This is a great little resort right on the beach of La Jolla shores . Walk to many restaurants in the area. Nice pool with umbrellas and towels on the sand. Rooms need some updating and refurbishing! Beds are comfortable and it’s fairly quiet. Staff is friendly

Never again

I wouldn’t recommend La Jolla Shores Hotel. First, $40 day with your reservation for 2 daily water bottles basically because we didn’t get the rest of the promised benefits of the $40. One of our rooms my family stayed in was cleaned once and I had finally asked if they could clean it while we were out and the front desk said they’d take care of it, we came back to another day of no cleaning. The only service that was consistent was the kid taking us a chair and umbrella to the beach. The Restaurants overrated. Rooms outdated and our door was broken and we requested a room change or the door fixed at the front desk and we were told maintenance would be right over, it didn’t happen and at one point a man walked in on us because we didn’t shut the door (the broken way) we ended up using the chain while we stayed in and that worked as long as one of us wasn’t out while someone slept because the door to shut it was so loud that you wouldn’t be asleep after that. The amount of money we paid for those rooms I had hoped for much better quality service. Had it not been for the ocean walk of 5mins that would have been the worse hotel. They knew our concerns and they were aware we were unhappy when we filled the “How was your stay” questionnaire and I waited and hoped someone would have reached out before I wrote a review but that didn’t happen either.

Loved it!

This hotel is a bit old and the wood/amenities /decor shows it. With that said, we had an ocean side room with beautiful views. We could easily walk onto the beach in minutes. The staff was very nice and the room was clean and comfortable. If you are really into modern rooms and decor, you might not like this place, but if you want a comfortable and clean place that is good for adults or families and 2 minutes from the water, check this place out!
