Property was clean and all rooms have ocean facing balconies, although you need to be on higher floors to see the water. Rooms are spacious and bed was extremely comfortable, although a firmer pillow option would be nice. Robes in closet are nice, but too small for an adult male. Balcony was a great place to enjoy my morning coffee, but the patio area where the coffee bar is located is tranquil and well done as well. Sea and Sky has a great view during the day and enjoyed their food. Wish there were several more local fish options for entrees and that the bar lighting was more subdued. The property is an easy 10 minute walk to La Jolla
Shores Beach with several restaurants, bars, and shops along the way. I walked into downtown La Jolla, but it is an uphill 20+ minute walk along a busy street.

This was our first time staying at the property and I wish we had more than a one night's stay. I grew up in La Jolla and we live in North County. We came to town to have a beach BBQ with my cousins who were in from out of town and our stay was a matter of convenience, The staff member who checked us in was so helpful and friendly. Our room was spacious, very clean, and nicely decorated. The room had a balcony with a couple of chairs that looked out over the front of the property and it had a peak ocean view. We had a drink in the bar during the happy hour. Most drinks were $10 during the happy hour, but you have to pay attention because my husband ordered a drink and it was double that price. The bed was very comfortable and our room was quiet. We took advantage of the $30 off breakfast. The view from the dining room was outstanding. You could see all of La Jolla Shores. All of the members of the wait staff were friendly and attentive. We both had an eggs benedict dish and I must say that was one of the best benedicts I have ever had in my life. Whenever we were in the halls or on an elevator, the housekeeping staff was cheerful and greeted us. I am very sorry we never made it out to the pool or to explore any of the outside areas of the hotel so I can't comment on them. This will be our place to stay each year when we visit my cousins. I'm sold!

We stayed here for the 4th of July weekend. We had a wonderful view of the ocean and drone 4th of July show. It's 2 blocks away from some great restaurants, kayak/snorkel tours and the actual beach. The room was clean and beds were so comfortable. On the 4th of July they cooked hamburgers and hotdogs at a reduced price. When we saw that we would have the pool and lounge chairs to ourselves, we spent the day of the 4th here rather than fight the crowd at the beach. It was so relaxing. This hotel helped us have a relaxing, memorable weekend.

We didn’t stay they gave us a room with lots of steps and no handrails next to their construction site that they didn’t tell us about before we booked there. But on a good note the management gave us our money back about 4 days later after my daughter called the management. The parking is not at the hotel so it takes about 15 to 20 minutes to get your car from the valet and it costs $45 dollars a day. So to say it was not a good or relaxing experience is an understatement. FYI - The valet told us that the noise is unbelievable Monday through Friday. We went there on the weekend so we didn’t experience the construction noise.

I stayed here for a work trip and, unfortunately, my experience was disappointing.

I was assigned a noisy first-floor room next to the lobby, elevators and main entrance, with constant music and foot traffic. The room also appeared to be an accessible room, which I hadn’t requested. I didn’t care about having a view or a premium room—I just wanted a quiet place to sleep. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a good night’s sleep during my entire stay because of the constant noise.

I asked to be moved, and the front desk told me to pack my belongings and leave them by the door before I left for work because they would switch my room the next morning. When I returned that evening, nothing had been done. I was simply told the hotel was full, even though I saw guests checking in and out throughout my stay. And weirdly enough, two of my colleagues who checked in after me were assigned rooms on higher floors, including the 10th floor with the ocean view…

The staff were friendly, but they weren’t
helpful at all. Every request I made—including a quieter room and, on my checkout day, a quiet place to work after checking out—was met with “not available.” Housekeeping also left a dirty cleaning cloth in my room one day.

The highlight of the hotel was the bar on 11th floor. The food, drinks, service, and views were all excellent.

The hotel is relatively close to La Jolla Shores, but you’ll need a car to get to everything.

Was running late getting to the hotel, and decided to call to make sure to check in on time. Was then informed by hotel that they \"unfortunately\" did not have the suite that we had reserved (on June 10 and confirmed on June 11th)...? They claimed that they did not have my contact information to let me know prior to us showing up. Obviously I cannot even \"cancel\" the reservation now, and will have to figure out how to get a refund on a suite that was paid for, but that we never got to enjoy on Fathers Day as planned! Shameful!

If you are a light sleeper and get room 1009, ask for a different room. The restaurant is directly above it, and chairs are being moved making noise until after midnight. Then around 3:30-4:30 am the food deliveries are made. Very loud rolling cart noises and boxes being dropped on the floor above. When I brought it up to the front desk, they gave me ear plugs. Great view, convenient location, but we didn't get much sleep!

I was disappointed with my stay at Hotel La Jolla. We booked a specific room in advance, but upon arrival we were told it was unavailable and were placed in a room with one king bed and a rolled-in temporary bed instead. That was very frustrating and not what we paid for.

I do want to acknowledge that the receptionist was kind and genuinely tried to help us. The manager was initially dismissive, which made the situation more upsetting. To their credit, they did move us into the correct room the following day, and that helped somewhat.

Unfortunately, the experience still affected the enjoyment of our trip. When guests reserve a specific room, they expect the hotel to honor that reservation from the start. I appreciate that the issue was eventually corrected, but I wish it had been handled more professionally from the beginning.

Hotel is newly remodeled in most areas of the property. The room could use a little more updating, but it’s still nice. For example, carpet and tile old. Shower tiles if you can get past those things, the location is fantastic. I do wish the bedding was a little more comfier- kinda old and worn. Not as crisp as other Curios. There is no valet. It’s $45 to park and although there is a gate, there is a sign that says not responsible for your car. The only reason I mention it is because the ad says secured parking. There is a $30 mandatory fee that you can use on the property. There aren’t a lot of choices, but I did use it to buy my kids food. The coffee was not great. Powder creamer and random coffee pods. There is a Starbucks next door so I walked over there and got instant coffee and purchased a mug because there are only paper Dixie cups which are kinda bad for hot beverages. I love my morning coffee so this was a must for me. Over all a good stay. The staff were nice. I didn’t have a bad experience with them like other reviews. The walls a really thin. Another review mentioned it sounded like tables were being moved above their room and mine sounded like that too. I got used to it. No I didn’t mention any of this to the front desk- I didn’t want to because I just wanted to enjoy my quick trip. If you want to be very close to LJ Shores and a clean room that’s modern, this is a great choice.

While in general the hotel merits the 4 star designation. The shower handle and the lack of water pressure control, combined with insufficient soap and towels are weak points associated with much cheaper hotels.
I found the beds also too soft.
They nickel and dimes you with additional fees on everything including on a prepaid breakfast that makes you end your stay sensing being cheated. (Be honest and add it to the room cost)!

My stay at this hotel was disappointing overall, especially given the price point and the expectations that come with the Curio Collection by Hilton name.

The most frustrating issue was the lack of transparency around fees. A $45 nightly parking charge was not disclosed during booking on Expedia, and I only learned about it after arriving at the property. Mandatory fees like this should be clearly stated upfront—discovering them later feels misleading and erodes trust.

Unfortunately, the experience went further downhill when I decided to shorten my stay. Despite checking out early, the hotel refused to provide any refund or adjustment, showing little flexibility or willingness to work with the guest. While I understand policies exist, the rigid handling—especially in light of undisclosed fees—left a very poor impression. For a Curio Collection property, I expected a more refined experience and better guest-focused service.

The location is convenient for La Jolla, but location alone doesn’t compensate for surprise charges and inflexible customer service. Had pricing been transparent and guest concerns handled with more consideration, my impression would have been very different.
