  The kiosks to get into the parking garage are terrible, especially the after hours one. The whole parking situation in general here is awful. The service is terrible here, seems like nobody actually can give me an answer to anything about this hotel or the area around it.

  Phenomenal find, view of ocean from my room, super friendly and accommodating staff, great outdoor space for breakfast and a gorgeous restaurant on the premises

  객실 상태 좋고 위치도 촤적입니다. 한가지 물을 페트병으로 제공하지 않아 물마시려면 로비로 가야합니다. 주차는 주변을 잘 살펴 스트릿 주차하면 저녁 6시전까지는 2시간, 이후는 무료주차가능.

  Great location! you're walking distance to many restaurants in downtown la jolla. You're also a 5 min walk to La Jolla Cove. while the exterior of the hotel may look average, and the lobby is very small. But the rooms looked newly renovated and clean! Spacious too! i stayed here two nights and I have no complaints. Staffs were friendly. The website says that they offer free breakfast, when I asked them about it, apparently the free breakfast doesn't start until the next month. At the lobby, they have a water dispenser and only once i saw cookies out for guests to partake. I never saw free snacks again after the first night. I would highly recommend this hotel. Sure you don't have the front ocean view like some of the hotels closer to the water but you'll be saving a lot of money at Empress and you're really not that far away from ocean. And if you get the highest floor facing prospect, you will get to see ocean from your room!
