Pala Casino Spa And Resort

4/10 Poor

"The people working at the restaurant were very rude"

Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area

4/10 Poor

"We chose this hotel mainly because of the water slide, but unfortunately it has been out of service since yesterday afternoon with no prior notice. The room also had an overwhelmingly strong disinfectant smell that made the stay very uncomfortable. We were told we were being moved to an “upper level,” but the room actually felt more like a semi-basement, and there was almost no cell phone signal. On top of that, the hotel Wi-Fi was completely down from last night through this morning. For a family-oriented hotel, a 10 AM checkout time is also surprisingly inconvenient. Overall, the experience did not match the expectations or the price paid."

DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego - Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"Nice property. Pool was heated which was a plus since it was kinda cloudy. There was some construction going on in the parking lot and it was a little tough to find a spot in the evening. Other than that, it was a great stay and would definitely come back"

La Jolla Cove Suites

4/10 Poor

"Back to back wedding music to 10pm on Sunday and Monday nights (plus noise from inebriated guests afterward) was not ideal for our 5am wakeup times the next mornings. Lobby staff were unable to inform us of parking options, valet staff were misinformed about rates of the building they suggested using around the block ($60/night rather than the $30 they thought). AC system was not functioning the first night, allowing the room to exceed 80 degrees. A reset solved the issue, thankfully, but be aware the diagnostics on the control screen don't necessarily tell you what may be going wrong. The hotel website does mention the renovation (though not the 7am-3pm schedule and degree of noise) but we were unaware having booked through expedia and not the website - that's on us. Location and room were pleasant enough, but if you're looking for quiet maybe look elsewhere."

San Diego Marriott La Jolla

8/10 Good

"It was a nice hotel in a good neighborhood. The mall was close to the hotel which was nice. The parking was $10 dollars higher per day than when I booked. Also they do not clean the rooms everyday unless you request it ,which would have been nice to know at check-in. We came back to the hotel and had to request for them to empty the trash and to get clean towels."

The Seabird Ocean Resort & Spa, Part of Destination Hotel by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at this hotel for 3 days and 2 nights with family and we all loved it. Close to the beach, restaurants and stores. It’s very clean and nice interior. We will definitely come back to this hotel."
