10/10 Excellent
"Great price if you're in town for Del Mar. The hotel sits on the east side of the I-5 highway, so you're close to Del Mar beach (2 miles), without having to pay Del Mar beach hotel prices. The suites are roomy enough to accommodate travel with kids. The kitchenette is invaluable for the same reason, with fridge, microwave, stove top, plates, and silverware. The complimentary hot breakfast is good (eggs, bacon, waffle maker, etc.) and the hotel sits next to its sister property (Hilton Garden Inn) which has more dining options. There's a coffee roaster (Mostra) across the parking lot. The pool, hot tub, and fitness room are all adequate. The staff are friendly. The rooms are clean, although we found a tennis ball behind the foldout couch. All-in-all, we had a great stay for a great price, given our budget."

La Jolla Riviera Inn

La Jolla Riviera Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The room was a quaint 60's or 70's converted apartment. It had a full kitchen with gas stove! There was a lot of room, and separate bedrooms. We were a block away from burgers, icecream, Italian, sushi, Mexican and standard high end American cuisine. I could hand the kids some money and let them wander, because it is such a safe area. We absolutely loved the stay! It was an easy two block walk to boogie boarding, kayaking, and snorkeling. The center of La Jolla proper is a ten minute drive, or a quick Uber. When you leave the village it is a fifteen minute drive inland to the big box stores. (helpful hint: when you exit the hotel and turn left, it is a block and a half to the hidden public access easement to the snorkeling beach!) Great staff, great location, and a relaxing time. Our new favorite place!"
