Top La Jolla Beach Hotel Reviews

Empress Hotel of La Jolla

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay it was a nice hotel very clean safe but we thought there was a pool and there wasn't."

Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego La Jolla

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the housekeeping staff did such a great job making sure that the room was cleaned regularly. The Front desk staff were all very helpful, friendly and very professional. Breakfast was very average but we are not talking about breakfast at places like this being gourmet, etc. Parking was okay and it does cost $30 per car per night. The pool was nice. The gym was adequate. There was an ADA elevator that went from the lobby to the gym level but it didn't work and I was told that it was used for storage. Seems like this needs to be addressed. Overall it was a pleasant stay."

Inn By The Sea La Jolla

10/10 Excellent

"This is by far my favorite stay in the San Diego area. La Jolla has the most beautiful beaches and overlooks and is so peaceful and calm. Tons of great coffee shops, restaurants and shops right by the property and good parking options. I have decided now after a couple trips to CA that I will be staying at Inn by the sea from here on out. The staff is excellent, the new construction they have done to modernize the rooms is amazing and so clean! I recommend this stay to anyone visiting looking for sightseeing, walking around, and just enjoying vacation."

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego La Jolla

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast here is really good in comparison to other hotels (fresh made omelets are always a win) even if the rest of the fare was the average you get anywhere else. Service was good. Our room was clean and spacious, and although a big dated (older furniture, older mini-fridge, old style bathroom, the hand-rest of the sofa was peeling) it was a comfortable stay (except for the pillows that were not great)."

Spanish Casita in the Village of La Jolla - Walk to Everything

10/10 Excellent

"The Casita is perfectly located down in the Village and charming, very clean , bright and airy. We love our stay there. We hope to stay there again."

Mid-Century Modern Oasis in La Jolla Shores: Steps to Beach, Fun for Families!

10/10 Excellent

Cormorant Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel. A little noisy as it’s right on the street, and rooms are a little old fashioned. But it does the job!"

La Valencia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great room - nice views and really quaint hotel ! We loved our stay!"

Grande Colonial Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My room was clean, spacious, and quiet. The location is prime with easy access to the beach, restaurants and all the attractions around the area. I had a great experience and will definitely go back."
