Hotel Parisi La Jolla

Relaxing and going to the beach.

Located right across from the La Valencia which is the quintessential hotel for La Jolla. Within walking distance of many restaurants and the beach. Staff was friendly. The breakfast was ok if you like pastries and cereal, but we went out for breakfast most mornings as that seems to be the thing to do in San Diego. Our room had a little bit of a ocean view through the buildings, but barely. Plus our room was facing a busy main street of La Jolla and there was tons of traffic on it all night/early morning including loud, noisy trucks... That and the bed was SUPER-uncomfortable. I actually dreamt that I was sleeping on a box-spring one night. For $300 per night, I expected at least a decent mattress if not a nice mattress. The workout room was small. The spa services are IN ROOM, there is not a spa on site. THere is not a pool or garden area to relax here at the hotel, which was a little disappointing. The patio in the room was not big enough for a chair. We LOVED Sushi on the Rock (the Don roll), The Blue Wave for lunch had an amazing view and good food (poor service), and the Brockston Villas Coast Toast for breakfast was AMAZING. We weren't that impressed with Roppongo's Sushi, not compared to Sushi on the Rock. We also really enjoyed sunset at Mt. Soledad and a drive up the 101 to some of the towns further north.

This hotel is a fabulous, upscale, centrally located boutique property in LaJolla. We walked to tne many galleries, shops and restaurants in this picturesque section of San Diego. The restaurants in LaJolla are first class and within an easy stroll from the Hotel Parisi. The downtown area of San Diego is a short distance on I-5. We would go back to this area and this hotel again!

Excellent Hotel, very private with a helpful, resourceful staff. Perfect hotel for the person looking to enjoy La Jolla with little or no fuss with accommodations.

This hotel was a huge disappointment. When I arrived after having previously checked in the door to my room was fastened wide open, apparently left that way by the turn-down maid. The wireless internet didn't work and I wasted almost an hour trying to connect -- at least I was able to use a wired internet connection. The hotel has no restaurant -- breakfast is "continental" which doesn't work for my high protein low carb diet. The in-room thermostat never seemed to work right, and the noisy fan could not be turned off. This hotel has been described as European -- maybe Eastern Europe before the iron curtain fell, but not 21st century Europe. Pretty lobby and nice enough staff, but overall fewer amenities than a Hampton Inn. Definitely not worth the price (which I know was jacked up by 50 dollars per night for the Orbitz commission because they tried to get me to pay for the room again after I had already prepaid when I made the reservation.

We stayed here for the New Years Holiday. From check-in, which is at a desk instead of a counter, to the morning breakfast and up until the last minute we stayed, my wife and I felt completely comfortable and welcomed. The rooms are nicely furnished with nice amenities. We will definitely stay here when visiting the area in the future.
