The hype
Travelers love the chic 'California' decor and the rooftop dining, but often complain about the noise from the busy intersection below.
Hotel La Jolla, Curio Collection by Hilton
$200-400 / yö
Varaa tämä, jos You want the La Jolla zip code and ocean views without the $800/night beachfront price tag, and you have a car.
Miksi ihmiset rakastuvat sitä
- Penthouse restaurant 'Sea & Sky' offers some of the best sunset views in San Diego
- All rooms have private balconies, many with ocean peeks
- The $30 daily food & beverage credit (part of the resort fee) actually makes the fee worth it
Pikakatsaus: A stylish, renovated high-rise that feels like a hidden gem until you realize it's basically on a freeway on-ramp.
Arvioinut @shakespeareagency: I spent the weekend at Hotel La Jolla and it was the perfect reset. The room felt super chic, and having drinks at the Hiatus Lounge downstairs was such a vibe. Definitely ask for a high floor so you can see the ocean over the palm trees!

5 asiaa, jotka sinun pitää tietää ennen matkaasi
💡The 'ocean view' is technically true but often involves looking over a gas station and traffic lights.
💡The glass showers have a privacy curtain, but it's on the *outside*, meaning your roommate controls your destiny.
💡The elevators can be painfully slow during peak dinner hours because of restaurant traffic.
💡You can hear the freeway hum from the pool deck.
💡The walk to the beach is easy; the walk *back* is a sweaty uphill trek.
