Great location. But the parking is atrocious and the entrance to their underground parking(which is $20 a night, btw) is so low that it destroyed the sunroof and scraped the entire roof of my truck

Response from GM on Mar 28, 2024
Hello Devin, thank you for your high rating and your comments. We're sorry that you weren't able to find adequate parking. I don't know what to say about the damage to your truck because the height restriction and max limits are clearly marked by a bright orange bar across the entrance stating exactly how low the clearance is. We feel terrible that this happened.

I stayed for 4 nights here! Very easy stay, loved the complimentary tea or coffee in the lobby. Parking is an additional $20 a night, and was very easy to park. Facilities were clean and well kept, and the pool was a great bonus to have heated. Strongly recommend staying here if you'll be in La Jolla.
