The BEST wedding venue we could have ever asked for!…read more We had our wedding April 2024 and was nervous for the weather with the indoor/outdoor venue, but it ended up being perfect. The sun came out just in time for the 4pm cocktail hour and we were able to enjoy being on the grass without it being wet. Our guests kept talking about how amazing the view was - which is exactly why we chose it! This is perfect for if you want a beach wedding, but not directly on the sand. We wanted our guests to be outside for as much as possible to enjoy the La Jolla view, so we had cocktail hour and our buffet table outside. With the help of Personal Touch Dining, we also had bar tables set up outside for guests to still enjoy being outside during the party. Andrew and the rest of the Scripps Seaside Forum team was very easy to work with - always being available over email or text for any random questions I had.

I-House provides students with a unique living situation because UCSD students share housing with students from around the globe.

I have met so many people who forged great relationships when they studied abroad which is what makes I-House so great because you get a chance to really get to know so many different people from so many different cultures. I can honestly say, living at I-House was one of my most memorable experiences at UCSD.

There is a short walk from the parking lot to the aquarium, but the walk itself isn't that bad.

The area with the touch pools has a gorgeous view of the beach & ocean as the aquarium sits up higher so you'll have a great view for photos. We thought they had a great selection of sea life to view. They had several different types of Jelly fish & several different species of Sea horses. I absolutely loved seeing the Sea Kelp Dragons, they are so cool to see. The bathrooms were clean, the gift shop was nice, and all of the staff we interacted with were friendly. I would say we were here for 45 minutes altogether?

There is also an outdoor section with a nice view of the ocean in San Diego, which makes for some great photo opportunities.

Having grown up in San Diego my husband and I are familiar with the Old Town area and have always…read moreloved it. We thought staying at the Old Town Inn would be a good option, boy were we wrong. We paid $250 per night for the most disappointing stay I have ever had at a hotel/motel. Pulling up to the location, I was GobSmacked to see it was in an industrial park and very close to heavy traffic. It does not seem to be an easy walk to Old Town and I didn't want to cross a busy hwy to get there, so we ended up having to drive. Check in was fine, but when we got to the room I was so surprised to see a cramped, dated, claustrophobic room. The bathroom is tiny, there is no way to unpack luggage due to no drawers, the air conditioning unit barely works and the room always felt muggy when we entered. Their included breakfast was a huge disappointment, as well. There are several items to choose from, but none of them are fresh and they are of low quality. The bagel I made was completely inedible. It tasted like something off the clearance rack at the discount supermarket. They had pastries in cellophane that looked like they came from 7/11. The pool is advertised as "heated," but it was too cold to go in. The towels at the pool are the same chintzy, thin bath towels that are in your room. Again, far below the expectation for the amount we are paying per night. So after being dissatisfied with our situation we went to the front desk to ask for some type of remediation. We asked for a manager, but they refused to call anyone. Instead we were told that since we booked thru hotels.com they would not give us any type of price adjustment. We asked for a room upgrade which they said they could do for one night, but then we would have to go back to the crappy room since they were "sold out" on Saturday night. When I asked what our options were we were told to "Go stay somewhere else." It left SUCH a bad taste in my mouth. What is so frustrating is that, reading thru the negative reviews, the manager of the hotel always responds with "We are so sorry, we want to make it right, please reach out to us" after the fact. Yet, when you try to give them an opportunity to make it right in real time, they are totally disinterested. They talk a good game, but don't really mean it. In retrospect, we should have checked out and gone to a different hotel. The problem with that is its Labor Day weekend and last minute reservations are outrageously expensive, especially if Old Town Inn is refusing to give any price adjustment. I called the front desk again this morning to attempt to speak to a manager, only to be told there was no one around because it was a Holiday Weekend. How do you not have management on site to address customer issues on a busy weekend? It goes without saying that we will never, EVER stay here again and I hope future guests take note of the many downsides to the Old Town Inn. If this hotel charged $100/night I could maybe see the appeal. But at $250/night it is an absolute rip-off.
