Came back for our Anniversary get-awat

We'd stayed here several years ago for a business conference. The great location, fantastic room, and excellent Staff left an impression. So we picked Empress Hotel for our Anniversary week-end getaway. It was even better than our first stay. Conveniently located within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and parks. We'll be back!!

8/10 Very good

I liked the ambience and easy check in. It was a nice stay for the event we were there for and was walking distance from the beach. The breakfast was alright , the juice machine wasn’t working and my son likes apple juice. Eggs, sausage , bread and bagels were easy serve and close to the room to eat and relax .

Wonderful!

Staff were very helpful, the hotel was clean, and the room was great! I read about other hotels in the are being very outdated. Our room felt new and modern. They had bathrobes for us, the bed was comfy, and the bathroom shower was great. We received complimentary late check out of 12pm. This was truly appreciated since we were out late for a wedding and my husband had some work he needed to do before we left. Overall, I'm very happy with the quality and value of our stay here.

Refuge in La Jolla

Really great experience here. My family and I were evacuees in the recent LA fires and needed to get someplace safe, comfortable and in clean air. This checked all the boxes. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I booked this room based on its reviews and walkability score. You are minutes from the beach here and also among the shops and boutiques. There’s a juicery and coffee shop near by. Lots of great restaurants in the vicinity too. Plus it’s dog friendly! We have already booked our next stay.
