The MGM sure is Grand. Grand in the sense that I had to walk more than halfway across the hotel to get to my room, but it was a really nice room. I upgraded from a room in their Grand Tower to one in their West Wing. It's the best and most modern…More »

Not bad for a so-called "green" hotel. They don't have their toiletries in containers. Instead, the soap, lotion, shampoo, and conditioner come in dispensers to cut down on waste. The size of the room was, well roomy. It had a high ceiling which I…More »

I got a really nice deal with this hotel. Good enough that it had a few friends say, "What, you're staying in La Jolla?!?!"  Why yes, yes I am! Turns out that prices on hotels around this area are a bit steep, so I really lucked out on this one. The…More »
