“Great place to stay.”
+My granddaughter and I visited this hotel. It was very central to everything we wanted to do. The beds were comfy. The water was hot.It was clean. Breakfast was OK. It’s a hotel continental breakfast. But if you don’t like hotel Continental there’s plenty of coffee shops just veryclose nearby. The setting for breakfast was very nice! The staff that work here are very friendly and helpful.

“Horrible - don’t stay here”
+Stayed here for a wedding and from the moment I walked in I thought I may have walked into the wrong motel. The entire place is an absolute dump of a motel (because that’s what it is). I stayed here with family and we rented 5 different rooms for 5 days and 4 nights. It was 400$ per night. You would assume that at that price you would receive some sort of premium or quality experience. Don’t get your hopes up. From parking that is 35$ per day that is not commentary - to AC that does not work - to waking up to the awful smell of their putrid breakfast because it seeps through every floor - to the service desk representatives - having to move rooms at 1am - not one time did we get room service in 4 nights - it was overall an absolute awful experience - they reached out after I left a poor review and offered a whopping 60$ back as an apology for the awful awful experience I had. They are a joke of a business and should anyone come stay in La Jolla you will be far better off staying at a holiday inn or motel 6 than staying here. Save ur money and don’t spend 400$ per night for a dump of a motel such as this place.

“Awful hotel don’t believe the 5 star reviews”
+Awful hotel - I had to change rooms because the original rooms ac didn’t work but the new rooms ac didn’t work either so they offered me a fan which was sorta a slap in the face for a hotel that you are paying 400$ a night for - the entire hotel is run down and not near worth 400$ per night - parking is also an extra 30-50$ per day which isn’t included with that 400$ per night fee - offered nothing to make it right - poor excuse for a hotel - do better for your customers

“Would never stay here again!”
+Comfortable beds, good location
−They gave keys to our room to another guest who came into our room at night. Needless to say, it was very disturbing and left us unsettled. Staff referred the issue to management who refuses to answer calls or return messages from us personally or from Booking.com. Unacceptable!

“Definitely staying here again!”
+We originally had a room in another hotel. We had a problem with the room and had to find a new place to stay. The manager placed us at the Empress. We are so grateful! Our room was beautiful, comfortable and quiet. Nice bathroom too. Close to everything in La Jolla. The best part was the front desk manager. She was AWESOME! We had a rough day (lost luggage, massive traffic, changing hotels, etc.), and she went out of her way to make sure our stay was special. We will definitely be back!
