Horrible! The worst quality for the price I've ever had. We booked an ocean view room for $500+/night after discounts and were unpleasantly surprised with the room quality - almost everything was old and required repairs, screens on the balcony doors did not open, toilet flush was taking unusually long time (more about it later), walls/doors scratched and required painting,... more

This was an awesome place for the money. I can't tell you how great it was to walk out of our hotel room, walk 10 feet and boom, you're right at the ocean. The beach was a little crowded but you were able to take little beach chairs from the hotel and towels and just sit on the beach. The... more

The location of this hotel is perfect! Long, sandy beach with gentle waves; perfect for boogie boarding little ones. The rooms and cleanliness of the upper floors leaves a lot to be desired, though. I found myself dreading returning to our room b/c of the old, musty smell, but the location on the beach will keep us coming back. The... more

We are locals who live not far from La Jolla. We stayed one night here, for the fourth of July. I have to say, our room was completely dated and the bathroom was terrible. My friend, who lives in La Jolla, said other towers of the hotel had been updated and I hope this is true. Because from what we... more

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
