Kalia the front desk staff who checked me in was really kind, friendly, and helpful. She gave a lot of good recommendations and answered all my questions about the hotel and the La Jolla area. Variety of breakfast everyday was great, and the drinks at the lobby were a plus! Thank you for an amazing stay!

Nothing. All is good!

Great property in La Jolla.

8.0

Reserved a 2-bedroom suite, but was informed that that unit was not accessible by wheelchair. Front desk employees moved us to 2 studio units, which was the best possible solution. Breakfast was good, but I recommend going early, because every morning it seemed most people waited until just before breakfast ended at 9am, to eat. After a rocky start, our stay at Residence Inn La Jolla was great. The studios were spacious, clean, and each had a fully equipped kitchen. Location was great, and 15-20 minutes away from everything we wanted to see and do, such as Ocean Beach, Sea World, and the San Diego Zoo. Overall a very nice property which I would happily stay at again. Property was likely an apartment complex before being bought by Marriot.

Bathrooms were not ADA accessible, so I was unable to shower. Next time I will bring items that I use at home to help me into and out of the shower.
