Top Geisel Library Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn San Diego Del Mar

8/10 Good

"Everything was good, but I thought the breakfast lacked options and was overpriced. I typically have a small breakfast, but the only option I saw was the $24 buffet. I ended up paying this for four slices of french toast and a little fruit."

La Jolla Cove Suites

10/10 Excellent

"I knew, in advance, about the construction. Upgraded a bit and stayed in a room facing La Jolla Cove; nice setting despite the construction noise at times. Cool “see-through” shower! Not really but close."

Inn By The Sea La Jolla

8/10 Good

"Great location, close to beach and shops. Only negative was we had a room near the lobby, so it was a little noisy at night."

Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious rooms with a very very comfortable bed. On site parking available is important."

Sheraton La Jolla Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean. I did not like that there really was no place to hang clothing in the in the bathroom and the hook for the bath towel was difficult to reach from the shower. The room decor was pleasant. However, there was a lot of traffic noise. The pool and garden area was lovely. The restaurant was very good, although I felt the breakfast prices were a little high. The staff there was great. I do not feel you should be charging $30 a day for parking. There were a lot of empty spaces in that lot. Convenient location to the La Jolla beaches. I like that you’re not located in a congested high-rise area. Your front desk staff was very friendly, and one woman knew a lot about the area however, several others were unfamiliar with local attractions, when questioned about directions on sites to see. I would stay at this site again."

La Jolla Shores Hotel

8/10 Good

"The shuttle service could have been better"

Homewood Suites by Hilton San Diego-Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was awesome. Staff was very helpful."

Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego La Jolla

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the housekeeping staff did such a great job making sure that the room was cleaned regularly. The Front desk staff were all very helpful, friendly and very professional. Breakfast was very average but we are not talking about breakfast at places like this being gourmet, etc. Parking was okay and it does cost $30 per car per night. The pool was nice. The gym was adequate. There was an ADA elevator that went from the lobby to the gym level but it didn't work and I was told that it was used for storage. Seems like this needs to be addressed. Overall it was a pleasant stay."

The Lodge at Torrey Pines

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. I do not like the 3 or 5% surcharges and I have to make a point of saying that"
