Top Birch Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Sheraton La Jolla Hotel

Sheraton La Jolla Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is clean, has good sized rooms. Helpful staff and some good gardens and facilities. The bar is good but the food isn’t so good. The dinner was stale, possibly the humus help too long so was quite gassy. The burger was ok but a little overdone. The breakfast was a pricey for what it is. The a-la-carte at the deli was simply too pricey; a croissant for $10 and a coffee $8! The breakfast buffet options were a bit weird. One was a lite breakfast that didn’t say what it was and the other was a club breakfast which was at the other end of the property which wasn’t clear either as to what you get for it.. apart from the description that says you can have some rarly evening drinks too as part of it( not ideal if you’re wanting to see the city and be out at that time. It would have been better that they just had the option of an included buffet breakfast in the room rate and be done with it! However, there are ample breakfast options just a 5 min walk from the hotel in the adjacent retail park. The car parking too was a bit dear at $30 per night."

4/10 Poor

"i need a bigger room so I got the terrace ocean view with two bedroom 2 bathrooms. i already knew that the room was outdated which was completely fine. I was definitely mislead because no where in the pictures did it say my room was 2 levels otherwise i would have never booked it with 2 kids under 2, huge hazard, my room had 4 levels of stairs to separate the two bedrooms. The unit had no ac throughout only ac in the 2 bedrooms; we were hot throughout the stay. There was no trashcan upstairs so we had to place our trash into a neat pile, even after i asked for one they never brought one. The description said stair access only which means stairs only to get to the room which was expected. That is a whole other story. The room is so far from the main lobby you have to get into the car and drive all the way around the block into a a tiny parking lot. To get to the beach you have to walk a good 10 minutes of stairs, going down is easy but going up forget it. The hotel in under renovation so my ocean view so when i walked out to the balcony it was to a huge covered construction building. which isn’t going to be complete for another few years by the way. There was also a wedding going on Friday and it’s my view from my balcony until 10pm. The only reason i didn’t put 1 star was because the room we chose was because we walked to all the restaurants which were all on prospect street where are room was and it was easy to communicate with the front desk"

8/10 Good

"The room we had on the third floor was clean, had an a/c unit (which was great and needed) bed was comfortable and they cleaned the room and made the bed each day. Note that even though there are 4 floors there is no elevator. But I am sure the staff would help if you need it (we were ok carrying ours). As others have said the room is not small, but isn’t spacious either. The open air restaurant and bar on the roof has great staff who are pretty good. Remember that if you are staying at the hotel you get a discount on the bill if you show your room card. The views are nice but there is no noise reduction requirements for cars or motorbikes in the town so it can get REALLY noisy."
