The Seabird Ocean Resort & Spa, Part of Destination Hotel by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"The restaurant in this hotel is extremely expensive. Also, in order to eat there, even as a patron of the hotel, for any meal, including breakfast, you have to have a reservation. None of this is explained when checking in. At least there are other places close that you can walk to. The room was very clean, the staff was very helpful, but again, paying $17.50 for a cup of coffee to go is a bit steep."

Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines

4/10 Poor

"I was scheduled March 19-23, I understand it was in the middle of spring break but I have traveled here during this time and I have never had issues. First, children were screaming up and down to hallways beginning at 11;00pm until about 11:30pm. Secondlly, adults were arguing and screaming at each other deep into height bot ends of my hallways. I tried to reach the front desk but I was kept on hold for more that 20 until I gave up waiting. Lastly, men were being being spoken to in order to break them off the pool during a scuffle it all took place near my eindir while I sss run to enjoy dir free runs. "
