Does not look anything like the pictures The rooms look nothing like the pictures. The bed was falling apart. The room smelled like mildew. The noise from the rooftop bar was nonstop. I left immediately and they still charged me. I would not recommend this place.

Nice place The renovated section of the hotel (The Pines) is nice and recently renovated. The Shores section where we stayed one night is outdated and a little run down. We stayed in The Pines three nights and were happy with our stay. The room had a nice balcony that looked onto the park and ocean across the street. Depending on the wind the air could be a little pungent with bird and seal smells. Overall very nice. A coffee shop is next to the lobby which was nice since there is no onsite restaurant. The area is very walkable and really no need for a car. So many shops and eateries nearby.

La Jolla Cove Hotel & Suites Fantastic place to stay! Close to the park, seal beach, restaurants and swimming. The staff is excellent, friendly and if you have a problem it is taken care of immediately. Highly recommended place to relax and enjoy the ocean.
