The Hotel staff is exceptional , I made the mistake of booking a handicap room I called downstairs and they were kind enough to switch us to another room . Rooms are clean , beds are very comfortable , decor is a bit outdated but over all it was nice hotel . Parking was a bit expensive $45 over night , I feel that should be included . I have to say again staff was very accommodating and friendly .

Avoid - I suggest staying at any other hotel in the area if your goal is good night sleep.... does not meet the Curio Standard.... you are paying 3x the price for room that is on par with a Ramada....the elevator smelled like urine.... I could go on and on.... got no sleep ... the mattresses had to be 20 years old ....

Our weekend stay was amazing. The room was nice and clean and don’t get me started on the gorgeous ocean view. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the sunset. Front desk staff were pleasant and even offered us complimentary champagne at check in. We went to sea&sky restaurant upstairs for happy hour, drinks were alright but the bartender Jimmy wasn’t too friendly…just seemed like he didn’t want to be there but nonetheless it was still cool to have some drinks and see the view. Would definitely book here again :)

My stay at this hotel was disappointing overall, especially given the price point and the expectations that come with the Curio Collection by Hilton name. The most frustrating issue was the lack of transparency around fees. A $45 nightly parking charge was not disclosed during booking on Expedia, and I only learned about it after arriving at the property. Mandatory fees like this should be clearly stated upfront—discovering them later feels misleading and erodes trust. Unfortunately, the experience went further downhill when I decided to shorten my stay. Despite checking out early, the hotel refused to provide any refund or adjustment, showing little flexibility or willingness to work with the guest. While I understand policies exist, the rigid handling—especially in light of undisclosed fees—left a very poor impression. For a Curio Collection property, I expected a more refined experience and better guest-focused service. The location is convenient for La Jolla, but location alone doesn’t compensate for surprise charges and inflexible customer service. Had pricing been transparent and guest concerns handled with more consideration, my impression would have been very different.
