Empress Hotel Of La Jolla

Location was great, other than...

Liked: Location
Disliked: -Parking wasn’t free ($25 per day)-we got alerted about a tax increase 1 hr prior to our check in time. The hotel needs to give people notice at the time of booking or at least 3 days ahead of time! -only 1 elevator was working 1 of 2 days we stayed -the front desk guy said we could check in at 3pm and we showed up at 4pm and still had to wait 30 minutes for our room to be ready and then the lady tried to offer us a single King bed room instead of the double Queen room we booked online. Come to find out she didn’t realize that we booked a double Queen initially until she looked back at her computer after we waited 30 mins and she assumed we book a single king room.

Quiet hotel in a walkable...

Liked: Slept great! Comfortable bed, quiet and well maintained, available washer and dryer, valet parking.
Disliked: Breakfast was pretty bad. Never thought a hotel at this price point would use reconstituted eggs. Luckily, they were hard, boiled eggs, and oatmeal. And great restaurants nearby..
