La Jolla Shores Hotel

La Jolla Shores Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at the La Jolla Shores Hotel for the second week of our California vacation after a week at Disneyland. It was a much needed retreat after a busy week in the parks. The building and rooms are clearly aging and the bathroom could definitely use work but we chose this hotel for the beautiful location and easy beach access. Th restaurant was wonderful and we enjoy wonderful views and sunsets."

"Not the prettiest stay; it does give motel energy. But it was clean and good for a quick weekend trip. Parking wasn't outrageous and came out of the deposit. Staff was very pleasant, and there were no hang-ups. Would recommend for a quick, no-frills trip to SD,"
