the front desk! They were so kind and accommodating! The room was beautiful and had amazing views! Definitely recommend this location!

    Dirty rug and door track

    I have to agree with other reviewers. This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. We purchase two nights because we were there for a wedding. The wedding was beautiful, on the rooftop. But let me tell you about the room. We paid over five hundred dollars a night . The room was old , rusty. My brother in law also stayed there and they had a room that wasn't "refurbished". I hate to see what it looked like! The shower rained cold water, then hot, then cold, then hot and you didn't even have to touch the faucet. No hair dryer, no hangers, an iron but no ironing board. The furniture was cheap and big chips on it. I checked on the hotel price and it was $298.00 a night for the exact nights we stayed. But we had the Wedding Group rate! My advice, don't wast your money. You could stay just about anywhere for this price in a nice room!

    The roach

    Paid $290 for one night in a king room plus $27 for parking, and it was a huge letdown. Floor was visibly dirty, found a small cockroach in the bathroom, and noise was constant -- guests running and yelling past midnight, a late-night fire alarm that took forever to turn off, and loud maintenance by 6 AM. Barely slept, and the front desk didn't seem to care when I checked out. Great location, but not worth the money or the hassle. Really disappointed as we drove all the way from Vegas to enjoy a romantic getaway.

    We were happy with the view of the ocean from the room, but the beds were uncomfortable and noisy. The shower was absolutely awful, the water pressure was low and the shower temperature would get super hot then super cold. The balcony door was hard to open. If ur looking for a budget friendly stay, then ig it's ok. But just go spend extra money at Marriott or Hilton. This place is not worth the stay. Very disappointing. The room had stains and scratches from previous guest everywhere u looked. ALSO bring something to get rid of the awful smell in the rooms.

    The pink building is the main hotel. This is shot outside the terrace suite. Our "ocean view" the room came with.

    We came to La Jolla for a wedding, which was taking place on the roof of the hotel. The rooms were pricy so we ended up going for the Terrace Oceanview Queen Studio. I knew the room wouldn't be one of the fancy newly renovated rooms, but I had no idea how bad it would be. Additionally, there was no warning online that we were booking a room in an entirely different building that was situated up on a hill that was accessible by a massive staircase that was, frankly, dangerous. The stairs were very skinny and slick, especially since everything is damp so close to the beach. I fell hard once and then became extremely nervous to take the stairs again. Their marketing team deserves a raise because the website makes the hotel look very glamorous but the whole place is kind of gross. Our room looked like it hadn't been touched in decades. The smoke detectors were hanging from the ceiling, unplugged. The door didn't close unless you slammed it. The TV didn't work and the WiFi was mediocre at best. It had a kitchen but it was so raggedy we would have been scared to used to stove/oven. The bathroom was dingy. The bed was so worn out it had an indent and made our backs hurt. I called before we came to see if there was a couch in suite and the hotel said there would be - there wasn't. The elevator in the main hotel was sketchy to the point most of our group just took the stairs. The recently renovated rooms in the main hotel were nice, but the exterior and hallways were pretty dingy. The rooftop wedding venue was actually really nice. The staff were lovely, the wedding was beautiful, the food was great. It's a shame that the rest of the hotel kind of sucked. The location is spectacular. Just a fair warning that the sea lions are LOUD all night, and they do smell. Some people in our group had a hard time sleeping with the noise.

    Broken kitchen when we walked in.

    Absolutely horrible. I booked a 2 room suite. When we walked in cabinets were broken, mold in the bathrooms, the entire place smelled like mildew. The general manager Cody is Absolutely a horrible manager. He will gas light you and say it doesn't smell and your lucky to have 1 ac unit for the entire 2 bedroom suite. How do they expect it not to be filled with mildew if there's no proper ventilation! They changed our room and gave us blankets and told us to sleep on the floor! Beware!!!

