The hotel offers a beautiful experience right on the beach, making it perfect for a seaside getaway. My room was stylish and recently renovated with a lovely balcony where I could sip my coffee while enjoying ocean views. However, I did notice some minor service hiccups during my stay that dampened the overall experience a bit. The location is fantastic, with easy access to a variety of restaurants nearby, though dining options within the hotel could be improved.

The hotel has a fantastic beachfront location that's perfect for anyone looking to enjoy the sun and sea. However, my experience was marred by excessive noise from adjacent rooms and construction outside, which really affected my comfort during my stay. Although the room itself had potential with a great kitchenette, the disturbance made it hard to relax. The dining options were decent but a bit overpriced given the overall experience.

The hotel has a fantastic beach location that’s ideal for quick access to the shore and nearby restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the bed could have been better with more support. The dining experience at the on-site restaurant was good, but it was a bit disappointing to be denied access to breakfast at the sister property despite being guests. Overall, it’s a great spot to enjoy the beach, but some service aspects need improvement.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the proximity to the beach was fantastic and I enjoyed the beachfront room with beautiful views, I was disappointed with the service as the staff seemed disengaged. The rooms, although clean, are in dire need of updating. The dining options were decent, but nothing extraordinary. Overall, the location is its biggest strength, but some improvements could make the stay much better.

My stay at La Jolla Shores Hotel started off on the right foot with its direct access to the beach, making sunbathing a breeze. Unfortunately, the room I received was disappointing; I had hoped for an upper-level beachfront room but ended up at ground level with unwanted noise. While some staff were accommodating, others seemed indifferent to my requests. The location is perfect for beach lovers, but my experience was marred by issues with my room placement and service that left much to be desired. It's a shame because the potential is there for an amazing stay.

Rooms

The room I received was on the ground floor next to a busy staircase, which was noisy and lacked privacy. This definitely detracted from my experience.
