    Friendly staff made it special

    The staff here are just incredible! They helped us out with some special requests during a family wedding, and wow, they were super nice and quick. The room was clean and the vibe was great. The bar area had awesome drinks too! Just wish the AC worked better, it got a bit stuffy at night.

    delicious breakfast
    cozy room
    unreliable wi-fi

    We had a lovely time enjoying the breakfast spread that included fresh waffles and cooling off at the sun terrace with a nice view. The cozy room was a real treat, especially with its comfy bed and amazing bathroom towels. I wish the Wi-Fi was a bit more reliable, but overall, it was a fantastic stay! ☀️

    Had an amazing group trip with friends. We visited the world-famous zoo and explored the attractions by the coast. The rooms were super clean, and we enjoyed the complimentary breakfast every morning! Plus, the staff was truly friendly and helpful, making our stay much more enjoyable!

    The fitness room was a bit small and had limited equipment, which didn't really cater to everyone's workout preferences.

    great stay but some minor improvements needed

    The room was spacious and well-maintained. The staff showed exceptional friendliness and were willing to assist at every turn.

    The breakfast area was a bit crowded during peak hours.

    Charming Stay with Delightful Dining Experience

    Enjoyed a spacious superior king room with a cozy atmosphere. The staff made us feel welcome, and Manhattan’s unique dishes, especially the Vermicelli Manhattan cocktail, were a highlight. Pro tip, save room for dessert and check the parking rates before arriving for a smoother stay.

    ideal location
    rattling air conditioning
    limited housekeeping options

    The Empress Hotel La Jolla offers a clean and well-appointed room, featuring a comfortable bed with soft pillows and a charming decor. The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, ensuring a seamless experience. The location is ideal, just a short walk from the beach, with plenty of dining and shopping options nearby. Breakfast included fresh waffles, and the turn-down service added a nice touch with chocolates on the pillow.

    The air conditioning unit rattled when set to high.
