Top La Jolla Recreation Center Hotel Reviews

La Jolla Shores Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent, we’ll be back!"

Inn By The Sea La Jolla

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and quiet"

Pantai Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The Pantai Inn is truly an amazing property and such a hidden gem! The location is fantastic — right on the water and within walking distance of the seals, downtown shopping, and so many great restaurants. The staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming, and I loved all the thoughtful complimentary amenities, including breakfast, sodas, and laundry. The atmosphere of the property is charming and relaxing, and the rooftop lounge area with the fire pit was such a great place to unwind. Before our trip, I had a really hard time deciding which hotel to choose, but now that I’ve stayed at the Pantai Inn, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the area."

La Jolla Cove Suites

10/10 Excellent

"recently renovated room was great"

Orli La Jolla

8/10 Good

"Beautiful property in a great central La Jolla location. I’ve stayed quite a few times- this time I stayed in the wing which was my least favorite room. The sound from the people above kept me up, it sounded like a toddler was running back and forth at all hours. Definitely not the hotels fault but maybe they need to do more about sound transfer through the floors. The wing also faces the street so it’s hard to get both natural light and privacy. I would stay again but just in another room."

Cormorant Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable."

Grande Colonial Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay helpful staff"

Hotel La Jolla, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Restaurant not available. Was told we would called when room was available and we were not. Just sitting around waiting"

Empress Hotel of La Jolla

8/10 Good

"I liked the underground secured parking. It is close to a lot of restaurants and the ocean. We visited during hot weather, adding a ceiling fan to our room would be big in staying cool."
