Top Birch Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Hotel La Jolla, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Good service and our eigth floor clean room with an ocean view was perfect for our visit. The power bathroom partition that revealed an ocean view from inside the shower was amazing! It was a shame the top floor restaurant was closed for renovation. The 1st floor bar adapted with food orders from the above kitchen. The Curio gave $30/day bar credit to use which was nice. $30/person/day would have been better. The Curio landscaping had beautiful green foliage and different palms. At night, the parking lot was lined with fire flamed kettles. A very good choiced hotel that's a mile walk to the Prospect shopping area and the sea lion bay cove."
