I have mixed feelings about the hotel. I have stayed here at least fifteen times. It has gone downhill a lot about monitoring the groups of drunk people out by the fire pit or people partying on their decks. The noise really carries to all the rooms and it makes it almost impossible to enjoy the wonderful views or enjoy the fresh air. That makes me question recommending it. Some people like catching up on sleep while on vacation, but that isn't very possible here. The overall vibe is noisy and that is catchy.

The rooms are a little musty and are in need of a deep cleaning. And the doors slam really loudly. This can be a bit much early or late. And again, never mind getting caught up on sleep.

It is a very busy place with many conventions and groups. It is not easy to have a quiet romantic getaway. There is a lot of noise.

That said, it is a spectacular location. The beds are comfortable. The staff is excellent. The food at the Toreyana Grille is good. And we love using the Spa at Torrey Pines next door. The beach in Del Mar is close and so nice.

The grounds are breathtaking. It is like a Botanical Garden. The pool area is gorgeous.

So depending on your type of travel, and if noise bothers you, this may just be the ideal La Jolla location for you.
