“Can’t say enough about the service from both the staff and management. Everyone extremely helpful and accommodating from the moment we checked in. The servers at the pool recognized us from our stay last year a food and drink service was quick. We will definitely be staying at The Lodge At Torrey Pines again soon.”

“Our room was clean, the check-in was smooth, the staff was friendly and we were walking distance to many restaurants and the beach. The parking was tight with very little spots but we were luckily able to get a parking spot every time. We will be staying here again in the future.”

“I love this hotel so much, its my favorite place in all of San Diego. Every aspect of the room (which is a small apartment) is so comfortable--the living room, kitchen, bed is divine, shower is hot! I am able to get computer work done with free wifi. In the morning, birds through the windows. I sleep so well. With the real kitchen I make whatever food I want, with restaurants a block away I don't have to. Beach 1-2 shirt blocks away. So friendly and helpful and welcoming. I feel so rejuvenated after a few days here, away from my hectic normal life, while only steps from parks, beaches, ocean, restaurants, cafe, fun.”

“I had an absolutely amazing stay at the Grande Colonial easily a five-star experience from start to finish. The location is unbeatable, right next to the water with stunning views and everything you could possibly need within walking distance. Being able to step outside and instantly be in the heart of it all made the trip so much more enjoyable.

One of the standout perks was the fantastic valet service, especially with free overnight parking, which made everything seamless and stress-free. I also loved the complimentary bikes, they were perfect for cruising along the beach and taking in the scenery at a relaxed pace.

The hotel itself has such a welcoming and charming atmosphere. The pool area was ideal for unwinding, whether it was a quiet morning or a relaxing afternoon break. And the on-site, award-winning restaurant was incredible delicious food, great ambiance, and top-tier service without even having to leave the property.

What really made the stay exceptional, though, was the customer service. Every staff member I encountered was friendly, attentive, and genuinely committed to making the experience memorable.

Between the unbeatable location, thoughtful amenities, and outstanding service, this hotel truly has it all. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect coastal getaway.”

“We had an amazing stay at the Empress Hotel. Derek Edwards greeted us upon arrival, and he was fantastic — truly a standout leader with an exceptional team. Every part of our visit was enjoyable, and the service exceeded our expectations. This is absolutely a five‑star hotel. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

“The perfect location, 2 min walk to the beach. Great costumer service. Very clean room. There’s no elevator but they’ll help you to carry your luggage. It’s only 2 levels hotel. I really enjoyed my stay.”

“The hotel was in a nice area. The rooms were pretty clean with the exception of the floor. The floor was a little bit dirty. I suggest you wear slippers. But overall, it was a nice hotel. I would stay there again.”

“Scripps Inn is in La Jolla / San Diego and right across the street from the beach. The building is a little older but our room was very nice with a comfortable bed, nice kitchen, dining room & living room. The inn offer plenty of parking with combined front and back parking. And if you know anything about La Jolla in the summer, you're lucky to get a good parking spot. The one small complaing I have is that there are trees obstructing the best views of the ocean. The rooms are dog friendly too. Lots of sights to see up and down the coast that I will show in some of the photos.”

“It's in a beautiful setting and the inn itself is very nice. It just needs to be updated, especially because of the price point. There are signs of wear that should be addressed, like in the tiny bathroom - the shower rod paint worn down, the mineral deposits on the fixtures (get a water softener) but the towels are great. High end hotels would clean this up. Plus the couch is not comfortable at all, the furniture looks worn. There are little things that would really make this a desired destination, other than the setting. The service is wonderful though with a free shuttle to the town, as needed. The rooms are noisy, but the bed is comfortable.”

“Nice and clean place, friendly staff. Has fridge and microwave. The staff tried to get me a non pet room once she found out I don't have a dog with me. The only thing I don't like is the room is not soundproofed.”

“While I had a good experience, liked the location, and think the staff were in general super helpful and responsive, it felt like there could be more events or amenities, and the food could have been better for the price. At night I felt like there’s nothing to do other than walking around or getting drinks. Also we were lucky that our neighbors were quiet - I do feel like it was extra not sound proof and you can hear everything in the hallway. And the water from the water station tasted pretty bad to me - might be that I’m used to better water quality in the east coast”

“From Rudy at the front gate to Adrian checking us in the first night and Amanda & Tony helping accommodating us for our unexpected stay everyone was helpful, amazing, and would highly recommend staying here. We had a beach house that wasn't ready for our arrival on a Saturday, found an online booking available that night after driving 6 hours and then they were able to help us per day until we were able to get access to our beach house. They were all so helpful and a pleasure. Appreciate Amanda, Adrian, Tony and Rudy. We will be staying here in the future and planning to stay here vs beach house next time.

2026 Update: almost stayed again but our beach house ? was perfect ?- however Dylan in reservations was awesome ? grace too and understood recent cancellation prior to stay so fees weren’t incurred”

“We got lucky on an almost 50% discounted price - this hotel would normally be way out of our price range. We skipped the $42 overnight parking and parked on an adjacent street. The hotel advertised ocean views, but there were none from the third floor - however what we did get from the third floor is incredible views of hummingbirds in the trees; loved it. I’ve seen other reviews about the elevators; as of our stay July 2025, only one of the two elevators was working and it was very slow. We were able to take the stairs, but if your party has any mobility issues or if you’re on a higher floor, this could be a big problem. We lucked into a corner room with two balconies; could not have been happier to enjoy the ocean breeze. Loved the room: soft mattress, lighting, and shower. Just a heads up that the street noise was substantial; I would recommend bringing earplugs if you want to sleep in. Not sure what was up on the street, but it sounded like construction and/or sanitation trucks off and on from about 6:30am until we checked out around 9am (the sliding glass balcony doors were closed). Loved that we could walk down to the beach and restaurants.”

“The ad does not lie, this is literally across the street from the beach, in a beautiful setting in La Jolla. Even with ongoing renovation work, this is a great place to stay. We very much enjoyed the 2-bedroom suite and the private pool.”
