The location of the property is very good if you are interested in being on the Shores. However, the age of the property is showing and things look a little worn, musty smell etc. My main issue however is that I selected this property based on location (and previous stay) for a quiet, peaceful beach retreat. This was true most evenings except Friday night when the hotel had an event it the courtyard within a few feet of my window involving very loud (and really bad) karaoke until late in the night. When I commented about this at the front desk I was told that:" Weddings are always more fun when you are invited." I'm still trying to wrap my head around that one. Was it my fault for staying at the hotel without being invited to the random wedding outside my window? In any case be aware of events in the courtyard if interested in quiet location.

door lock didn't work which was a real disruption, shuttle service not fully available, room not clean, first night shower drain was very slow, phone didn't work, maintenance never fixed the door or phone issue. location amazing, walkable to restaurants, right on beach. Good coffee in morning included. A little disappointing that the 'resort' is so tired and in need of better maintenance and cleaning to make it a great experience.

This is a great little resort right on the beach of La Jolla shores . Walk to many restaurants in the area. Nice pool with umbrellas and towels on the sand. Rooms need some updating and refurbishing! Beds are comfortable and it’s fairly quiet. Staff is friendly

Never again

I wouldn’t recommend La Jolla Shores Hotel. First, $40 day with your reservation for 2 daily water bottles basically because we didn’t get the rest of the promised benefits of the $40. One of our rooms my family stayed in was cleaned once and I had finally asked if they could clean it while we were out and the front desk said they’d take care of it, we came back to another day of no cleaning. The only service that was consistent was the kid taking us a chair and umbrella to the beach. The Restaurants overrated. Rooms outdated and our door was broken and we requested a room change or the door fixed at the front desk and we were told maintenance would be right over, it didn’t happen and at one point a man walked in on us because we didn’t shut the door (the broken way) we ended up using the chain while we stayed in and that worked as long as one of us wasn’t out while someone slept because the door to shut it was so loud that you wouldn’t be asleep after that. The amount of money we paid for those rooms I had hoped for much better quality service. Had it not been for the ocean walk of 5mins that would have been the worse hotel. They knew our concerns and they were aware we were unhappy when we filled the “How was your stay” questionnaire and I waited and hoped someone would have reached out before I wrote a review but that didn’t happen either.
