It's a beautiful building, and the grounds are perfect...but there are two basic problems with the Lodge. First, as other reviews have indicated, the guest rooms are dark. With every light on, including the reading lights above the bed, the room seems dreary. Don't get me wrong...it's a large room and very nice, but just dark. Second, the marine layer was in during our entire stay and the air conditioning just could not keep up with the humidity in the room. The linens seemed damp and it was impossible to dry my hair.

Some housekeeping issues...the wallpaper by the shower/tub was falling off and the handle to the shower/tub was loose.

Staff at the hotel friendly and efficient.

We were told that the Grill was voted the best casual restaurant in San Diego, and it's good, but cannot be the second best place in the area.

Side note....the golf starter in the little start house was rude and seemed to hate his job when asked questions on rates, tee times, etc.

Overall, very nice, and I would return.

I was lucky enough to go to the Lodge for work in early June. It's a beautiful hotel on a gorgeous property. The lobby is welcoming and well-appointed without feeling stuffy. Loved the fire in the fireplace and rocking chairs all around. The bar was a lot of fun. And I had excellent breakfasts on the porch. The private dining room for 12 of us one night was fantastic. The service across the entire property was outstanding.

My only complaint is that my room was in what could be called Siberia (if the hotel really had that) so my room was quite a walk from the lobby. But the space was lovely and I had my own little private porch to sit outside and read.

I would love to go back!!

This is my favorite resort. I enjoyed the golf , the spa and the locaation adjoining Torrey pines state park. The service was excellent and I will definately go back.

You will not be disappointed with The Lodge at Torrey Pines. The staff was excellent, the grounds were immaculate, the service was beyond my expectations. At The Grill restaurant, I had one of the best martinis of my life and one of the finest meals...an amazing Ruby Trout. We stayed in one of the Palisade King rooms, overlooking the croquet lawn and 18th hole. The room was spacious, with a fireplace, a very roomy balcony, bathroom with a separate room for the toilet. The balcony is perfect. You know those balconies that while you are standing up everything looks great but when you sit down you can't see a thing? Well, this is not one of those. Two comfortable outdoor chairs and a table for your drinks, you can see the amazing sky, the sunset, the ocean and the beautiful pine trees.
I hope to visit again soon and often.
