Top La Jolla Hotel Reviews

La Jolla Shores Hotel

La Jolla Shores Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location for a slow stay in La Jolla. I appreciate the laid back vibe of this older property. It’s well maintained and has everything I needed to fully unwind. I love that it isn’t stuffy. I don’t get the $55 parking fee. That’s steep. I highly recommend this place especially if you can find some where else to park."

Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines

Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines

8/10 Good

"Not a very smooth check in, they couldn’t find our reservation linked from Expedia. Felt like we were treated poorly because we booked through Expedia. We are in La Jolla for business quite a bit and have stayed in a few of the nicer hotels, all booked through Expedia, but this was the first Hilton stay, and it was a lot less seamless than some of our other stays near by."

Grande Colonial Hotel

Grande Colonial Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice older hotel well maintained. We had a junior “suite”, a very spacious room, king bed, nice bathroom with a walk in shower as we had requested. A view of the ocean. Maids did a good job cleaning up every morning with fresh towels etc. None of this ‘we only clean every two days’ etc. like you hear at lesser places. The combined breakfast room, bar, restaurant was not an elegant area, but the service was excellent. Main sitting area was a beautiful room, not huge, but adequate. A small patio overlooking the pool was sometimes open for breakfast, others times not - confusing."
