Top La Jolla Recreation Center Hotel Reviews

Inn By The Sea La Jolla

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were so helpful and readily available. The breakfast room service was incredible. If I return to LA Jolla, I will definitely stay there again. Great place."

Scripps Inn La Jolla Cove

8/10 Good

"this is a very cute property and the location is amazing/unbeatable.My biggest complaint is none of the electrical sockets worked well--they all seemed lose and did not make good contact with any of our plugs. that would be an easy fix as well as updating some to include usb outlets, otherwise it was great for our one night stay."

The Shoal La Jolla Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff, very clean and close to the beach!"

Pantai Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Old style Balinesian hotel ... Rooms were nice with kitchen and living room. Great location. Staff was very nice. Would stay there again."

Empress Hotel of La Jolla

8/10 Good

"Great location walking distance to the seals and Children’s Pool. The local music was a nice touch. Loved that everything was walkable."

Grande Colonial Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice older hotel well maintained. We had a junior “suite”, a very spacious room, king bed, nice bathroom with a walk in shower as we had requested. A view of the ocean. Maids did a good job cleaning up every morning with fresh towels etc. None of this ‘we only clean every two days’ etc. like you hear at lesser places. The combined breakfast room, bar, restaurant was not an elegant area, but the service was excellent. Main sitting area was a beautiful room, not huge, but adequate. A small patio overlooking the pool was sometimes open for breakfast, others times not - confusing."

La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club

10/10 Excellent

"The flooding during h"

The Sands of La Jolla

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was very clean and modern. The pool was warm and amazing to swim in at night. The room had a balcony and everything you could need for a short stay. The location is also great, as we were able to walk to and from the beach, to CVS, and to food. The staff was extremely friendly, especially the man who helped fix our TV and provide utensils to us at night. However, the staff member at the desk right around check out time was taking a very long bathroom break which was just inconvenient timing as we could not be helped and had to wait over ten minutes. Overall, a great location and great stay!"

Redwood Hollow Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location close to the beaches, tide pools and the shops and restaurants. Room was very clean and had all we needed. Staff was super nice and responsive. Would stay again for sure."
