Lodge at Torrey Pines

I was in San Diego a few days and made a sudden change in hotels because of issues with our original reservation. We reserved the morning of checkin and were able to find a suitable room. We only stayed a night but the change was worth it. Torrey Pines does not scream luxury. It is much more subtle and quiet. I fully appreciated our stay. I was looking for peace and a good night's sleep. I got that and more. We enjoyed a drink at AR Valentine the night of check in. Service was very good, as were the items we ordered. We watched the sun set in an array of beautiful colors. I enjoyed walking the grounds upon check in and a great 2 hour hike the next morning to and through Torrey Pines Reserve (just stunning), then sitting down to breakfast on the terrace at Valentine's. The short stay was memorable. It helped us center after a rough night at the prior hotel. There was a tranquillity to the stay that reminded me of a stay I experienced at an amazing hotel on Lake Geneva in Europe: nothing glitzy, just absolute peace. There are kids and families but it was still quiet on my particular stay. There were other little perks about the hotel I wish I had known. The gym looked a decent size, the saunas at the spa were available to all guests at no additional cost, the pool and hot tub were open 24/7. Torrey Pines golf course, a public course, is hotel adjacent. I thought this was a real plus for golfers and wanna-be golfers like myself. The only downside for me was the bed - it was a little more stiff and springy than I am used to but I still managed to get a good night's sleep. With minor exception the staff were friendly and service was outstanding. I really appreciated my stay at the Lodge and look forward to my another stay.

Another outstanding stay at this luxury hotel ideally situated close to lots of trails and exploring in the state park. The food and service was excellent. The pool area is great and easy to grab a bite to eat and a drink right there.

I stayed with my family at the Lodge during April for our spring break trip to San Diego. I had previously lived in La Jolla for graduate school many years earlier, so it was fun to return to the area. We really enjoyed our stay at the Lodge. The room was very spacious, comfortable, and well taken care of. We overlooked a really lovely peaceful courtyard with lots of local vegetation and had a small balcony where we could sit and enjoy morning coffee or just relax. The Lodge itself is very pretty, great craftsman style architecture throughout, very aesthetically pleasing. We also made good use of the Lodge’s other facilities, including lots of time at the pool and hot tub and several very good meals at the restaurant. It was lovely to sit at the restaurant overlooking the golf course and ocean, and get to see the paragliders drifting by. The views from the hotel over the ocean and at sunset are really beautiful. I also took a walk into the top part of Torrey Pines Nature Reserve, which was about a 10 min walk from the hotel. We had a great stay and I would love to return and stay at the Lodge again!

Seems that the "friendliness" of the resort has diminished. We have been going for a number of years, and it seems this year that they have gotten a bit more "snippy" on the phone and really not interested in assisting with tee times. When I called this time, I also seemed to hear, when being put on hold in the queue some other name, as if the resort is now managed by a third party, so not sure if its now been sold and they are becoming more "corporate."

Just stayed at Lodge and booked a $900 per night room plus amenities fee, plus parking fee, plus taxes. My first stay here, expected good quality, considering this price. Unfortunately room is very dated with incredibly dirty old carpets everywhere, that was simply revolting You laying in your bed and foul odor coming from carpets, just terrible. Room 105 I had a patio door coming out directly to the golf course, that door doesn't even lock, anyone can come in out anytime in you room. And last night hotel staff brought in a large Uhall box track, parked it directly in front of my patio and were slowly loading/unloading some equipment from 9:30pm through 12pm , banging metal to metal, screaming, yelling. I mean 15 feet from my bed, until midnight. Initially checking in we had a front desk person in training, and she did mention that fact. And that's fine, however she couldn't even explain how to get to our room from the lobby, and it would've been fine, but this hotel is a bit of a maze with multiple levels and wings. And there were nobody there to explain properly, so we figure it out on our own, but that was unpleasant.
