Reviews

The four-star Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa has been rated by Google users as 4.5/5 Excellent from 79 reviews. One former guest said the hotel was a nice little hideaway at affordable prices for the area and that the food was excellent. The same guest made a joke about the fact the waitress gave him his drink with two paper straws and when he asked why he was told they cannot use plastic straws in California and the paper straws disintegrate before you finish the drink.

Another guest said they enjoyed their stay and that the hotel was convenient to the beach and had excellent restaurants. The staff was said to be very pleasant and friendly. A TripAdvisor member spent two nights at the hotel for a business conference and said every aspect of the hotel, from check-in to check-out was exceptional.

However, another guest complained about a staff member at the Hotel, saying the masseuse was very rude to her. She complained because the guest was not relaxing during the massage. However, other members of staff were friendly and professional.
