Top hotels in La Jolla Mesa
Paradise Point Resort & Spa
Property was old and not well kept. We had to transfer rooms. Bathrooms were extremely small and difficult to maneuver. This is an old property and was very disappointing and underwhelming. Close to beach access was the only good thing.

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego
This hotel is beautiful. There’s so many beautiful restaurants all around you. Their rooms are very small, but extremely clean. For the price this room definitely wasn’t worth it.

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle
Room carpet smelled like urine, stairwells dirty, pool dirty, requested clean towels 3 times they were never delivered. Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. This hotel did not feel clean or safe.

Bathrooms were dirty. U don’t like carp d rooms. And they had no water bottle in the rooms for guest. The vending machines in my wing were out of drinks in general. I was not impressed.
