I really enjoyed this hotel. We went over Mother's day weekend and I thought it was lovely. The grounds are beautiful and very serene. The restaurant El Adobe was fun and the food was tasty and the atmosphere was lively! I also had room service for breakfast one morning and it was the fastest room service I have ever had.... more

Stayed here for 3 nights in February. Overall a nice stay - checkin folks were courteous. The grounds are quite beautiful and peaceful. Price seemed high for the time of year I was staying and the room I got - a view of the busy Torrey Pines road. The room was fairly spacious however. Ate appetizers and had drinks at... more

Like others have said in their reviews, the hotel property is lovely, and the rooms are clean (but just average). My major complaint with the hotel was the extremely expensive "extras". Particularly the food, and services. I had booked a spa package, and was told that the price included everything. However, when we arrived we were told that the advertised... more

I stayed here when attending a week long executive seminar at UC San Diego. It was very convenient for the university. I did not rent a car because it is hardly worth it when you are holed up in class 10 hours a day; however as other reviewers have mentioned, the hotel is pretty far from other restaurants. As such,... more

Clean, beautiful, friendly place to stay in La Jolla. We were there for the US Open. You would think with the crowds service would have been questionable. However, the staff were friendly and helpful. I would stay again without thinking twice. more

I appreciated that this hotel was away from LaJolla proper as there are many features of the area that are more convenient as a result. There is mandatory valet parking at this property which is inefficient at peak... more

My husband and I were visiting family in LaJolla in late May of 2008. We also had our 7 month old along for the trip as well. When booking, I actually found a much cheaper rate on hotels.com then what was published on Estancia's website. I called the hotel to cancel and they honored the hotels.com rate, so make sure... more

We stayed at The Estancia over Mother's Day wkend. We have family near by and initially were very pleased by the hotel. The grounds are lovely and the room was clean (at check in), beds comfortable. However the customer service is strange - very very attentive to unable to get housekeeping to clean our room before 4 pm no matter... more

Stayed on a corporate business trip with meetings, group meals, etc. I had half a day free which I spent at the lovely pool relaxing with an excellent lunch poolside. Overall a nice, quiet and elegant hotel. Three main issues: 1) Not really in La Jolla - it's a 10-15 min cab ride (~$15-20) into town. The hotel is in... more
