La Jolla Village Lodge

Right in the heart of La Jolla. We had a family reunion and all 30 of us stayed here, including three family dogs. We could walk to coffee, restaurants, pubs, parks, shops and of course the ocean! Everyone at the hotel was so accommodating to our needs. Maureen, Ines and Brent were all so friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A really nice spot in a wonderful town. Clean and modern. Friendly staff.

I had an amazing experience staying here. Greeted with a 5 star quality service from check-​in to check-​out! The rooms are remodeled with a flat TV screen and plenty of storage for clothes. FREE parking and not to mention in the heart of La Jolla with restaurants shopping the beach in a walking distance!

Not the fanciest but clean. Great experience. Ines was helpful with booking the hotel (efficient and told me about free parking, free wifi, continental breakfast etc — information also on website). She also offered useful information when I checked in (provided maps and ideas of where to visit). I was a little late to breakfast and Maureen brought it out again so I could have some food. Very accommodating with check out and leaving my luggage when I had a late flight and wanted to explore the area more. Would recommend to others.

We stayed here forcibly due to our inhabitable apartment with toxic molds.
Lots of places gave us a local rate due to issues.
Check in was at 10PM, and check out at 12 (no later).
The sad part was the full charge of close to 120 $ for such a cheap place that was very very basic.
I know it’s the beach, and I know it’s a weekend day. But a little compassion was appreciated.
I got a very allergic reaction in the room, did they had cats in the rooms prior to my stay?
We also had the don’t disturb sign on our door. Still the cleaners woke miserably up at 9AM.

Convenient location, cold a.c., nice television and mini fridge. However, if you have allergies be advised this place is pet friendly. Maureen is very accommodating but there’s only so much you can do to remove fur from a motel room. Office closes at 11pm so don’t lock yourself out!
Great rates for the location and the property is clean and quiet.

La Jolla Village Lodge is a great place to stay in if you want to explore San Diego! A little pricey and it is basically near to all the places we went to! About 20 minutes to San Diego Zoo, 15 minutes from SD Downtown and Coronado and it is walkable to all the La Jolla stores and it is near the beach!!! Walking distance to La Jolla Cove, Children’s Pool where you can see seals, Sunny Jim Cave, restaurants and shopping stores! You cannot go wrong with that. Customer service was great; the lady that works in the lobby was so helpful, kind and welcoming. The rooms were clean, the bed was comfortable enough and the room consisted with microwave, fridge, coffee maker, flat screen television and free wi-​fi! The wi-​fi wasn’t slow either, so it’s a good thing. The bathroom is also nice; towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap and lotion were provided but I would suggest bringing your own if you are staying longer because these are personal/​travel size. The lady said they offer free breakfast, but don’t expect for some continental breakfast because they only give bread, coffee and fruits. The parking is not a problem, so we had a great time in San Diego staying in this hotel!

The staff was friendly and attentive here. Is it the trendiest? Is it the newest? No, but well within budget and close to all surrounding activities; beach, restaurants, nightlife and located in safe environment. I would say here again.

I would highly recommend this place. It’s very reasonably priced and within walking distance to La Jolla cove, shops restaurants and bars. The rooms are a decent size and have a flat screen wall mounted TV, free WiFi, refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. The bathroom has a very modern look and personal size shampoo, conditioner, lotion and soap are provided.
Maureen runs the front desk and was very friendly and helpful. I’ll definitely stay here again the next time I visit La Jolla.

Excellent service and clean rooms! I was able to get a spot on the third floor next to the barbecue area. Beautiful beach and a plethora of great restaurants/​bars within walking distance. Free parking and Continental breakfast. Highly recommend this place.

