Rosario Sent on 11/06/2019Beautiful Time at the La Jolla Cove Hotel and Suites
La Jolla Cove suites definitely has its pros and cons, but when it came down to having our wedding weekend here, we were more than happy with the service and the level of attention we received from the staff. The smell from the Cove could be smelled throughout the property so that was a little unpleasant, but the location, amenities and their special terrace suites were well worth the trip. We loved the big Terrace Suite with the best view, right next to Starbucks, and had plenty of room for our whole family to come by and hang out. The saltwater pool was kept well in use and the rooftop accommodated us for so many occasions! We loved the area and the central location. There is so much to do and there are plenty of delicious places to walk to and eat at, too. Our guests had so many great things to say about this property.
We had one little hiccup with our point-person ghosting us and getting fired 2 weeks before our wedding and had to vet out all of the final details with the new person just 1 week before. They were sure to make sure they made up for that by providing complimentary tables and linens and a new professional point-person. -

Beautiful venue for our wedding! We got married Spring of 2022 and had a wonderful evening with our guests on the rooftop overlooking the La Jolla Cove! Thank you so much to Ann Marie and Kristina for their professionalism, great attitudes, and help putting together an event to remember! -

Beautiful Rooftop Views of La Jolla
Stunning remodeled rooftop. We just had our event there and we couldn't have asked for a better location. Venue included lounge furniture, fireplaces, and the prettiest covered pergola awning. Alma and her team were so great to work with. Super accommodating and flexible, which is great for wedding days. -

Melissa Sent on 12/18/2014Most BEAUTIFUL scenery for a ceremony venue. If you want to have an ocean backdrop but do not want to have sand on your dress this IS the place for you. The actual hotel is not 5 star but the rooftop view is just breathtaking! -
User1693591 Sent on 07/03/2014I am in love with this venue and its staff and I am still a few months away from the wedding! Tracy is amazing at her job, she is responsive and very helpful. She has been the main contact for me and I have no complaints so far. The venue itself is beautiful and they just repainted the rooftop and got new tables and chairs. I know the guests at our wedding are going to appreciate the location and the view. -
User1277576 Sent on 08/07/2013La Jolla Cove Suites is absolutely magical. We could not have found a more perfect location to get married. We wanted a beach wedding, without the sand and this place did not disappoint. It provides 180 degree panoramic view of beautiful La Jolla ocean. You are so close you can hear the seals barking. Plus, we were able to use all the amazing spots around the hotel for pictures, including walking down to the beach.
The staff was absolutely amazing and worked so hard to make our vision a reality. They were professional and really made us feel incredibly special. Joy in particular was a life saver throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was so organized really catered to all our needs. She is so knowledgable of what we would need and thought of all the little details we never would remember. She also is so great with communication and always gets back to you SUPER fast, which I definitely appreciated. I highly recommend the bridal suite as well...it was a great place to get ready with all the bridesmaids. Most of our wedding party came from out of town and all we heard about was how great the wedding was. Over half our friends changed their facebook profile pic to one from the venue! That's how you know it is good! Overall, two thumbs up and we already can't wait to go back to celebrate our one year anniversary! -
User1156816 Sent on 05/08/2013Hard to go wrong with tihs view! The people we dealt with for the wedding were great and very helpful. The hotel staff did try to put us into "the bridal suite with 2 full beds"???? instead of one with a King bed, but we rectified that immediately and got the "actual bridal suite" which was just above the one with 2 beds-lol the rooms were clean, the pool area gorgeous, and the rooftop was simply spectacular. -

Kimberly Sent on 09/07/2008We knew this was the place the moment we saw it. The view of the cove is spectacular! It was perfect! The staff was friendly, courteous and helpful. They were with me from the beginning to the end. The only thing was it was a little expensive and for the price, like other hotels, I would have expected a complimentary room the night of the wedding and maybe a "special" price for our guests that chose to stay there. Neither of which was offered. They were helpful in getting me the room as early as possible but I thought it wasn't too much to ask for a comped room for the bride and groom the night of. Also the parking was a little tricky and there weren't a whole lot of options that didn't cost more money. They even charged us for our parking spots if you stayed there. All in all, everything went as planned the day and the staff was wonderful, especially Kiana who put up with my crazy questions and requests for 6 months of planning the wedding. I think it was a wonderful place to have a wedding if you are looking for a great view and a large space. However, for the price, I would recommend something else for those on a budget. You are also required to find your own vendors (some of which are exclusive to the venue) and that can be a little pricey as well. -

