Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa

Stayed over here as part of a buss trip. The grounds are nice and provide a relaxing vibe. During the chilly May month it was too cold to enjoy the evening more but I can imagine in the summer it must be rather nice. I loved the lobby layout, it looked fantastic with the fire in the middle. Staff were friendly everywhere. Parking expensive at almost 50$ to put just your car I find it exaggerated. There is breakfast available and a small shop for things on the go in case you need something. There was a wedding or something like that ongoing but that didn’t bother. I took in room dining some fish and it tasted great. For walking around you need your room card with you, as for every corridor you cross you need to scan your room card otherwise the door won’t open. A bit annoying if you need to cross 3-4 corridors and forgot your card (if one door was open or held open for you, and you realise after you forgot your card you are trapped in the middle). My biggest complaint however is that even though I had asked a quiet room, I was given a room facing the parking lot and not only that, the ventilation system in the room was so loud I have never had in any hotel. I slept with my noise cancellation headphones on. My colleagues in the neighbouring room had the same issue. Terrible and never again. Room 375.

Lovely property in the middle of the city with cute desert resort oasis vibes, but not a perfect stay.

The concierge and front desk was great (shout out to Kai for helpful service), and so were the staff at the Green Finch restaurant (particularly Dali). The food at that restaurant was really good too!

Unfortunately the walls are really thin in the rooms and we could hear our neighbors chatting late into the night. The bed was also too soft and the pillows for the king bed were very big and uncomfortable. Housekeeping staff were also not very friendly.

Because I had a poor nights sleep I probably wouldn’t stay here again, but I’d definitely do a day pass here to hang out and eat onsite.

Cute property. Good location. Average service. Room 265 felt damp & electric in room was not quite right (flickered). AC unit couldn't effectively regulate temp. They offer text-based concierge service - response via text was great, but not actual follow-through on the requests. Pillows were square bricks (ask for down pillows); in-room coffee was horrible - go to the coffee shop on property (good cappuccino). $23 smoothie from room service was $ but tasty. I had higher expectations for $500+/night, but I guess this is new norm. Small touches could really elevate the rooms.

Well-kept Grounds, beautiful garden and the friendly staff. My daughter and I enjoy the stay at the Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa. Both the breadfast offerings and the dining restraurant Mustangs & Burros were delicious. The hotel staff are really awesome! Before our arrival my email request was answered very friendly and on time. My daughter forgot her wallet in the dining restraurant and we are so gratful that the reception lady of Mustang& Burros and Drake at the front desk helped us to find it back. Natalia was very patient to explain us everything during the check-in and made the checkout very efficietly. Thank you for a great stay!