I stayed here for a weekend & I will be coming back soon! For the most part it’s clean and the bathrooms are very nice! They come with towels, little shampoos/​lotions, hot water, cable TV etc etc. What I absolutely LOVE is it’s walking distances! I walked to La Jolla Cove, to eat lunch, and the farmers market. There was really almost no need for a car. The staff is extremely nice and so welcoming as well. Can’t wait to go back to La Jolla and stay here :)

I’m surprised the La Jolla Village Lodge has any 4 and 5 star reviews. This place is neither quaint nor cozy. There are two things going for it:
Dog friendly
In La Jolla
That’s it. You pay for the location and that’s about all you get.
I had family come from out of town and I looked up pet friendly hotels on Unilocal.Sadly I found this place. My family was terribly disappointed with the motel, the room and the price. Now I don’t look so good in their eyes either.
The room was as small as a room could be and still fit a king sized bed, a tv and a fridge. The shower was about the size of a phone booth.
Bottom line: Don’t recommend this place to friends or family unless they don’t have any standards beyond being in La Jolla and having a dog. If the place sounds good to you, then go for it, but you take a risk with your friendships and family if you put your name on a recommendation. It’s a $ 29 motel that costs $ 150 or so per night.

This place is great for the person who doesn’t want to spend to much but still be in the Village of LJ. The owners are always there and are very accommodating to all your needs.
Great location for a great price

I’ve stayed here many times over the last 5 years (at least once a year) and Maureen is the best. The price is always right and the accommodations are modest, but very clean. The rooms aren’t all terribly huge but who is actually going to spend time there when you’re in sunny san diego and beautiful la jolla, right? They also have a large outdoor patio on the second floor which is wonderful to eat or watch the sunset. Its close to all the restaurants/​bars and is right in the downtown of the village. I actually live a few blocks away now and i refer family and friends (who haven’t already stayed there) because you can’t beat the value in this area!
Plus Maureen is the most accommodating lady you’ll find :) Thanks, Maureen!

Bed was good, television reception was clear and it was a nice tv for such a reasonably priced motel. Stayed a night while I was riding my old motorcycle through town. Sorry that my old bike leaked some oil on your parking lot and I will be back to stay another night this summer. I really like this place.

The owner Maureen is super sweet and helpful. She drew us a map of all the nearby restaurants and stuff to see. They have muffins, fruit and bagels in the mornings. The hotel is a decent value for it’s price, but a little on the older side. We were staying there with other people and had three rooms between us. They were all the same price but the ammenites varied. Ours had a tiny old fashioned TV, one had a huge flat screen, and one had a huge flat screen plus a massage chair! If I stayed there again I’d ask for a better room, but it was nice enough that I would stay there again… The best part is that its walking distance to pretty much everything in the downtown beach area.

Stayed here last night. Nice rooms and they are reasonably priced. The owners are some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. It’s so beautiful here.

The best things about this motel are A) it’s very well priced for such an upscale neighborhood, B) it’s dog-​friendly, C) the staff is friendly, and D) it’s walking distance to La Jolla Cove, the restaurants, etc. The worst thing it that it’s a touch on the older side and rough around the edges, with leaky faucets and poor water pressure. If you have a dog and aren’t looking for the Waldorf-​Astoria, this might just do the trick.

This Pet friendly hotel in downtown La Jolla is just steps to the restaurants, bars, galleries, and museums located in the center of La Jolla Village. It’s a short walk to the beach and couple of blocks from the La Jolla Cove. The rooms are priced at a recession busting $ 119.00/ night (slightly more on the weekends). Where can you find prices like this in La Jolla?
They offer clean comfortable rooms in a relaxed atmosphere with cable TV, microwave, wifi, and fridge. Coffee, juice, fruit, and muffins are available in the morning.
With 30 rooms the lodge is a throw back to a 50’s, 60“s style no frills approach. You won’t find room service or swimming pools, but the owners live locally and have a hands on style of making sure their customers are enjoying their stay. They have a lovely 3^rd floor deck with sweeping views and sensational sunsets.
I like this place and have stayed here several times over the years. I would recommend La Jolla Village Lodge to anyone.
