Hotels near Salk Institute for Biological Studies

"We stayed here as a family and chose Embassy Suites because we’ve generally had reliable experiences, especially with the included breakfast. The room itself was clean and had everything we needed, which we appreciated. However, this one was somewhat disappointing. The biggest concern was the breakfast on our first morning, I saw a roach in the muffins, which completely turned me off from eating there for the rest of our stay. There were also a few maintenance and upkeep issues. The washing machines on our floor were not working, and we had to go down multiple floors just to dry towels, which was inconvenient. Additionally, there was a small hole in the couch, and the patio furniture showed noticeable wear and tear and could use updating. Overall, while the stay was okay, these issues made it fall short of what we typically expect from Embassy Suites, especially for the price. "

"Good overall"

"Check in was smooth. I asked for an extra water but it wasn't delivered. No one explained how to get out of parking lot at the end of our stay and the gate tried to collect money from us even though we already paid. I ended up running back to the front desk and then they just told me to hit the help button. The pool was nice and warm and clean. Would have liked a hot tub. "

"Acceptable "

"Great breakfast and staff"

"Beach view was good"

"First with the positive. Check in was easy and although parking isn’t included it was inexpensive. We reserved a family room that had an electric stove, microwave and fridge. This was great for keeping snacks fresh for our kids. The beds were comfy and each room has its own TV. Also, this facility had a great variety for breakfast. The AC in to room worked awesome! Now the negative. The bathtub wasn’t draining well and my husband unclogged the drain from wads of hair and gunk. Our ceiling fan didn’t function at all. The kids were missing a chain on their fan and couldn’t change the settings. Lastly there was a crack in the kids bathroom sink. "

"Breakfast was great. Rooms comfortable, parking plentiful (in the back)."

"Hotel is falling apart and dirty. I could hear sound all night (hall) and from the room above. The finishes inside the room are in poor condition and falling apart. Wouldn’t recommend…"
