Orli La Jolla

Review of La Valencia Hotel…read more I purchased a day pass here as someone who works in the hospitality industry and is always curious to experience new properties from a guest perspective--and La Valencia absolutely delivered. I arrived pretty early in the morning (optimistically expecting sunshine), but even with the typical coastal overcast, it didn't take away from the experience at all. In fact, I somehow ended up with the pool almost entirely to myself--in the middle of August, which felt like a hidden luxury. The setting is just beautiful. The views, the calm atmosphere, and the overall sense of escape made it easy to settle in and relax. I spent about five hours there and never felt rushed or overlooked. The staff, especially at the cabana bar, were fantastic--attentive, respectful, and genuinely pleasant to interact with. I ordered food and drinks throughout the day, and everything added to the ease and enjoyment of the experience. The only small downside is parking, which can be a bit tricky--but that's pretty standard for La Jolla. Overall, this was an incredible day experience and absolutely worth it. I'd do it again without hesitation.

Multiple social media searches told me this was the place to stay in La Jolla, so despite the…read moreexpense I decided to book a room for one night, my first night after flying into San Diego. I paid $500 for the room, arrived around 10 pm and had to check out by 11am, quick $500! There was a $45 resort fee, whatever that means. Still would love to know what that was for. Anyways, the bellhop guys were nice they gave me recommendations for where to eat and also helped carry my suitcase up to my room. The bedroom was small, really small and the view was of a back lot with dumpsters and the side of a building. Sure, the room was hip and funky and cool. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was small but functional. Listen the room was fine, but for $500...and this was a heavily discounted room because I booked through Hotel Tonight. Anyways, I walked the hotel at night and it was nice because I had the place to myself, the pool is really pretty at night, it's lit up, I recommend walking outside and having a seat on their comfy couches above the pool. In the morning I continued exploring the hotel and when I went to check out the dining room I was receiving unfriendly glances from the hostess or whoever she was. So much so that I stopped and asked if it was okay that I was looking around, to which she replied, "Well are you eating?" I said no and that I was staying here and just wanted to check out the view. I am a pretty average looking chick, was in work out clothes, maybe I didn't fit the high end clientele look and it seemed to bother her. Anyways, the people at the front desk upon check out weren't the friendliest either, seemed annoyed when I asked if they had change for the bellhop. The man at the concierge desk who I believe has a job of making sure everyone in the hotel is happy and having a grand time didn't even acknowledge. me the four or five times I walked past his desk. I felt unwelcome to be honest.

The microwave in our room also died mid-use, and the hotel had no replacement, which is odd since being familiar with hotel hospitality, they usually have back up coffee maker, microwaves, clocks, etc. We were in the area to visit our kid in college not for VD. We got frozen dinners at pavilions to have meal in our room since restaurants were booked. We had to heat our dinners upstairs in the breakfast area. Breakfast the next morning was awful -- mushy powdered eggs (they melted in your mouth like hot mush), strange bacon, warm milk, and soggy potatoes. Management offered a $17 adjustment, which does not cover the $25 parking fee. This dismissive and insulting given the extent of the all the things that went wrong. The front desk staff Hayley and Josh were friendly and professional. Not worth the price. We won't return.

It may not be the most updated hotel on the boardwalk, but it has everything you need. The staff is always welcoming, the house keeping staff are friendly and trustworthy, the parking lot is gated and secured by a guard throughout the day, the rooms are always clean the grounds are well maintained, and after all the years of being loyal visitors, we have yet to experience anything negative at this property. I love that the grounds are secure and you can allow your children to go into the courtyard area and play the provided games with peace of mind- knowing that they'll be safe. They provide tons of outdoor seating options and grills for tenants, which makes cooking a breeze. In order to enter from the beach/boardwalk, you must have a room key to enter the premises- another awesome perk. This keeps all the riff-raft out of the area. &At night, they also require a room key to enter through the front of the building- which is a newer feature, and much appreciated. You can leave your beach toys & chairs outside your room without worrying about someone coming to steal it. We have locked our bikes up downstairs in the courtyard area & nobody messes with them. This is such a great place to stay & an amazing tradition that our family has. We look forward to our visit every May!

Overall, it was a good experience, but a few things didn't quite match our expectations. Upon arrival, the building wasn't as "grand" as it appears in the promotional videos--it has more of a homey, slightly outdated feel, though still pleasant. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful, even offering a golf cart service on a first-come, first-served basis for late-night rides back to the hotel, which was a nice touch. Our room was nice, but not exactly what we expected. We had requested a king ocean-view room--the view was absolutely amazing--but the bed was definitely closer to a queen size.

