La Jolla Cove Suites, La Jolla

Would return to this lovely...

Liked: The view from our ocean front balcony suite was lovely. It overlooks the La Jolla Cove where there's lots of activity with divers, swimming, sea otters and lions, dog walkers, joggers, etc. Very entertaining. Aside from the fantastic view, we enjoyed the pool and hot tub at the end of a busy day. Also took advantage of the La Jolla Sports Club we had complimentary access to with our stay. Continental breakfast served our needs. Location of motel is outstanding.
Disliked: We were expecting a kitchen with dishes, pots and pans, etc. Yes, we had a kitchen with a small refrigerator and microwave, cupboards, and a table with 4 chairs. However, the cupboards were empty-bought paper products and didn't cook. Apparently, they do have units equipped with kitchen necessities, but ours wasn't, so ask when you book.

Good

Liked: View
Disliked: Dated and not kept up

I needed to get away...

Disliked: The room needed remodeling his specially the bathroom. Housekeeping came late several days and one day didn?t come at all.

Is was pleasant

Liked: View was great
Disliked: Noise above our room

Very good

Liked: Pools and tables to play Service very friendly Big rooms
Disliked: Noisy rooms: one can easily hear the street where there is a lot of traffic and morning trucks Full of cupboards / space but nothing inside useful. Eg. the kitchen doesn't have any spoon, fork, knives plates, or anything to cook in it. Only a few plastic/paper cups (plastic should really be banned) It's waste of space and description is a bit misleading when saying that there is an eating area Lack of bar service on rooftop Poor breakfast at reception, no restaurant area to enjoy it and no tray to bring it back to the room. 2nd floor is a bit low to benefit from a nice sea view.

Good

Disliked: For a suite named property having a microwave and fridge would be nice. Also we picked the places because breakfast was supposed to be included but for the month of October it was not. There a sad continental breakfast offered but no toaster for the English muffins or bagels. Cold bread and hard butter packets don?t mix well!

Exceptional

Liked: The view of the beach was amazing! The bed was very comfortable. The animals on the beach were so cool!!
Disliked: I was surprised that the sea lions and bird smelled so bad, especially on a windy day. I was sad we couldn't stay longer!

Great stay in La Jolla!

Liked: The view. Pay a little extra for it, you won't be disappointed. Comfy bed. Location, location, location! Seals and sea lions on the cove to hang out with 24/7! Lots of shopping and restaurant options within walking distance...fun atmosphere, good vibes only, best sunsets on the west coast! Fun swimming pool, jacuzzi, ping pong and pool tables! Great stay overall!
Disliked: Bathroom was very small, got burned in the shower several times. Glass sliding door on balcony was very hard to open. Building is dated, don't expect a 5-star stay here. But these things were easy to look past. This location for the price was worth it!

The worst Hotel, Never again!!!!

Liked: The location is the only good thing about this place,, and The staff (specifically Chris from 11p-7a shift) is the so helpful.
Disliked: We book a room expecting it was at least ?good enough? despite all the bad reviews and yet We learned the hard way. The rate is really good for its location but just like what they say, if it?s too good to be true then it?s probably is. We flew 6 hours to have little getaway for our family. When we got to the hotel it?s almost midnight. We checked in and expecting we can at last get some rest after the long day of traveling (we have a 4 years old with us). We went to our room and viola it?s not bigger than a bathroom (we don?t care), it?s smells old and musty and there?s no electricity nor air conditioning. I called the front desk and he said ?oh yah there?s no electricity in there?. They did move us on a different room but because they?re fully book we ended up on a different room each night. Imagine you unpacking your things just to re packed them every day. We didn?t change hotel as our LO likes to watch the sea lions every morning and just hangout by the water at night. Just a piece of advice Don?t waste your money nor your time with this place. It?s a waste of money!! Never again!