Anne D. Sent on 06/23/2021Pretty good but confirm before arrival
We arrived to discover we had a room on the sixth floor and they had decided to renovate the elevator without notifying us there would be no elevator! We had to carry everything from the front elevator on the fourth floor, to our suite on the far corner of the sixth floor. We had to change plans for all wedding prep, and our 93 & 94 year old guests still had to climb the stairs! Horrible and definitely not legal.
New rooms are nice, but make sure they aren’t violating any ADA laws before checking in. -
User1436834 Sent on 11/13/2013The venue at La jolla cove suites was amazing. You cannot beat the view with an open rooftop and perfect weather. However, if you are looking for good customer service find another venue with an amazing view.
We had called ahead of time to get the bridal suite early to load all of our items for the next day and to get ready for the rehersal with plenty of time to get things done. They assured us that would be fine and that day when we got there at the time we had said 10am, the room was not ready. We were told it was being cleaned and would be ready soon. It was never finsihed until 230pm. A half hour before check in. We then had to rush to be ready for the rehersal at 330.
Also, when we arrived, we saw our sales clerk walking by and I waved to say hi and she acted as though she barely knew who I was. She said hi and walked away. What venue where you are spending lots of money, does not acknowledge your presence? No one to say we are excited for you, no one to say how can we help you?, no one to say congratulations. It was absured! The whole day they acted as though we did not exist.
Finally, we were suppose to get the security deposit within 30 days of the wedding, which was stated in the contract. It was not recieved until a few weeks past the 30 days due to my husband demanding to speak with a manager, accounting, and our sales clerk. Our sales clerk was always gone or out of town and not even the manager could help us until we kept calling to finally catch her answering the phone.
Do not have your reception here unless you do not care about good customer service. -

Sarah E. Sent on 08/27/2019Great view but that’s about it
I recently had my wedding at La Jolla cove hotel and suites (both the ceremony and reception). It turned out to be a beautiful wedding but getting to that point was a headache to say the least. I’ve never been involved in planning a wedding so the countless hidden costs were a big surprise; the pricey fee got you the rooftop and that was about it, EVERYTHING else was an additional cost with fees added to what seemed like everything. In addition, our contract had changed (according to the manager) and I was told that we no longer needed to fill a set amount of rooms, which was in the original contract. I asked for an updated contract and was told, again by the manager, I didn’t need one. I was given several different prices about the charge for the bridal suite (started at $230 and ended up being told it would be $500). When I confronted them about these changes and how frustrating it was, the manager said they couldn’t give me any additional discounts as I had not fulfilled booking the set amount of rooms stated in the original contract. At this point it was a few days before the wedding and I was furious as I was told we were no longer obligated to fulfill that. Luckily, I had the emails as evidence to show the discrepancies in what I was being told. There was NO accountability on the managers side of this, even when confronted with the proof. Like I said, it ended up being a beautiful wedding and the view is amazing but if you choose to have your wedding here, I’ll offer 2 big suggestions: 1) get EVERYTHING in writing so you have proof if they change things as much as they did with me and 2) ask about what is actually included in the price and what you’ll have to pay extra for, the list of additions adds up and adds up quickly. -

Allie K. Sent on 10/17/2022Beautiful views but do not book your wedding here
I had my wedding here last weekend and if I could do it again I would NOT book here again. To start, they have a high turnover rates, so in the last year, I had about 3-4 point of contacts, which each told us different things. biggest issues:
1) They only have 2 elevator in the building. One is fairly small and works, but the other elevator, in the pines buildings, breaks a lot. My husband and I were stuck in it during our wedding for at least 10-15min and we had multiple guests get stuck throughout the night. When I mentioned to the Event manager, Alma, she told me she was working on it and/or did not have the authority to put a do not use sign. It took a few hours and a few more guests to get stuck before they put a do not use sin on the elevator. And my vendors had to carry large tables up and down 5 flights of stairs because the day before/after the event the elevator was not working. I also emailed her about this after the event and was told that "it was reset and working fine" and they put up the do not use sign after the 2nd guest was stuck in it.
2) My husband and I paid $2.50 extra per person to serve Pacifico instead of Corona, which was not brought up to the bar until an hour and a half into the bar being open. I spoke to the bartenders after the event and they told me on the list the hotel provided them that there was no Pacifico on the list. I email the venue after the event and asked for a partial refund since we paid extra for it and it was not provide for some time, and the response Alma provided was "we have no obligation to provide an item for the duration of the event." Even though we paid extra for it, they will not issue a partial refund.
3) venue lighting. When we first toured the venue (about a year before our wedding) I noticed there little lighting, and when I asked if there was lighting on the rooftop, the sales manager at the time told us there was lighting. I went back to the venue 3 weeks before my wedding and asked again about the lighting and was told by someone else there was "too much lighting guests normally ask to turn it down". We went back 4 days before the wedding and the new sales manager, Alma, told us that there actually was no lighting on one side of the venue/stairs leading up to the bathroom. Days leading up to the event, I was trying to work with the venue to figure out the lighting situation, the event manager took a day off (2 days before the wedding) and the accounting manager, Gus, was helpful but he refused to provide me with a backup plan if the lighting was not fixed on the event. He repeatedly kept saying "it will be fixed" but wouldn't provide a backup solution if the electrician was not able to fix it. It eventually ended up being fine, but added much additional stress the week of the wedding.
Lastly, the sales manager Alma was fairly rude to me, my MOH, and a few other friends that were helping set up. She seemed very stressed out the entire event.
