The manager (I forgot his name), but he was a thin hispanic man (worked on Friday 7/17 at 4:30pm), did an excellent job of accommodating our needs. I even saw him picking up trash at times to help maintain the property. The breakfast staff was also so so accommodating. Would 100% stay here again and recommend it!!!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The suite had a full kitchen stocked with dishes, silverware, and pans, along with a dishwasher, and an ice maker in the fridge! There were 2 levels with 2 bathrooms with plenty of room for the 5 of us to spread out. Very important with 3 kids and 2 adults. The kids enjoyed the pool as it was only 5ft at the deepest so they felt more comfortable. Breakfast service was a nice variety, and the cold brew coffee was a lovely addition. All in all, 5*.

I stayed at the Residence Inn La Jolla for three nights with my girlfriends while visiting San Diego. Overall, the stay was just okay and did not quite meet expectations given the price.

The location was one of the best parts of the hotel. It was conveniently located near the freeway, making it easy to get around and explore the area. The coffee was also decent and a nice way to start the day.

However, the hotel felt overpriced for what it offered. The food was underwhelming, and our room was not as clean as it should have been upon arrival. The property and guest rooms are also showing their age and could benefit from updates and renovations. While the hotel advertises spacious suites and amenities, the overall condition of the room did not match the premium price we paid.

Overall, the location was convenient, but between the high cost, mediocre food, cleanliness concerns, and dated rooms, I would likely consider other options for a future trip to La Jolla.

Also, using Google Maps within the Expedia app takes you to the wrong place. Apple Maps was correct.

The setup of this property is troublesome for those with disabilities. My family of 7 required a family suite. The only family suites available are on the second floor, with no elevator access. Not a great fit when you have a child/children who have problems with stairs. It is also frustrating that the rooms specifically for larger parties, who will most likely have more luggage, are only available on the second floor.

The additional charges such a parking at $28.00/day should have been included. This resulted in more than 10% increase in the costs of the room. Adding such charges, after stating that all taxes and fees were included, is intentionally misleading.

Room could use some updates. The staff was just awesome. From the check in to the breakfast crew. Especially the young girl from St. Louis!!

Room was “generally” clean but as dated as this place is - should feel thoroughly cleaned. Old hair stuck on the walls. Time to clean the carpet. Need to wash down the walls. Definitely will NOT be returning. Not to mention we had issues with the TV… the maintenance guy said he probably just needed to replace it… he “fixed” it but by the time the problem returned, maintenance was gone for the day so that meant another night with a static TV. Two stars ONLY because the bed was extremely comfortable!

The room was clean.
The staff is great and helpful.
The rooms were spacious, and having a full kitchen was great. Some would say it might feel slightly outdated, but I like a retro style.
Things changed since my last visiting San Diego (was there in 2009). It is not the hotel, it is the general experience as \"money grab\" somehow became a norm in California. 28 USD a night for parking of a rental car on the property, and it is not even a downtown of SD... Used to be free. But, again, it is the general impression from California, not the hotel itself.
I would recommend the hotel.

As all Marriott’s this property was well situated within driving distance to anything you’d need. The rooms are large and well laid out. The kitchen could be better equipped with cooking utensils though.
Parking is very expensive.

Convenient if you have a car. Parking fee was somewhat hidden during booking - but might have been my mistake for not actively looking for it. Based on the Motel style layout I'd assumed parking was free/included.

Near a college, people cut through the property to access anothef street. We paid for parking but often couldnt find it near our unit due to putside people trying to escape paid parking at campus nearby. As we were checking out i watched it happen.

Room was clean but smelled like a sewer.

Wife was getting surgery at Scripps nearby, this was our home base for 10 days. Warning ADA rooms have King bed, I ended up sleeping on the hide a bed in the couch ... worst bed ever. Other than that it was a good place for us to wait for her surgery and to stay a couple of days after the surgery. Super dog friendly.

room was spacious, nice kitchen. bathroom was very small, could not close the door without moving in a corner. housekeeping did not empty the trash in the kitchen, clean the refrigerator (shelves were wet), dispose of water bottle before we moved in. we notified the reception, but it was too late for us to get a new room.
The breakfast was good. we were charged for parking, this was noyt disclosed by expedia.
