The staff go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable, clean, and safe. I appreciate they enforced the pool hours. The poolside rooms are worth it for the foliage and calming pool deck.
Newly renovated - clean and very pretty. Our suite was just perfect for us! Breakfast was really tasty, and the location is fabulous. Highly recommend this as a standout, yet economical option in La Jolla.
Staff were welcoming and efficient, I was provided with a room on a high floor, as requested, and parking was close and ample. I appreciate free parking, free Wifi, and free breakfast. Unfortunately the outdoor fire pits were in disrepair and covered over, so not accessible for guest use. Toiletries were exceptionally nice!

Found a ton of ants in my room right before I went to bed. I called the desk and the man that helped me was very friendly and helpful on getting me another room and even getting me some reward points for the inconvenience. The second room I checked into wasn’t very clean. The room had a weird smell and the bathroom didn’t look like it had been cleaned. There was hair in the shower still from whoever had stayed in the room last.
Property wasn’t very clean but very helpful and friendly staff.
The staff was excellent and very friendly! My room was cleaned daily and the location was perfect! I will definitely be staying here again!!

Th hotel staff was great. Upon arrival we were told we didn’t have ac but they offered a refund right away, and kept us updated. They provided a fan. It wasn’t too hot so that was helpful. Only down sides the gym didn’t open until 8am (but run outside it’s a beautiful area) and they are doing construction so lots of stuff everywhere but didn’t bother us. A heads up would have been nice though. Will return when we come back to visit family. Great pool, breakfast and area!
Nice stay in holiday inn. Good location and clean room. It provides free parking which is rare in La Jolla. The breakfast is good. The staff is friendly.
The property is lovely and the room was very comfortable, however, in my opinion, the hotel should invest in nicer towels and provide glassware, utensils, basic kitchen items for the suites. We have enjoyed there and hope that the management the towels etc as mentioned. They are terrible, to be honest. The food selection and coffee is great! thank you so much,