    Clearly there are a lot of negative reviews, but I actually enjoyed my stay here. My husband and I got married on the rooftop of this hotel (venue is La Jolla Cove Rooftop by Wedgewood Weddings). The wedding venue and hotel are run separately under their own management. We were essentially "forced" to book 2 nights with the hotel since the venue does not have a bridal/groom suite. And we were pleasantly surprised to say that we're glad we did! We stayed in the Shores VIP Corner Penthouse Suite. This was a newly remodeled room. It was quite clean, modern, and spacious. There seemed to be good sound proofing in our room. Our first night there was some noise/music from a wedding, but it was a reasonable level and ended at 10 PM. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. The balcony view was nice. There can be a fishy smell when outside since you are so close to the sea lions. You can also hear the sea lions at times but the noise was pretty faint. The pillows were extremely uncomfortable. Flat yet lumpy in odd places. Don't think I've ever had this issue at a hotel before. This was the only aspect of our stay that affected my sleep quality. There are definitely far better hotels in the surrounding area, but for the purposes of our wedding, we were happy with the services here. I would double check when booking to see if you are in a remodeled room because it seems the older rooms provide a very different experience.

    Review of La Valencia Hotel…read more I purchased a day pass here as someone who works in the hospitality industry and is always curious to experience new properties from a guest perspective--and La Valencia absolutely delivered. I arrived pretty early in the morning (optimistically expecting sunshine), but even with the typical coastal overcast, it didn't take away from the experience at all. In fact, I somehow ended up with the pool almost entirely to myself--in the middle of August, which felt like a hidden luxury. The setting is just beautiful. The views, the calm atmosphere, and the overall sense of escape made it easy to settle in and relax. I spent about five hours there and never felt rushed or overlooked. The staff, especially at the cabana bar, were fantastic--attentive, respectful, and genuinely pleasant to interact with. I ordered food and drinks throughout the day, and everything added to the ease and enjoyment of the experience. The only small downside is parking, which can be a bit tricky--but that's pretty standard for La Jolla. Overall, this was an incredible day experience and absolutely worth it. I'd do it again without hesitation.

The venue was the perfect size for our 60-person wedding, and so beautiful with the ocean backdrop and landscape. There are lots of amazing spots for photography. From the moment we toured the venue, to planning details along the way, to the big day, communication was excellent. The hotel suggested vendors for our wedding that made vendor selection easy, and all of them were equally fantastic. The service the entire weekend was outstanding. The bridal suite was a fantastic space for the girls to get ready, made even better by the mimosas and treats the staff brought up. The team also went above and beyond for our family, even using the hotel golf carts to shuttle the grandparents to nearby restaurants so they wouldn't have to walk far. The food at the wedding was top-notch, with many guests raving about the meal. I was impressed with the number of wait staff who made sure the evening went smoothly. Overall, it was an incredible event, and we highly recommend La Valencia hotel.

    Absolutely would not stay here again…read more We stayed one night at the Empress Hotel in La Jolla on Valentine's Day, paying over $460/night, and the experience was bad considering this was not "exceptional service." Parking is in a public garage across the street. You pay $25 through an app and use a QR code to enter/exit. The scanner repeatedly failed. We had to get out of the car multiple times on a steep underground incline just to get the gate to open. We kept showing the QR code on our phones and nothing. We tried again and again. This would take 5 minutes every item trying to enter and exit. Finally it would respond. And the people in front of us and behind had the same problem Around 9 PM on a Saturday night (Valentine's Day) the garage gates were closed. The hotel staff should've warned us that parking closes early around here. Several hotel guests were standing outside with us , frustrated and confused. We called and the hotel told us to use an alternate entrance on another street. Once inside there was no way to find your car. You're on a different level having entered in a completely different side and at night. It took 17 minutes walking level to level to find our car. My husband is a Type 1 diabetic, so this stress and exertion became very stressful since his blood sugar started to drop. The microwave in our room also died mid-use, and the hotel had no replacement, which is odd since being familiar with hotel hospitality, they usually have back up coffee maker, microwaves, clocks, etc. We were in the area to visit our kid in college not for VD. We got frozen dinners at pavilions to have meal in our room since restaurants were booked. We had to heat our dinners upstairs in the breakfast area. Breakfast the next morning was awful -- mushy powdered eggs (they melted in your mouth like hot mush), strange bacon, warm milk, and soggy potatoes. Management offered a $17 adjustment, which does not cover the $25 parking fee. This dismissive and insulting given the extent of the all the things that went wrong. The front desk staff Hayley and Josh were friendly and professional. Not worth the price. We won't return.

