It's very close to the seaside, it's very convenient to walk there. There's a nice Italian restaurant across the road. The hotel is a little old, but the location is convenient. good.

The Empress is a quaint hotel with an old-school restaurant and bar. Within walking distance of downtown and shopping areas and the beach. Valet parking was reasonable with unlimited in and out privileges. The restaurant had live piano with some great jazz standards being played. We enjoyed our stay. Having breakfast included is always a plus, but there are plenty of restaurants to choose from if you want to go out.

I loved staying here for New Years Eve and taking a walk early morning on New Years Day. The entire stay was great and I was very satisfied with the breakfast provided.

Hotel is in downtown La Jolla, a walkable area with good dining options, but far enough away from the main streets to avoid the noise. The hotel itself was average, you can tell there were parts that have been renovated, but other spots clearly dated, like the bathrooms. We were greeted by a slouchy, sullen guy in a black hoodie that didn't make a great first impression and at some point one of the housekeepers let herself into our room to look for the phone charger that she thought she left while cleaning...bizarre. The highlight was that it was walkable to Piazza 1909 and Brick and Bell.

The service from the front desk and janitorial staff was fantastic. The room itself definitely had its quirks. I had an accessible room with a king bed at (noisy) street level. The mattress was not comfortable and left my lower half aching after just a couple of hours. The toilet, though itself accessible, was positioned oddly, which made using it somewhat difficult. Additionally, a high pitched noise would sound intermittently in the bathroom area, presumably from another room using the water? It happened sporadically at all hours, which was really aggravating. On the plus side again, the continental breakfast was better than average with a clean, well-maintained serving and dining area. I did not try the restaurant (the Manhattan). Overall, got the job done.

Nice spot! Breakfast included. We have stayed here twice and enjoy it each time. Highly recommend. It is walking distance to a lot of places to eat and down to the beach.
