Top University of California Hotel Reviews

Homewood Suites by Hilton San Diego-Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay. The rooms were big and had a great view of the fireworks from Disneyland. We enjoyed the breakfast and happy hour service. The place is a bit far from walking to Disneyland. However, there is a paid shuttle service which can be spotty at times. Overall, we had a great stay."

La Jolla Shores Hotel

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed the beach access and pool. The location was great Ames everything was clean. It would have been nice to know more about the hotel amenities.. ordering drinks poolside or how the towel return worked. However we really enjoyed our stay and were there for the beach and we definitely took advantage of that! I would stay here again."

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Sorrento Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel."

La Jolla Cove Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The view was amazing! Housekeeping staff was excellent. The property was centrally located and close to shops and restraunts."

Mid-Century Modern Oasis in La Jolla Shores: Steps to Beach, Fun for Families!

10/10 Excellent

"Pure family vacation perfection. My kids couldn’t stop talking about the “tree house” place and kept begging to return. Our second time staying at the house did not disappoint. Our host truly went above and beyond when the restaurant valet lost our car key and we realized we were locked out since the house key was attached to the lost car key! Rachelle made a stressful situation feel like a breeze and was so warm and responsive. Thank you for another fantastic stay!"

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."
