Location and service. The only thing that I didn't like was the parking fee. I knew about it but I wish it could be less expensive.
Very nice, clean, well-run facility and the staff is very helpful.
Could walk to restaurants. Good, simple breakfast.
This is a timeless classic hotel. Our room was very clean, and the staff was friendly and extremely helpful. The breakfast patio was relaxing. The best is location....right out of the front door and you can walk to the sea lions/seals area, lots of restaurants, little shops, and coffee places.
Everyone who works at this hotel is genuinely nice! What a pleasure to stay there.
Best property ever! We loved it so much more than any other
This is my second stay at the Empress Hotel. The staff has been excellent both times. Rooms are spacious and very comfortable. They have a nice breakfast and a large patio. And the location is the best, within walking distance to the beautiful coastal walkway, restaurants, shopping, I was there for business and my office is across the street. I will look forward to my next visit.
Great location; staff very friendly; housekeeping excellent
The hotel was nice, staff wonderful my only complaint is that the bathroom door is a giant shutter always gapped open, don’t get me wrong the door shuts and locks but why bother! If you need to turn the light on in the middle of the night in the bathroom it will wake whoever is in the room. Let’s talk about bathroom noises! Feeling romantic on a weekend away with your significant other? Not after they use the bathroom! How about odors? Girls weekend? Feel like sharing everything? I really liked the hotel and would go back alone but not with anyone else. The bathroom door killed it!
Bell boy was great and helpful. The room was a very good size. Very clean and comfortable beds and pillows. Bathrooms very clean.
Great location, fabulous staff who are all very kind and helpful. The breakfast was pretty good too.
Great hotel definitely will stay here again ! Great location
Great friendly knowledgeable staff, modern decor, comfortable beds, great location near restaurants beach and shopping. Nice quite continental breakfast. House keeping staff are great.
Entire staff, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Modern rooms, comfortable beds. Family was in town for UCSD graduation, and the Empress made our Lajolla stay fabulous.
Amazing Location, right in the center of everything. The restaurant attached to this hotel was amazing. The live music blew me away. The room was big and the bed was comfy. The only downside is there is no parking.
Good location—2 minute walk to multiple nice eateries, 5 minute walk to the ocean, very courteous staff, clean room with a very comfortable bed. Highly recommend this hotel.
What a great find. First time staying at this hotel. I only gave the comfort of the room a disappointing rating due to the following. Upon checking in, the staff informed me that the air conditioner was being repaired. Later that evening, we were told the problem was fixed, however it would take some time for the higher floors to cool down. We were on a higher floor. After some time the room was still not cool, so we called the front desk and requested a fan. We received the fan within 10 min, which did help some. Unfortunately, this was an unusually humid day, so it took some time for the fan to give some relief. Through this entire process, the staff was fantastic. They were honest about the problem and gave honest updates on the expected repair time. The staff's was so professional. If it wasn't for that, it would have been a perfect review. Beds were very comfortable, microwave and fridge combo was perfect for leftovers. Location was fantastic, close to everything: grocery store, restaurants, shopping, beach, movie theaters, and banks. We are already looking forward to a return visit. We will definitely be returning to this hotel.
Great location. With in walking distance to the beach, great shopping and great restraunts
