Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Diego North, CA

8/10 Good

"If this hotel was budget-friendly I would give it 5 stars. (Still probably got a deal for the general area & time of year) Staff are very kind & helpful. Mike was very professional& polite; above average customer service for sure. Saul was warm & welcoming and went above & beyond to deliver excellent customer service. The only reason for things being just slightly different than expected: it’s a nice hotel & I bet the ambiance is amazing when they have the fire pit out front & fireplace going; but walking into my room (which was a nice room), noticed a musty smell. Asked if something could be sprayed in the room & he was right, it worked very well but next morning after going out & coming back in, I smelled it faintly again (may want to check filters in the air unit). 2. When I grabbed the hair dryer out of the bag to use; it was dirty & slightly sticky, w hair stuck to it. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay. They charge $10 for parking (not sure if that is per night or per stay, only stayed 1 night); was surprised bc it is nowhere near downtown San Diego, have never encountered that outside of downtown areas and there was ample parking all around. The jets work well in the hot tub, and for safety concerns: you need to use your active key to get in after hours or to go up the elevator"

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego La Jolla

6/10 Okay

"The furniture in the room was worn down the $46 for parking after you already paid for room is crazy … guest should get free parking with room key in my opinion … also while using the pool there where no towels available for guests for a good while overall it was ok the service in the front desk was good made check in and out a breeze"

Very relaxing place, Just booked our 4 days and 3 nights can’t wait to come back . Thank you again for all your hospitality 🙌"

La Jolla Cove Suites

4/10 Poor

"i need a bigger room so I got the terrace ocean view with two bedroom 2 bathrooms. i already knew that the room was outdated which was completely fine. I was definitely mislead because no where in the pictures did it say my room was 2 levels otherwise i would have never booked it with 2 kids under 2, huge hazard, my room had 4 levels of stairs to separate the two bedrooms. The unit had no ac throughout only ac in the 2 bedrooms; we were hot throughout the stay. There was no trashcan upstairs so we had to place our trash into a neat pile, even after i asked for one they never brought one. The description said stair access only which means stairs only to get to the room which was expected. That is a whole other story. The room is so far from the main lobby you have to get into the car and drive all the way around the block into a a tiny parking lot. To get to the beach you have to walk a good 10 minutes of stairs, going down is easy but going up forget it. The hotel in under renovation so my ocean view so when i walked out to the balcony it was to a huge covered construction building. which isn’t going to be complete for another few years by the way. There was also a wedding going on Friday and it’s my view from my balcony until 10pm. The only reason i didn’t put 1 star was because the room we chose was because we walked to all the restaurants which were all on prospect street where are room was and it was easy to communicate with the front desk"
