La Jolla Shores Hotel

Avoid for business travel or if you're a light sleeper the hotel decor is dated and the room smelled musty. the biggest problem though was noise. walls are paper thin. we could hear conversation in the adjacent room, very loud housekeeping conversations in the breezeway and in the passage in front of our hotel door. The housekeeping cart sounded very loud on the tiles. there was also loud tree trimming. i had zoom meetings to do and the noise was really disruptive. i was hosted by UCSD. i will notify my host not to book this hotel for business travelers. it's not a good business hotel atmosphere.

Family friendly staycation! Wonderful place to stay with kids and grandparents. They had a great time in the pool and on the beach. Enjoyed the restaurant, and proximity to other food options. Beds and pillows are very comfortable. We also enjoyed ping pong on the patio. Loved the free coffee stand in the mornings (though no decaf or non-dairy options).

The pancakes are soo fluffy The laid back casual comforts of The Shores is the perfect place for family vacations. Situated on the beach, there's kayak and surfing activities or the Birch Aquarium close by. You have a delicious choice of food options at the restaurant & bar either inside or outside around fire pits. Right around the corner is a small charming village with a wide variety of restaurants, coffee bars and places to shop. There's games set up in the courtyard like ping pong and foosball, plus the pool and hot tub are heated. The staff is amazing and always happy to help, this will become our family winter reunion.

Sadly we won’t go back. Just meh We booked this hotel through Travel Zoo and thought “why not try it out!” They must be giving travel zoo people the most run down, ghetto rooms or the advertisement photos are super old. Our room was VERY dated and both room and bathroom run down. They literally take a flat white sheet and lay it over the blanket. Zero effort put into the room. TV barely worked as the remote was super old. Checking in the front desk staff girl was very friendly and kind. We decided to eat dinner at the hotel that night and opted for a table on the Lounge side. There were two bartenders and I wish I had gotten his name (big guy) because he could not have been more indifferent to us being there. Very unfriendly and when our order wasn’t complete he watched the poor bus boy who ran our food struggle to figure it out. Never came over. Never checked on us nothing. Looking back we should have tipped the other guy instead. We won’t go back. My husband was really glad we didn’t pay full price for the rooms. We were looking up other hotels in the area while we were there and found one we will try next time. Be aware of the daily resort fee they tag on when you get there; $35-40 something like that. Save the $45 parking and park on the street. Check out was easy and again front desk girl was very kind.

Quick overnight in La Jolla Rooms are spacious, bed and pillows super comfortable. Food and old fashions were excellent. So glad we spent the night after visiting friends in San Diego. We ate dinner and breakfast at the shores restaurant. Had clam chowder and the fish tacos for dinner. Lemon ricotta pancakes _ for breakfast. Everything was absolutely excellent.
