Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was the perfect place to stay for us-many thanks to Matt for helping us out with a tricky 3rd party booking issue. Staff was so helpful. Kids loved being able to go play in park across street and go to swimming pool. So close to great family restaurants (including good options for a little one with Celiac disease) We hope to come back someday!

Super sweet stuff, excellent location, nice (cotton, very thankful about that) bedding and good soaps. Details that one could value in a stay away from comfortable home - are all perfect, the vibe is more on a romantic/bohemian side, then on a glamorous, push side, and the rate reflects that, Oh yes, the location, the location is right there, next to where the baby seals do their cute funny stuff, which is such pleasure to watch. Could not imagine a more romantic getaway with husband.

A friend and I stayed in joint rooms for a week in Jan. The rooms are updated with incredible view. A minute walk to the seashore watching seals and wave was our daily routine. We loved sitting at the balcony every morning enjoying the ocean view. The downtown is just a minute drive with all kinds of shops and restaurants. We had such a great time. Thanks

We selected this hotel because of its location .. which is superb. We were family of 4 and booked a Pine suite with sea view. We were expected to have separate seating area but instead there are 2 rooms with interconnected door and only one had sea view while other had a car park view and was quite grim. Furthermore we were not told that there is no elevator that goes directly to New area as this is still incomplete... Instead you need to take elevator to 4th floor and than you have several steps (appx 10) in order to get to your room. There is no concierge to take your luggage so it is not good if you have back issues or if you have any injuries. I wish we were told about this upfront. The sunrise and sunset from room with a view were magical.

I have stayed here on 3 different occasions with the first time coming with my husband and stayed in a cute, quaint and affordable room and enjoyed it so much we decided to return within a month with our 2 children since they were still offeeing winter savings. I really appreciate that there are quite a few different styles of rooms depending on your budget and needs. We booked room 800 that has a king and queen bed in a split studio. Super spacey with a HUGE patio that overlooks the hotel in the direction of the ocean. Gorgeous view! Mini fridge and microwave included in this room but I believe some units have kitchenettes, (or maybe some with nothing at all!) Two great decks, one overlooking the ocean and the other has a swimming pool/jacuzzi (which was not heated when we were

Matt was so helpful at the check in. He had great customer service and really helped me with my bags and giving recommendations of the surrounding La Jolla area. He was also so helpful and caring the couple checking in front of me that had somehow had an issue with their room booking reservation. He's great!

No words for how awful this experience was. Got in late night before Alanis Morisette concert. Bathroom was small, old, chipping and stains on tub and toilet, smelled, towels bedding old and torn, on and on. We expressed our displeasure, but were told no place to move to. Well, fitfully we got to sleep, knowing we could sleep in......until jarring insessant jackhammer noises coming right thru the walls and ceiling pummeled us out of bed. That was it. We went downstairs to demand our money. We were refused by the manager one of the 2 days. We got all of 8 hours of pure misery. We left , never to return, promising that the we would dedicate our lives so that this sort of greedy assault(robbery) would never happen again to some hapless person(s) who look at those misleading

I stayed at the La Jolla Cove Hotel and had a great time. The room was really nice with a beautiful ocean view. The location was perfect and the staff were the best! Everyone was so friendly from check in to check out. The manager was really great and even the housekeepers were nice. Would definitely recommend.

Staying at the hotel now. Do not stay book stay at this hotel. Basically you're staying in a construction zone. Construction noise all day. Staying in the newly renovated Pines building which we told was "complete". It is not. Also, our room has numerous outlets and light switches that are not functioning. Maintenance came to help. Couldn't fix it. His comment was "huh....I didn't design the room". Front desk staff is defensive and unapologetic. Can't blame them but .....booked by phone --they certainly could have been more forthcoming about the condition of the building. Feel like I've been scammed. Again --- DO NOT STAY HERE!!!
