Good value nice hotel
Nice hotel. Conveniently located across the street from a large shopping mall that has every store imaginable and lots of places to eat. Free breakfast with made to order omelet bar. Clean and comfortable. Good value. We’ve stayed at a few different hotels with comparable pricing but this is the best one so far. We’ll definitely stay here again when we’re in the area.

Great place overall!
Wonderful hotel. Clean, great set up of rooms, dining area and the lobby. Great spread of food with variety of choices for everyone. Omelettes made to request was a great feature. Four free drinks per room per day during the hours of 5-6:30 pm with some snacks was also very nice
Staff were very friendly and pleasant
Checking out was very quick

Loved our stay!
We loved our stay at the Embassy Suites La Jolla. We were traveling for a soccer tournament for our daughter and couldn’t have picked a better location! The breakfast was exceptional each morning, the rooms and lobby are warm and inviting. It is situated right across from a beautiful mall which was perfect for some early school shopping. We hope to go back again soon!

Friendly staff
The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was large. The AC was extremely noisy and disruptive, but it was hard to sleep with it off since it was warm. Bring your ear plugs... Also, the toilet made a strange sound.

Parking rip off!
Great location opposite Westfield mall. And free brekker was decent. However the hotel is incredibly dated and charging $42 for overnight parking is utterly outrageous. Would not return.

Good stay
A long wait to check in, I was behind 4 people and only one person working. Couch and chair in room are uncomfortable. Bathroom door opens outward which creates issues with going back and forth between living area and bedroom. Otherwise, a very nice hotel, bed is comfortable, room has fridge and microwave. Coffee downstairs is very good. Had TV issues and maintenance was there right away. We will stay here again.
