Laine, Apr 2025
Pros (+) The location was perfect. One street removed from the beach front (but you will have to go down a large/long set of steps or a steep hill if you have mobility needs it might be a challenge). And right in the heart of shopping and amazing dinning options all within a ten min walk max to the farthest edge. The pool is lovely with a stunning view of the ocean. It also has a pool bar if you’d like dri...
Cons (-) With this hotel you’re definitely paying a premium for the location, so be okay with that before anything else. We were put in the building next door from the main (and lovely) building which was a bummer. It very much looked like a converted apartment building.

The Pink Lady is perfectly situated for enjoying La Jolla on foot. It has a glamour of yesteryear, and staff are personable and attentive. Our room in the main tower was easily accessible to all hotel amenities. While a higher price point, location and ambiance can’t be beat.

Pros (+) Location. That’s about it.
Cons (-) Our 741 dollar suite had permanently stained furnishings, drapes hanging off their valance, noise HVAC, an entry ceiling spot that flickered all night, even when turned off - NO mirror light in the bathroom, had been removed and plated, shower dribbled warm, not hot, water - shower door guard was put on backwards, had to fix it myself. Depressing atmosphere, common stairwells badly scratched and s...
