Clean rooms. Great breakfast! Only problem was the elevator was broken, so we had to go up 3 flights of stairs with our luggage with a family of 4.

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego La Jolla
Staff was great, no issues. Nice clean room and bed, shower had weird tiny tub. Parking is 47$ a night, pretty ridiculous. Next time I’d just park on the road outside the property. Not bad at all for the price per night though, would recommend.
