My stay at Residence Inn San Diego La Jolla was largely positive, highlighted by the cleanliness of the public areas and my suite. The staff were attentive and quick to respond to requests. However, the noise from the nearby road was quite distracting at times, impacting my comfort during the night.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at Residence Inn San Diego La Jolla. The location was great, being close to UCSD and shopping options, which made it convenient. However, the room I stayed in had several issues, including a malfunctioning air conditioning unit that was incredibly noisy at night. The staff was generally friendly, but the overall experience left much to be desired due to room maintenance problems. 😞
