    Ok for the money

    I think overall the concept of these chain hotels needs to improve. They are ok but not great! There is a lack of design and creativity in these spaces to make them more unique. Also, the breakfast is not good. These hotels need to up their game when it comes to espresso machines and quality of food. Maybe take a trip to Europe to see how they do it there.

    We really liked how spacious the room was. We also liked the beds being comfortable and the bedsheets very nice and clean. Ample place for parking.

    Breakfast was good. However, I stayed there 13 days and food options were always the same. It would have been nice if they changed from time to time.

    Residence Inn is a very nice set of apartments in La Jolla. Very close to UCSD and supermarkets. It is very quiet and facilities are great. I loved I can get coffee and tea at anytime from reception.

    Expensive; small suite, lot of apartments crowded into a small space, zero charm being stuck between freeways

    Breakfast bar has a good variety of food. Shopping mall nearby was 10 minute walk.

    Parking fee is too high and didn't use it. Breakfast was the usual but ended at 9a.m. They were cleaning up before we finished eating. Everything taken away. Should be longer.

    Room was fine. Needs an update for sure.

    The weather was very humid. While I used the AC in the room, it also felt a bit humid in the room. Not sure there's much they can do about that. So not really a "ding" against the hotel.

    The room was a good size for our needs and I liked that it has a full kitchen. I was able to find parking close to our room and grateful that we got a room on the ground floor (no stairs to climb with all our stuff). The breakfast was plentiful and staff attentive to cleaning and ensuring the area was pleasant and well maintained. Overall it was a very good visit.

    I know you can't help it but parking was limited. But it was a good experience

    Random recurring noise (like mechanical gurgling sound) on the other side of wall (outside - in mechanical area, not heat or ac unit). Made sleeping difficult - left fan on all night to have some "white noise". Parking was hit and miss. Lots available on the property, but right in front of our unit got filled up quickly - had to park a few buildings away.

    Good sized room. Well stocked kitchen. Breakfast options good. Clean fitness center. Pet friendly.

    Some of the houses were covered wrt pest control. The idea that a day later the apartments were rented again, gave some discomfort. I guess it will all be within safety limits, but the idea, that my room was possibly also treated with chemicals the days before is not a comfortable idea.

    The service, the room and the breakfast.
