Everything was clean and the room was very nice. The best part of course was the view! I had the Pines Ocean View Room that looked out onto the park and beach. I was a tad miffed with the $45 a night parking, however the valets were so nice and quick with getting me access to my car, I got over it. This was my first solo vacation and I felt completely safe walking everywhere in the area.

First let’s start with the room itself. The room felt bland. It had a mini fridge that barely cooled, a tv that didn’t work, and no microwave (standard in most hotels but for a $$$$ hotel, I would think it would come with one) to heat our left overs. The shelving looked to be falling apart. There was also an ice bucket but no ice machines? Not sure how that works.
Second, the stay itself. The hotel does not have a parking lot. You are forced to use their valet parking which charges $45 dollars per night and still expect tip.
There were two separate instances of workers walking into our room while we were in there. First occurrence was on the first night there well after room service hours. Second occurrence was on our last day before checking out. When we asked the front desk for a manager the, the man there stated he was the manager, I informed him that we were unhappy with our stay. After explaining what happened he tried to make less of the situation, eventually apologizing and reluctantly offered to removed two nights of our forced valet parking ($90).
Third, the hotel. For a $$$$ there is no breakfast included. There is a gym and pool that they use but it is in another building in the back and you need to get permission to use it.

Our stay at La Jolla Cove Suites was nothing short of amazing. Everything was perfect! The ocean view from the room was breathtaking, and the proximity to the beach is unbeatable.

It was so convenient for the kids to play on the sand and walk right back to the hotel in seconds. We also loved the charming little cafe on the first floor—it was the perfect spot to start our mornings. We had such a wonderful time here and will definitely be back. Highly recommended for families!

The room was incredibly outdated and dingy - stains on all the furniture and carpet, very musty smelling. The front desk was very friendly and helpful, but we had to call and ask for towels, then had to request housekeeping, which didn’t replenish basic supplies like toilet paper - which we had to call and ask for. We weren’t warned that our door/room faced a wine bar and had a noisy crowd outside our room every day. The location was the redeeming quality of this hotel and room, but I can’t imagine staying here again after everything else was less than ideal.

Very clean and brand new room, but without that toxic brand new room smell. Extremely melt into the pillow mattress feel in a good way. Loved the room! A bit funky exterior, but because they are slowly remodeling and did not impact the stay. Unfortunately the rooftop was closed due to a wedding, so I can't comment on that. We were there for the view, but ended up really loving the room and the access to the Cove and the restaurants.

Pros: separate room for kids to sleep in while adults are awake/sleeping in main room was really helpful! The balcony was nice to have, decent sized, amazing view but frequented by seagulls.

Cons: parking is not included was really expensive but if you don’t pay for parking you’ll never find anything else close by. There is an elevator which is nice to have but it’s sketchy at best. The room was incredibly humid! We had lots of condensation on the windows and there was a mold problem in the extra room. The carpet in the room was DISGUSTING! It was very dirty and stained. Linens were stained and dingy. The shower barely worked. You could barely get the door to the balcony open or closed it was so rusted! Several light switches were nonfunctional therefore leaving the room incredibly dark!

Overall, way overpriced for what we got. But we clearly paid for the view and the spare room. The pictures online make it look like a nice place but what we saw in pictures is NOT what we got. The place is outdated and not kept up with.

The ocean view is more so a view of the cove.

The AC system, it’s a bit weird. It looks like a simple digital panel to adjust however I ended up having to call the front desk for help. That’s my only complaint.

We were asked to upgrade our room for $60 to the new renovated side, which is the room that Expedia sold me. That was a bait and switch. Expedia shows only pictures of the renovated side but sells you the older section. Than when you get there you are asked to pay more for what you ordered. Bad business Expedia

The room had a beautiful view. However, it was a little outdated. The pictures showed the room at lot nicer than it actually was. During my stay there was a party going on, on the rooftop. Which was not that big of a deal as we were very tired and went right to sleep. However, I think things like this should be disclosed as you are booking a room.

I was very disappointed, the pictures of the room online to what you really get it's totally the opposite. False advertisement. We got an ocean view room but it was so old and run down. The carpet was stain and sticky because it was so old so disgusting to walk on it. It was so out dated, it was a green lavender color. The room had a dirty smeel. I got some bed bites at night. I didn't complain because we got there for the wedding changed and left. Then we got back late night from wedding I was just too tire. It was only my daughter and myself I didn't feel safe the hall light wasn't working at night so when we got to our room it was so dark we couldn'teven see where the key went into the door. The restroom sink looked so dirty. I didn't even showered because nothing looked clean. Never in my life have I experienced such a rundown stayed. Motel 6 have better rooms than the one we got.

This hotel looks nothing like the photos AND neither Expedia nor the actual hotel website say anything about a new and an old building. I spent a ridiculous amount of money on this hotel. Originally, I was going to stay with my boyfriend for 6 days, 5 nights. However, after 1 night, I went to the front desk and filed a complaint about the misleading nature of the reservation. I was informed there was nothing that could be done except comping my parking. It was also not disclosed that two wedding parties had blocked out the entire renovated portion of the hotel, therefore, not allowing room to move into a better room. Then the following morning, I checked out and switched to a better, nicer, and cheaper hotel in the area. It was not clean. Sheets were dirty, shower was clearly not scrubbed prior to our check in. There were no amenities at all. Noise level was fine-- got to hear the sea lions yap which was kind of sweet. The location is convenient but that's about it. The hotel also did not take accountability for the misleading marketing by telling me \"There was no statement declaring everything was renovated.\" Which is valid because that's not what I said. I stated only photos of the new building were posted. It's one thing for the room to be old, but it was just unmaintained and for the money it was such a waste. I actually saved money by checking out of here and moving somewhere else. There was nothing done to remedy the situation. It was either I check out and cause stress

On check in I was told that I had booked through a third party site and the room i chose required walking up many stairs. I climbed 50+ steep stairs with my luggage with no offer of help. The room smelled strongly of mold. After 36 hours, even my clean clothes reeked of the smell. Stayed 2 nights, only showing up to sleep because it was not a comfortable place to be. There were weddings both nights (Sunday and Monday) with extremely loud music until 10pm. Would not stay here again.

Beware what you are booking. They have a non renovated original side of the hotel that is the worse stay I’ve received in my life. They do not provide pictures on Expedia of that side. When I originally booked my stay, I clicked on the “renovated” side. Upon checking in, the person told me I chose the unremodeled side when I booked, I told her there’s no way. She said we can switch you tomorrow but we are all booked out of the nicer side. I was horrified. I spent so much money. We checked in and I was immediately sick over the smell in the room. It looked worse than a motel 6 and I’ve stayed at motel 6 before. I told my children to keep their shoes on as the carpet looked black and smelled like it’s never been changed or cleaned. My daughter is little so she took her shoes off her feet were immediately black. I had her stand in the bath while I bathed her and carried her to her bed. The sheets were also dirty and the bathroom was horrific. I immediately texted them that I need to be switched or just get my money back. They couldn’t switch my room that night but did switch me the next afternoon. The difference in rooms was black and white!! The renovated side was amazing! Super clean, nice, and overall a different vibe. Just be careful and make sure you choose “the pines renovated” when you book. I remember doing that but got played.

It is an older building so it does show its age. They are remodeling…unfortunately the room next to us was one of them. They start at 8 am. The bed was terrible. We couldn’t connect to their internet. The staff was nice.

I took it out to rince out the dust in the shower and after drying it, discovered that the AC unit was covered with mold.
I showed the pictures to the front desk and was moved to the newer section of the hotel but my GF and I had breathing complications and coughing for days after leaving.
