La Jolla Cove Suites

10/10 Excellent

"I knew, in advance, about the construction. Upgraded a bit and stayed in a room facing La Jolla Cove; nice setting despite the construction noise at times. Cool “see-through” shower! Not really but close."

Sheraton La Jolla Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean. I did not like that there really was no place to hang clothing in the in the bathroom and the hook for the bath towel was difficult to reach from the shower. The room decor was pleasant. However, there was a lot of traffic noise. The pool and garden area was lovely. The restaurant was very good, although I felt the breakfast prices were a little high. The staff there was great. I do not feel you should be charging $30 a day for parking. There were a lot of empty spaces in that lot. Convenient location to the La Jolla beaches. I like that you’re not located in a congested high-rise area. Your front desk staff was very friendly, and one woman knew a lot about the area however, several others were unfamiliar with local attractions, when questioned about directions on sites to see. I would stay at this site again."
