Top Lake San Marcos Hotel Reviews

Pala Casino Spa And Resort

8/10 Good

"Valet and Bell staff were great."

La Jolla Shores Hotel

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed the beach access and pool. The location was great Ames everything was clean. It would have been nice to know more about the hotel amenities.. ordering drinks poolside or how the towel return worked. However we really enjoyed our stay and were there for the beach and we definitely took advantage of that! I would stay here again."

LEGOLAND California Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is our second time staying here and I will always stay here when visiting legoland! The breakfast is all you can eat and included in your stay. The breakfast is a step up from those cheap hotels you stay at but for free and when feeding kids, it’s a great deal The only hiccup I had this last time was I needed a trundle bed for my niece and they couldn’t accommodate it which was super strange. But the hotel and pool are amazing! I always do the valet parking and a valet named Sebastian was always kind and courteous and quick with the car recovery. The entertainment is so fun and honestly for what we pay it’s a great deal to stay here. Will be booking again here soon !"

Sheraton La Jolla Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean. I did not like that there really was no place to hang clothing in the in the bathroom and the hook for the bath towel was difficult to reach from the shower. The room decor was pleasant. However, there was a lot of traffic noise. The pool and garden area was lovely. The restaurant was very good, although I felt the breakfast prices were a little high. The staff there was great. I do not feel you should be charging $30 a day for parking. There were a lot of empty spaces in that lot. Convenient location to the La Jolla beaches. I like that you’re not located in a congested high-rise area. Your front desk staff was very friendly, and one woman knew a lot about the area however, several others were unfamiliar with local attractions, when questioned about directions on sites to see. I would stay at this site again."

The Seabird Ocean Resort & Spa, Part of Destination Hotel by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and a lovely property, rooms also very well appointed. Fantastic views. Slight downside is very limited restaurant and bars which are shut more than open. Last orders at the pool for a drink around 3:30. Poor variety on menus too. Plenty of places to dine out though, so their loss. Tip: park across the street for much less than the valet price."
