Hotel La Jolla, Curio Collection by Hilton

I ended up being overcharged by $90, and the staff was unprofessional about it. I observed other guests being overcharged as well. We booked a package with breakfast included for two, but it wasn’t fully included. The provision was $22 per person per day, which doesn’t cover breakfast for two. Additionally, I wasn’t informed that the credit system works on a daily basis rather than for the entire stay. Although my wife and I checked in together, only one person was registered with the room and received the allocation. This is shady business practices and serious penny-pinching by Hilton. They also lack transparency about how the resort fee works and how it can be redeemed at the restaurant. When I rightfully questioned the excess charges, the staff gave me dirty looks. I was given a paper with numerous unclear charges, seemingly to confuse me. After doing the math in my head, the charges didn’t add up. None of the staff appeared to have proper hospitality training. This was my third stay at this place, and it will be my last. Despite the renovations, it’s not worth it. The breakfast quality was poor; we ordered granola that mentioned banana, but we were served random fruits instead. When we pointed this out, the waiter unprofessionally said they didn’t have bananas that day, without informing us when we ordered. To top it all off, self-parking costs $39 per night, with no staff to help with luggage. You can park 100 feet from the hotel on the street for free; it’s La Jolla, not downtown. Terrible experience, and I will never stay at a Hilton again.

My family recently stayed at the Hotel La Jolla. I highly recommend the hotel for families or business travel. Very close to UC San Diego, a quick walk to the beach, and bikes you can borrow. This property has recently been renovated, the rooms were gorgeous. EVERY room has a nice view. (I do recommend a higher floor if you can get one). The lower rooms however, have a larger balcony so it's a trade off. My favorite part of the room was the glass shower with a view straight out to the pacific ocean! Yes, there is a privacy screen if you have other people in the room with you. Parking is plenty on either side of the hotel. Need a Starbucks fix? There is one right in front of the hotel. The food was delicious and the servers were so helpful and recommended activities for us while we were in the area. It was still pretty chilly while we were there and the hotel has fire places around the lobby and outdoor pool area where we were very comfortable. The restaurant at the top of the hotel has a small bar area and dining room and is geared toward fresh local food. They were just about to open after a complete renovation and we snuck up to take a peak. The general manager was there and was very gracious and gave us a quick tour. There is not a bad view in there. I hope to stay here again when we are back in the area. Thank you for a great stay!

My son and I recently stayed at Hotel La Jolla. It was fabulous! The view was spectacular from our room and the views from the brand new rooftop restaurant are even better. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have slept in and the amenities in the room were top notch. Everything was beautifully designed for a luxury stay. My favorite part was wearing the comfy robe provided and sitting out on the balcony looking over the ocean while sipping a fresh brewed nepresso from the nepresso machine in the room! I can’t recommend enough!!

Excellent from top to bottom. I’ll be back

Helpful & attentive staff, great location
