Top Geisel Library Hotel Reviews

La Jolla Cove Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Five-Star Room, One-Star Experience — Why the Surprise? The hotel is currently undergoing major renovations, and unfortunately, guests are not adequately informed about the situation before arrival. The first room I was assigned was absolutely terrible. It was on the fifth floor with no elevator access, no air conditioning, and unacceptable cleanliness. Certainly not what anyone would expect from a hotel charging $650 per night! After contacting Expedia and explaining the situation, they intervened and managed to secure a different room for me. Surprisingly, the replacement room was excellent — beautifully renovated, clean, comfortable, and exactly what I expected for the price. But here's my question: Why was I given such a terrible room in the first place when a much better one was available? Unfortunately, the construction is happening throughout the property, with loud noise starting as early as 7:00 AM. Forget about sleeping in or enjoying a peaceful morning! I'm leaving five stars solely because the second room was excellent. However, the overall experience was far from five-star quality. My message to management: When guests are paying $650 per night, transparency is not optional. Customers deserve to know about ongoing construction, potential noise disturbances, and room conditions before making a reservation, not after checking in. A luxury price tag should come with a luxury experience, not an unpleasant surprise followed by a negotiation for a decent room."

La Jolla Shores Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Other than construction, the property was beautiful! Conveniently located right on the beach.., perfectly adjacent to park, playground and a block from shopping! Great staff! Great restaurant! Room was clean and bed was comfy! Enjoyed a couple peaceful hours on the balcony watching surfers and swimmers while enjoying morning coffee!"

3 Blocks From Beach, Free Kayak Rentals

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed this place but it's not for everyone. It's a little funky but well appointed. I appreciated all the beach supplies at our disposal. The bedding & towels were good quality. We had a good hillside view & lots of birds on the little deck, which despite being surrounded by other places, was fairly private. It really is 3 blocks from the beach & 1 block to a bunch of restaurants & a little store. Very convenient."

Mid-Century Modern Oasis in La Jolla Shores: Steps to Beach, Fun for Families!

10/10 Excellent

"Pure family vacation perfection. My kids couldn’t stop talking about the “tree house” place and kept begging to return. Our second time staying at the house did not disappoint. Our host truly went above and beyond when the restaurant valet lost our car key and we realized we were locked out since the house key was attached to the lost car key! Rachelle made a stressful situation feel like a breeze and was so warm and responsive. Thank you for another fantastic stay!"
