Top La Jolla Hotel Reviews

The Shoal La Jolla Beach

The Shoal La Jolla Beach

8/10 Good
"The rooms are clean and the location is amazing!!! 4 minute walk to the beach, coffee shops and restaurants. My daughter and i both felt safe and the beds where comfortable. Although the first room that we did get was full of mosquitoes we killed seven within 10 minutes of being there and my daughter and I both got bit twice which we get allergic reaction so that was not pretty but the gentleman at the front desk did change her room immediately and make sure that the next room was mosquito free. I would stay there again."
