Top Hotels Near Birch Aquarium in La Jolla from AU$275

"The ac didn’t work at all and having to pay for valet was annoying probably wouldn’t stay here again "

"The staff was very helpful and the location was great for the beach. We didn't try the hotel restaurant but the outdoor restaurant seating has a beautiful view of the beach. Check-in and check-out was easy. The maid service was great, too. The room was quiet and the little patio overlooking the courtyard was pleasant (complete with a friendly seagull we name "Ernie". As of April 2026, the hotel was under construction so that made access and using the underground garage ($45 per day) a little difficult since the access road was sometimes partially blocked due to construction. The pool was closed due to construction. The interior of our room in the yet-to-be-rebuilt part of the hotel was dated (think 1970's). There was an odor as we entered that smelled musky but later was fine as we ran the A/C and opened the patio door. There was only one electrical outlet easily available, so I was glad I had my 12 foot extension cord for the CPAP and phone charging. The shower was located over the bathtub (old style) and the faucet was always leaking."

"Nice location next to UCSD. Staff very kind and helpful."

"Very minimal amenities. No hot tub."

"The hotel has a great central location, and the staff were very nice and helpful. On-site parking was very convenient, which made our stay easier. The hotel itself is a bit old, but it is currently undergoing renovation, so it should improve even more. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and a good experience."

"We will definitely book here again."

"This place has the greatest staff. Checking in is always so easy and friendly. The location is perfect. It’s walking distance to the beach and many restaurants, there’s no need to drive anywhere once you get there. This place is like a living experience, not like a hotel experience. I enjoy every stay all the time. I have stayed at practically all the other hotels around and I found this to be my go to place all the time from now on."

"Included valet parking, friendly staff and a great restaurant and bar onsite with a great patio. "