The location is absolutely beautiful, and the view from our room patio overlooking the beach was a highlight of our trip. The rooms--and the entire hotel--were spotless. It's clear the staff takes great pride in keeping everything clean and well maintained. We really enjoyed the pool and spa area, which had plenty of lounge chairs and shaded spots to relax. The courtyard was another favorite, with foosball, ping-pong, and other games that kept everyone entertained throughout the day. The fire pits located around the property were such a nice touch, especially in the evenings. The restaurant right on the sand was a stunning setting, complete with fire pits and heaters. The food was delicious, and the views made it even better. What truly stood out was the service--everyone we encountered went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The location is also very convenient, with easy access to nearby shops, restaurants, coffee spots, ice cream, and rentals. The underground parking with direct access was super convenient, and the beach concierge (who sets up umbrellas and chairs) plus available boogie boards made beach time effortless. They've definitely earned a customer for life--we can't wait to come back!

We call, and they apologize and no one shows up. We call again around 4, and at around 4:30 the room gets cleaned. Not once, not twice, but four times in our one week vacation. It's a 1st world problem and maybe I'm just a Karen, but I didn't like that.

La Jolla is magical in itself, but Scripps feels special. From the homey décor with the beachside theme, to the quaint terrace where you can read and sip a beverage with the ocean in your sightline. The small stuff that wasn't worth sweating: outlets are rather oddly placed in the room (most often hidden behind furniture in such a way that it was hard or impossible to plug anything in; we used the washroom outlet most) and if you're in a first floor unit (we were in 5), you can definitely hear your upstairs neighbours walking about. All this doesn't negate the positives for me. Brooke is the most wonderful concierge and goes out of her way to accommodate for her guests (personal text to notify that the room was ready early, luggage storage solution since our flight wasn't until the evening). The sweet ladies on the hotel staff were also incredibly kind and friendly. It's always so nice to get a smile back. I hope I get to stay here again, especially for summer! Thanks so much, Scripps!

The construction is bothersome but I was never bothered by the sounds. Progress comes with inconveniences so it didn't bother me personally. Here's why I lowered the rating. The elevator is HORRIBLE. Something should be done in the massive renovation and it was completely unreliable. Especially, since there's only one carrying luggage down the stairwells is risky at best. The brand new lighting in the bathroom was a big fail! The lights are mounted behind the mirror and my wife could barely see because it's so dim. I have to agree even finding my contacts was difficult with these dim lighting. Fix those two things and you would have a five rating.

I wish now I would have read all the reviews for this hotel before committing and staying here…read more We felt like we should stay here since our daughter's wedding was on the rooftop here by wedgewood weddings. Wedgewood has nothing to do with the actual hotel and their policies. I will never stay here again. Their lack of care and concern for their guests is obvious. They run a factory here of people coming for weddings so they are making bank from all these guests and don't care in the least about pleasing the customers or any concerns the guests have. I tried reaching out and they put the blame on the other guest for the smoke stench and said we should've reached out so they could help. We did call the front desk to complain but no one answered the phone, Then we went to front desk to talk & the person working responded with an OK. Nothing they could do. We opted to stay here since it was so convenient with the wedding venue on the rooftop. We were not told about all the construction until after we signed the contract. That probably would have deterred us from signing. The day of the wedding as the wedding party was getting ready, they were jack hammering on the sixth floor. The sixth floor is where we were all staying because the rooftop venue is on the sixth floor and it made it convenient for family and friends to all be together close to the venue. The construction noise was so horrible not to mention the stench of smoke coming into the rooms from either the workers or other guests staying at the hotel. The elevator was slow as snails. We had elderly people in our group and some had to climb the stairs just to make it to the wedding because the elevator took over 20 minutes waiting for it. Ridiculous. If you had a room with an ocean view, you were lucky because you didn't feel claustrophobic, and the views were good. If you choose a basic room, there are no chairs, just the bed and the TV on a stand. There is no bar soap for your hands in the toilet area. They said we needed to use the liquid pump soap in the shower when we asked for hand soap. No lotion either. If you want ice for your ice bucket, you need to go to the front desk and they have to go get it for you. Good luck because there was always a line of people for the one employee working so you would have to wait. The lighting in all the rooms was horrible. Big fail there. Luckily, they had the parakeet café downstairs which had coffee and pastries, a few yogurt items, and smoothies. For a full breakfast, you would have to go to a restaurant in the village up the street, but the walk is a very steep hill in case you are with anybody that has a problem with that. There are no vending machines in this hotel if you wanted something else to drink other than water. They put two small bottled waters in the room that are five dollars each. No sodas at the cafe either. The seals start barking by around 4 am- not hotel fault but just be warned. No sleep if u have an oceanfront/view room. So the wedding venue is what saved us. The wedding was perfect. The hotel was a fail. And if you call or write to complain and express your concerns they will just give you an apology and dismiss you. They don't care.

