Top Escondido Hotel Reviews

La Jolla Cove Suites

La Jolla Cove Suites

8/10 Good
"The hotel was beautiful and the location was fantastic. However, half the building is under construction and it begins at 7 AM on weekdays (equipment and supplies will start to be delivered earlier then that as well). we wanted the ocean view so we were at the front of the building so it was constantly loud. Of the 4 nights we stayed, 3 nights had weddings on the roof that went till 10, but that didn't stop the wedding party from continuing. If you're looking for something more relaxing this probably isn't the place but if you want to be right on the water and walkable to everything in La Jolla this is perfect!"

"Wonderful location. Steps away from the beach and several restaurants. Only negative was that the building is older and no air conditioning. It was very warm in our room at night (ceiling fans and a floor fan helped). Easy in and out parking."

"This hotel is great value for the money. Yes, it’s not the most extravagant but it checks off everything on the list. Comfy beds✔️ Air conditioned rooms✔️ Hot breakfast ✔️ Central to most things✔️ Free parking✔️ By the way, this is a real review I didn’t get any incentive for this. We stayed from September 25, 2026. We actually arrived earlier than expected and the allowed us to check in a couple of hours before check in time."

"This place is AMAZING! I’m so glad we ended up getting a room w a back porch/ on the lawn (vs the tower)- our toodler ran around the lawn playing a other kids all day, the pool was amazing- always plenty of chairs and servers. Sunset music was a blast- fire pits glowing, drinks flowing and great music! My only warning is our WiFi was terrible- to a point where we couldn’t even watch netflix (it could have been bc our room was on the water?). Other than that- this place is as close to a true “inclusive resort” as i d seen in the US and well def be back with our fig next time!"
