We stayed for five days to visit family in the area. The other reviewers are right about the need for updating. I've honestly had a more comfortable bed at an Econolodge! All I ask from a pricey hotel room is a comfortable bed, good linens and a quiet night's sleep. This hotel provided none of these. The bed was hard... more

My sister and i stayed at this hotel for 5 days in September. We were in California for my son's wedding , and the reception was in La Jolla, so we stayed at this hotel since it was walking distance from the reception. We had a wonderful experience-----we were upgraded to an ocean view room without even requesting it----and it... more

Great location, pleasant rooms, nice amenities but in desperate and dire need of a refurbishment from decoration to new beds to soft furnishings and bathroom fittings. Plumbing awful, frequently blocked lavatory which spewed water over bathroom and bedroom before noticed, so last 2 days of vacation were spent on a soggy bathroom carpet. more

My wife and I stayed here for 3 days in mid-September as a base for attending my sister's wedding. Frommer's had it about right - dated and in need of remodel including services and amenities. The only good thing going for this hotel was the proximity of the ocean. Pluses - Ocean - We left the sliding glass door open... more

I'm so glad that I stayed at the La Jolla Shores hotel recently during a trip to San Diego. My business trip took me north of San Diego, but I decided to fly in a day early and treat myself to a night in La Jolla and a private surf lesson. After MUCH looking at reviews on this site by... more

If visiting your student at UCSD, this hotel is great! It's close to campus, on the beach and has fabulous La Jolla restaurants nearby. A romantic getaway it's not. But it's a fun atmosphere regardless of the noise when room faces the public park with ocean view. The hotel offers many incentives throughout the year, so ask for them. Staff... more

I simply can not believe that I paid £800 for four nights in this hotel. On arrival at check in (dont get ripped off paying to park on site, there are plenty of parking spaces around the streets near the hotel), we were given our keys. Reception looked a little dated, but the girl on reception seemed very friendly. We... more

Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, first the staff was friendly, the food was excellent, and the rooms were nice. I stayed at room 130, on the first floor, over looking the beach and park, beautiful room remodeled with a 36(?) inch tv. Bathrooms were clean and look pleasing. closeness to the beach is unbeatable. Fun experience and I... more

I'll be brief since others have previously done a good job of describing the hotel. The people were very nice and the service was very competent. The location is obviously an excellent one being right on the beach/ocean. There is a large community park next door as well (north side of the hotel). The restaurant is nicely done and the... more