I just wrapped up my second stay at Orli, and once again, it was nothing short of magical! This time, we stayed in the Conservatory, and it exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we stepped into the beautifully designed space, we felt a sense of serenity and luxury. The high ceilings, abundant natural light, and tasteful décor made it feel like a private oasis. Every detail is so thoughtfully curated, from the comfortable bed to the cozy sitting area that invites you to relax with a book or a glass of wine. The room's garden view was absolutely stunning, adding to the overall tranquil atmosphere. It's clear that Orli prioritizes their guests' comfort, with all the amenities we needed for a perfect weekend getaway. The location is unbeatable, offering easy access to local attractions while still feeling tucked away and peaceful. The seamless check-in process and the team's attentive service made us feel so welcome and well taken care of. Orli has quickly become my go-to for a luxurious escape, and I can't wait to return again. Highly recommend staying in the Conservatory if you're looking for a beautiful, restful experience! read more

Our stay at the Orli was absolutely flawless! Serving as our home base for three days during my son's wedding in La Jolla last weekend, the hotel exceeded expectations. We held both the Welcome Event and a Farewell Brunch in the meticulously maintained courtyard, where the staff, particularly Omar and Mia, were exceptionally nice and helpful. The larger rooms, beautifully appointed down to the smallest detail, served as the bridal suite and groomsmen's preparation space. The Orli seamlessly blends historic charm with modern amenities, creating a truly stunning experience. The lobby, with its comfortable ambiance reminiscent of a library/speak-easy, offers thoughtful touches like cold brew, filtered water, and kombucha on tap. The Orli turned out to be an unassuming surprise in La Jolla, and we're eagerly looking forward to returning! read more

For the fellow traveler: An exceptional stay at this gorgeous boutique hotel, located in beautiful La Jolla! Its unbeatable location, steps away from the beach and within walking distance to museums, shops, and fine dining, made my visit truly memorable. The historical charm of the building added a unique touch, complemented by the meticulous attention to detail evident in the floors, rugs, and furniture. The staff's warmth and professionalism stood out, creating a welcoming atmosphere throughout my stay. The added bonus of yoga and Pilates sessions a few times a month added to the overall experience. Safety was never a concern in this wonderful area. I highly recommend this gem for a delightful blend of history, comfort, unique luxury and convenience. read more

The views and gentle sounds of the ocean made resting easy. The included breakfast was fabulous (both delicious and healthy) as well. I'd love to stay here again. Beds were super comfortable and everything was clean. And the decor? Loved it!!! Absolutely delightful experience in every way.

ZERO Stars! Did not even make a reservation! Called as a courtesy to inform (not request) that I…read morewill be traveling with a service dog and was told... "I prefer you stay at our pet friendly sister property, does that work?", when I chose this property specifically. Then I was told that, "this is not a pet friendly hotel, no ESA, only service animals..." I stated that I am aware of the ADA definitions and it's unfortunate that you have to treat the conversation in this manner and discourage travelers... " you have to fill out a form, are you okay with that?". I couldn't continue the conversation politely and bid him a good day. I called back to get his contact information and stated I needed to make a complaint to the ADA. Unfortunate, at least I didn't ruin a stay there.

We had been looking forward to staying here for our first getaway together after hearing so many…read moregreat reviews. Overall, it was a good experience, but a few things didn't quite match our expectations. Upon arrival, the building wasn't as "grand" as it appears in the promotional videos--it has more of a homey, slightly outdated feel, though still pleasant. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful, even offering a golf cart service on a first-come, first-served basis for late-night rides back to the hotel, which was a nice touch. Our room was nice, but not exactly what we expected. We had requested a king ocean-view room--the view was absolutely amazing--but the bed was definitely closer to a queen size. Unfortunately, my husband had trouble sleeping because his side of the mattress was sagging. On a positive note, the bathroom was spotless--really well maintained (check out my photos!). And the location is a huge highlight--within easy walking distance to local shops and restaurants, which made everything super convenient. Overall, a mixed experience: great location and service, but some room details could definitely be improved.

Pros: Nice location. Lovely restaurant. Wonderful valet service. Cozy foyer. Relaxing pool area…read more Fantastic room service. Luxury toiletries. Cons: Cramped room. Musty closet. Thin walls. Dated furniture, not at all of what's shown on website. High rise blocking water view. Overall: Good enough stay. Wasn't worth the full price paid. Cheers!

Very cute. It's apartments that are now converted into the Inn. There is street parking or parking…read morespots they reserve for $15 per night. The common area is super cute with the swimming pool adorning the center and rooms along the sides. We were upgraded to a 2 bedroom suite at no extra cost which was a nice perk. The room is basically an apartment - nice living room, dining table for 6, kitchen, a master and second bedroom and a bathroom. There is a covered patio that overlooks the tennis club and golf course and you can see a sliver of the ocean. We loved it! The bed was actually quite comfy, but more so the pillows. The kitchen came equipped with utensils, cutlery, etc and coffee. But no soap to clean so I could only rinse everything out and keep. What was a bit disappointing was that the heating only seems to be there for the living room. We couldn't find a vent in the bedroom. Also all fans have the plunger things you have to pull, which is discomforting when you are 5'1" and standing on the bed as you try to switch the fan off in the middle of the night, avoiding your head from slicing open. Loved that we had our own little apartment and didn't have to see anyone else. Check in was also through a lockbox. We will come back here for sure!!