Free water bottles in the lobby were a nice touch, and the complimentary breakfast (7:30-10:30 a.m.) was way better than your standard hotel spread, fresh, even the bacon was crispy but not over cooked, tasty, and filling. It's just a short walk to the beach, the kid-friendly "children's pool" area, and of course, the famous La Jolla seals. Be warned: La Jolla has its fair share of hills, so if you're bringing a stroller, be ready for a bit of a workout. This was our first time staying here, but it's already looking like it'll become our annual end-of-summer tradition. Next time, we're definitely staying longer.

This is an older hotel which brings great charm and has a very comfortable feel. The public restrooms were very clean and well maintained. The carpets in hallways to the rooms and on the stairs are just starting to show their age from their last replacement. Some areas need a little touch up painting but not really noticeable. Our room on the third floor, north side had a very small sliver view of the Ocean. We could hear a little traffic noise from Prospect St. It was a good size room with a nice King bed. There were no firm pillows on the bed, just soft down style. The bathroom was good size. Unfortunately, the toilet was right up against the sink vanity so you could not even lean to the right! The lighting was very good in the room, and the window covers did an adequate job. Our two other rooms were on the 2nd and 3rd floors right above Prospect St. Occupants in those rooms got very little sleep because of the loud traffic noise. As an older hotel the exterior noise damping is poor.

    Pros: Nice location. Lovely restaurant. Wonderful valet service. Cozy foyer. Relaxing pool area…read more Fantastic room service. Luxury toiletries. Cons: Cramped room. Musty closet. Thin walls. Dated furniture, not at all of what's shown on website. High rise blocking water view. Overall: Good enough stay. Wasn't worth the full price paid. Cheers!

The cliff is 30 yards away (measurement in golf terms), a chip shot from the cliff, walk about 5 minutes to the steps that take you down to the shore. It's quite beautiful, and wake up to the ocean in the am. It's a small inn, that doesn't have many rooms. If you are thinking Hyatt or Four Seasons, this is not that. It's cozy, clean, within walking distance to the shops in La Jolla. They have: Beach towels. Chairs, umbrellas, and even a beach cruiser to use. Inside the hotel room: Toiletries, Keurig Coffee, water, high pressure shower, ac, and a friendly front desk person. Enjoy a nice relaxing time here!

    For many years, we have stayed at Scripps Inn several times per year. The last several visits have…read morebeen very disappointing. One visit, the carpet was flooded, it took several hours to get someone to look at it. We asked for another room, but they claimed all rooms were booked. Another visit my husband had to fix the toilet, the seat was very loose. We asked to have it fixed but they would not have someone to fix it till Monday but by that time we would be gone. My husband asked for a wrench and fixed the seat. Another visit, we invited our son, his wife & our granddaughter to come for the weekend. I was so embarrassed, the bathroom had mold & other things were not right. We have not been back for 2 years. We have found other places to stay at, not in La Jolla. We have great memories but unfortunately the Inn has to be upgraded.

    My husband and I came to San Diego for a quick getaway and saw this hotel on Priceline. I googled…read morethis hotel and saw there was a better deal online so we booked it through their website. We checked in and the lady at the front desk was super friendly and helpful. However, our room was a lot smaller than I had expected. If cars are passing by, you'll hear it from the room, which made it hard for me to sleep. Also, there was a lady saying that her laptop was stolen and called the police. On the upside, it is pretty convenient to walk to downtown La Jolla and is very close to the ocean. Parking is also easy! Overall, I would probably pick somewhere quieter if we were returning to La Jolla, but other than that, not a bad price for what you're getting!

The amenities are sparse as it is literally a park and sleep spot with air conditioning. There is a pool and a Jacuzzi, but they are just a step above a Motel 6. My boyfriend and I went on an escape weekend and thought the rooms were clean and the air conditioning unit was amazing so we were very happy with that. The bed was comfortable and the linens were appropriate and above appropriate for the price at the area. One of the cool things is, we were the hotels guest of the day and receive free parking for our stay as as well as as one hour free bike rentals The Shoal is within walking and bicycling distance to many of the La Jolla Village attractions and we enjoyed using the bicycles to go to the Museum of Contemporary ArtSan Diego - which was excellent - plus lunch at La Correinte and local vibe drinks at The Shack in the way back. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay at a very reasonable price for the area and will consider this space again again, although we would've liked to go on the hot tub, but thought it was kind of gross.
