Sands of La Jolla - Hotel in La Jolla - 5417 La Jolla Blvd, USA

I had the best night’s sleep! Very comfortable beds! Accurate list of amenities. Very close to coffee shops, drink bar available in the lobby. Pool was great! Housekeeping staff is friendly and efficient!

This hotel is updated, has a pool, security, and is in a decent location. And most of the employees are extremely nice and helpful (shout out to Denise and the night lady attendant who did the 6 pm-2 am shift).||On walking into our room we were greeted with a very musty odor. There began the problem. We were given some sort of machine to clear the air that never worked. Fortunately, my allergies and me survived the night. In the morning we returned the machine and the maintenance man said it was the wrong one. We also told them about the refrigerator that was oozing condensation and leaking water onto the floor, so we had to keep a towel there. The fridge was important because it housed my insulin. The same maintenance man told me it was doing that because we used the AC. Say what? And he asked how long we were staying. "Only two nights?" As if that meant the problems did not need to be rectified.||The towels were like sandpaper and the pillows felt like a cloth case filled with tissues. ||After complaining, we only had one night left. So, we put up with the musty odor (because my allergies did not react) and the fridge (the insulin stayed cold) but we definitely did not like the responses to our problems. ||This hotel has so much potential. It needs to address its issues, beginning with that maintenance worker.

Decent hotel. Good location. The rooms are clean, spacious, comfortable, and modern. Not much amenities, but they have a small pool. A bit pricey but you're paying for the location. Would advise to stay on the second or third floor since you need to go thru the gates to get to those floors so it's a bit safer. There's no gate to the first floor rooms so anyone can just walk up to them. Service was good. Friendly staff. Easy parking in front or back. Plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance.

Loved everything about this quaint hotel. A great location. Super clean and such a friendly staff. We had such an enjoyable stay. Great food within walking distance. We used the very relaxing, super clean heated pool and had it to ourselves. So fun. We will be back!

From the outside this hotel looked fairly decent located in a nice area with plenty of things to do around. Until you get to the room. The layout was strange they had a swamp cooler attached to the sink which made it difficult to use the sink, had to remove the device from the sink every time I needed to wash my face or brush my teeth. The only mirror in the room was hung way too high and out of reach which made doing makeup impossible. You literally have to stand on a chair to see your outfits at the risk of falling. Here's the worse part we had a two night stay and on the second night I realize the comforter had a huge stain on it. Upon further inspection I figured out it was a blood stains. Apparently they don't clean their sheets ewwww. I was so freaking grossed out. I didn't bother to complain since it was already my second night there and didn't want to get into any altercation while I'm supposed to be on a relaxing vacation. We ended up sleeping on top of our large beach blankets. Seriously, if you book here inspect the sheets/ pillows first. These guys DO NOT launder the bedding. See attached photos! For $519 stay I expected better.

When we checked in our room had a horrible smell. They moved us to the first floor, which wasn't as nice as the balcony rooms. We asked for an adjustment for our room rate. Everyone was nice but they kept stringing us along. Finally talked to Jay, who said he had to talk to the owner and would send us an email. Heard nothing.

Been a customer for years. Recently management here, including the maids have been horrid. Jay, the manager, was very rude to me, and on top of that made me extremely uncomfortable. Getting charged for towels, nasty showers, hair all up in the drain. Rooms are totally not worth what they charge you, rather stay at an upscale place especially with the trash service here now. Place used to be great but if management stays this way im sure this place will be out of business soon. But shout - out Stephanie, the front desk lady, Professional and a sweetheart. But everything else about here, Absolute trash.

We stayed her for my daughter senior trip. Such a cute little hotel. Clean, quite, reasonably priced. The location is the best. Plenty of free parking. Lots of local restaurants and shops.
