La Jolla Cove Suites

Great location in La Jolla, but unless you pay extra for the renovated side (they did offer us an opportunity to upgrade to the renovated side for an extra $50 at check in, which in hindsight we should have), I would not recommend it. The outdated side of the hotel is in dire need of a renovation. We paid $200/night for a super small, musty room with a tiny bathroom (you can brush your teeth in the sink while sitting on the toilet and the bathroom door wouldn’t even close due to warping and horrible paint job). It has an extremely slow elevator, the closet is so small your clothes can’t hang horizontally, the shower water temperature changes randomly, it only has a small mobile AC unit, and there is no mini fridge. Long story short: The outdated side is so not worth the price. Spend the extra money and stay on the renovated side. Also, the 5th floor rooftop has a beautiful view and the Parakeet cafe by the lobby is very cute and has good coffee!

We enjoyed our stay at La Jolla Inn and Suites. The staff were helpful and pleasant. The rooms clean and comfy. Great shower. The seals were awesome!!

I recently stayed at this hotel during a business trip, and unfortunately, I was disappointed with my experience. The room I booked did not look like what was presented in the pictures. The part of the building where I was placed seemed quite old and wasn’t very pleasant. It felt more like a motel than a hotel. On the positive side, the staff was fantastic, and the view outside the property was beautiful. The location was also very convenient. However, I was unhappy because the actual room did not match my expectations, and the rate felt too high for what was offered.

There is a new part of the hotel and old part. We stayed at the old part. We did have an ocean view room so that was great. The location was excellent. Everything else was terrible. The old part is old and dirty. We had pubic hairs that were not ours all over the bathroom. It was like they were sprinkled there. Our friends that stayed had ants in their bathtub. It became a running joke on how many ants they would see at any given time. The noise level was too much. People opening other hotel doors woke you up. There was constantly a party with music blaring on the rooftop, which made it difficult to sleep. The beds were hard, but that was the least of the worries. Would I stay here again? For sure not in the old part. No way.

The cover picture for the hotel is misleading, a very small part it appears (I have not seen it) is newer and I assume this is where the picture comes from, the rest of the hotel is very old and in poor state. It is really a motel. Very noisy, paper thin walls. The location is very good and overlooking the ocean, however balcony is in bad shape, not really usable. Bring ear plugs for the seals barking all night , the neighbors and the parties on the roof top.

Beautiful views, super local for dining and shopping. And a great rooftop for wedding venues however, our one bedroom suite was out of the 1980s really clean but very outdated. The hotel on the outside looked extremely worn due to weather. It’s very hard to keep things looking brand new, especially with coastal mist and fog.
