Good stay but more expensive than we usually do.

Nice building, old but well maintained. The area is nice and the beach is right there. We didn't like that the bar/restaurant closed at 9PM. Front desk was helpful. We thought it was way too expensive and only stayed because some other family was there.

Somewhat disappointed in our stay at La Jolla Shores Hotel. The property is older and showing its age. We sprang for an ocean-front room and the balcony was of limited use -- strangely configured with pillars and a weird zigzag design, and filthy -- although the view was great if you stood at the end at looked out. Other family members stayed at the hotel too and their balcony was lovely so it's not an issue with every room. We experienced a slew of minor problems (the door to the adjacent guestroom wouldn't lock; problems with the toilet; the hotel shuttle taking us to an event was so late we'd finally jumped in alternative transportation by the time it arrived; the staff billed the wrong card and it took 5 phone calls to get that fixed). Definitely nothing major and the staff was friendly and accommodating when something popped up -- even left us a fruit plate after the shuttle incident. Overall, I wouldn't say the hotel is bad, just rather meh considering the price. But you can't beat the location on beautiful La Jolla Shores. That's what you're paying for!

Hotel charged us for resort fee ; we had requested them to take it off before checking in . This fee was not there when we booked the room on Expedia . The front desk also promised us that they will not charge us this resort fee when we left . This is a very sneaky way of charging extra when we had already paid before hand just by asking for a credit card for just in case .

Great weekend !

Loved our time at La Jolla Shores. Amazing location, with a cute little village across the street with restaurants and shops. Such a great area to walk (in either direction!) The hotel itself was beautiful. As some other reviews have said, it could use a little TLC. Everything was clean and fine you could just tell some stuff a bit outdated. The shower head was about 5ft up which my 6’4 husband didn’t love. Only negative was one night after dinner out we weren’t ready to call it so came into the bar for a drink before bed. The bartender was sooo rude it was kind of awkward. Another group came in after us and he scared them off, we left after one quick drink. Front desk and cleaning staff were amazing!

Location, location, location! Being on the beach was the best! Loved looking out at the ocean. The facilities were a bit outdated, but everything was clean enough. The location was nice and quiet, away from the beaten path and away from downtown La Jolla. Plenty of eating places within walking distance of the hotel. Easy enough to find parking on the street (free!), to avoid paying $40\night parking fee in the hotel garage.
