I booked this hotel through Priceline so I only paid $100 per night... even that was too much! The rooms were okay. The furnishings were pretty shabby (it was like visiting a grandmother's house). We stayed on the 6th floor and it was so noisy. I could hear every footstep around me and the sliding glass doors to the adjacent rooms sounded ...

Though Hotel La Jolla is walking distance to La Jolla Shores, has a wonderful restaurant called Clays with a view of La Jolla, and has diligent cleaning staff, it's very noisy.

We were located on the third floor above the entrance. Next door to the hotel is a carwash that makes a very load noise every time someone drives through. Below us ...

we stayed at la jolla hotel in oct. 2006 when we first arrived they had given our room away.. i had made reservations 3 months in advance.. so that night they upgraded us after 1-1/2 hours of waiting... but didnt know if they would have a room for us the next 3 nights... so we had to wait all day to find out... they did have a room the next day.. ...

Very clean,quite, well maintained grounds and easy to come & go from this location

The staff was attentive to our need and housekeeping maintain our room and the hotel overall in first class shape. Very quite rooms, no road noise.

Rooms extremely overcharged...
its 'OK' hotel with clean small rooms with not that far from ocean (NOT A WALKING DISTANCE) .........BUT FOR 150.00 or so! not 230-250... never will stay there again..
and they lie about pricing!! charging you much more afterwards.

It was the things we didn't expect that really impressed us. The terry cloth robes, the heated tile floors, and the well stocked fridge. The upstairs restaurant was excellent, and the view of La Jolla and the coastline was awesome!

The room was very spacious and comfortable. It was within walking distance to the beach and the restaurant had great food for dinner.
We had a wonderful view of the ocean. Only complaint was the sheets were like sandpaper.
T & J

We stayed at the Hotel La Jolla for 11 nights in July/Aug 2005.

Initially, we were a bit disappointed in the varied level of housekeeping service (different housekeeping staff tended to do different things, but it was ALWAYS clean). But we left a note asking for what we needed (4 chocolates for 4 people, not just 2) and the staff was MORE ...

Beach is in walking distance, but not close enough so you would want to do it more than once a day.
Not in walking distance to downtown La Jolla.

Room is spacious, clean, shower is good for tall people. Nice gym, pool, Jaccuzi. Free parking all day, many spots in the shade. Nice porch.

All rooms are in the direction of the ocean, but some or not high enough (since the hotel is not on the beach).
