This was our first visit to this hotel. We got a partial ocean view room. There was a large balcony, but it was shared with another room. Unfortunately, we had the 2nd room furthest from the ocean. So, part of our ocean view was blocked by a wall facing the neighboring room. We specifically asked about getting a room closest... more

You go to a beach hotels are for the beach and most have quirks. La Jolla Shores is no exception. Perfect location and beautiful courtyard, pool area and views of the surf. Restaurant food is pretty good at reasonable prices and great views. The drawback is the rooms: musty smelling (like many beach hotels), dreadful air conditioning (hopefully, you don't... more

Really enjoyed the hotel After we got the right room.They tried to tell us street side room was a coastal view. more

My daughter (now 11) and I have stayed here several times in the past half-dozen years. It's great if you have children: the hotel is right on the beach -- you can go out to the beach barefoot from the hotel if you choose; there is a heated pool (small) and hottub; and there is a small playground in the... more

We enjoyed our stay very much! We had a room with a patio on the ground floor facing the beach. We were able to keep the patio door open at night so we could hear the ocean. Highly recommend the Marine Room restaurant, excellent food, service and what a view! We were somewhat disappointed with the Easter buffet at the... more

I stayed at the La Jolla Shores Hotel for one week and couldn't have been happier with the service, cleanliness, location, rooms, value, etc. The beds are extremely comfortable! Great hotel at a great value!!!!! more

This hotel is in dire need of renovation. Not worth $179 per day that we paid, irrespective of the nice location on the sand. In my opinion not worth more than $79 per night. The room must have had the same bed cover, carpet and funiture from the early 70's, so you can imagine the smell of the room, couldn't... more

Went there for a quick business trip. Beach is literally right there, you can hear the waves coming in from your room. It is a quiet area with a few restaurants nearby but not much else (that I know of). There is a small pool in the courtyard area and the lobby is quaint with stonework and a fountain. The... more

We came to San Diego for the Holiday Bowl and decided to spend a couple nights in La Jolla prior to the game. The hotel location is great - right on the beach. Very close walks to other eateries and we really enjoyed a couple hour kayaking tour with La Jolla Kayaks. Of course the weather in San Diego was... more
