    Nomad room
    Tricia M.

    We thoroughly enjoyed the two nights we spent at Orli La Jolla. It was easily one of our most comfortable stays - the concierge team were super helpful and took excellent care of us. We stayed in the Nomad room - the room with two queen beds - which was spacious and comfortable with ocean views. The room was super quiet and the beds were so comfortable. We arrived a little early and they were able to hold our luggage for us - then brought it to our room so it was ready when we checked in. Text worked well to communicate - anything we needed was a text away - and the staffed front desk was also outside in the patio so we could always talk to someone during regular hours. They also let us know about wine hour via text - a really nice choice of wines and we enjoyed sitting in the patio and enjoying them. The cold brew and kombucha were delicious - and they had Sugar & Scribe pastries every morning - which was a wonderful surprise. They also outfitted our room with a Nespresso coffee maker and provided granola bars and bottled water. The grounds were immaculately kept - and ever detail was well thought out. We paid ahead for parking (which I would recommend) - and it was a short walk from the hotel. All in all, we had a wonderful time in La Jolla and hope to visit Orli the next time we are in town.

    The most beautiful and perfect stay. This hotel was absolutely amazing. The check in process was seamless the staff was outstanding. The ambience was relaxing and so comfortable, stylish and the attention to detail on every aspect of this place is just outstanding. Over all I will stay here in the future indefinitely. I'm so glad i was able to experience this place and its surroundings. About 29 minutes from just about anything you can think of in San Diego. A must stay!!!!

    Stayed at the Orli for 2 nights earlier this month to celebrate my birthday and had the most incredibly relaxing time! We (my husband and our dog) stayed in the Irving Gill Penthouse, which had two stories and was spacious, well-decorated, and comfortable. They provided a fluffy dog bed, bowls, and a new toy for our dog, who basically thought the entire trip was for him. The outdoor terrace upstairs had plenty of seating and a beautiful view. There were two mini-fridges and two Nespresso machines (one on each floor - so convenient!), and a convection oven and hot water kettle that we used multiple times. There was also plenty of tableware and drinkware, along with everything we needed to wash the dishes (sponge, dish soap, dish rack, dish towels). Before arriving I was a little worried about being able to find our room (since it was communicated that check-in would be contactless and that they didn't have a front desk), but when we stepped into the courtyard there was someone on-site who immediately greeted us and guided us where to go. Everyone we met who worked at the hotel was super friendly and helpful, and both the courtyard and lounge areas were exceptionally clean and inviting! There were plenty of delicious places to eat within walking distance, and it was an easy walk to the beach as well. I'm already planning a return trip - I can definitely see myself coming back not only for a vacation but even to work from "home"!

    A hidden gem in the center of the La Jolla Village, Orli has to be the most unique hotel I've had the pleasure of staying at. It's luxurious, without being out of touch. The entire design from the lobby to the individual suites is so beautiful. I love how it feels less like a hotel and more like a home. You could see the thoughtfulness behind each detail -- from the room names to the signifiers in each room (like binoculars or a Polaroid camera) to the water and dark chocolate waiting on the bedside table upon arrival. During my stay, I was able to work from the peaceful Courtyard, walk down to the beach with my puppy in under 10 minutes, and have a myriad of local experiences (again, all within walking distance). I was given a custom code to use on the keypad on my suite door (goodbye to the days of forgetting my key card) and never had an issue entering or exiting. I also received a custom link to the web app so I could easily chat with a member of hospitality team if I needed to, seamlessly order juice, and restock my towels (the latter two without having to talk to someone directly). The web app also gave me all the details I needed to have a comfortable stay. Speaking of comfort, the bed was (for lack of better words) amazing. I can have difficulty sleeping in other hotels due to their mattress and bedding choices, but at Orli, I fell asleep so quickly and woke up not wanting to get out of bed. My stay at Orli was nothing short of flawless, and it is now a mainstay for any time I visit San Diego.

    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.

This place is an incredible value for the cost, again I feel like I need to gate keep this but yelp is about sharing....you're right across from the ocean, with some of the best views in La Jolla. We stayed in Room 208 and while there are no elevators or luggage carts (so pack light or be ready for some stairs), the oceanfront views totally made up for it. The hotel has a charming, older vibe, but it's well maintained and fits the beachy, Balinese-inspired theme perfectly. Our room came with an above-average kitchen setup, which made it easy to prep snacks and simple meals during our stay. 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.

We were woken up at 5:00 AM by loud construction noise from the site next door. When we brought this to the attention of the manager, Sergio, the experience went from bad to worse. Instead of being helpful or empathetic, Sergio was dismissive, stating he 'didn't hear anything' and claimed construction doesn't start until 7:00 AM--he's been here since 6AM - heard nothing --- essentially calling us liars while the noise was happening. For nearly $400 a night, the level of service was shocking. There was zero remorse and no effort to make things right--not even a simple gesture like a coffee to acknowledge the inconvenience. Beyond the service, the rooms are small and outdated. This was a massive disappointment, and we will be sure to warn our friends and family to stay elsewhere. Sergio, you have a lot to learn about basic customer service! UPDATE: I wanted to update my review following a rough start to our stay.

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!

    We had a weekend getaway planned and ended up at The Shoal La Jolla Beach. The highlight was the…read moreroom we reserved. The hotel itself feels like a nicely renovated Travelodge--which it actually is--but the room made all the difference. We chose what felt like a rooftop addition: a single top-floor suite with a large private, semi-wraparound deck. It was genuinely impressive, and we loved it. The young gentleman who checked us in was charming and friendly, and we were glad to arrive. Our room was clean, and the view from the top was excellent, even with a slight obstruction. One of my least favorite post-pandemic trends is how many hotels have adopted the "reduced service" approach, which often reads as "we can't be bothered." When you're paying hundreds of dollars a night, basic service shouldn't be a negotiation. The Shoal did mention this policy upfront. The next morning, on our way out, I stopped by the front desk to keep things simple for housekeeping. We only needed two things: replacement pumps for the broken shower product dispensers (two of them), and the bed made. Straightforward. They did replace the pumps, and we appreciated that. But they didn't bother making the bed. Oddly, they did clean the bathroom and replace towels--something we didn't ask for. When a guest makes a basic request, why is it missed? Policy? Forgetfulness? Inefficiency? Hard to say. The hotel's location is excellent--about two miles from the village in a mostly residential area. There's a charming little gourmet market down the street and several restaurants within walking distance. The beach is just steps away. Even with the on-and-off rain, we genuinely enjoyed our La Jolla weekend. The food scene in this town is strong. Do a little research, because there are some fantastic restaurants packed into this small, very appealing area.
