Top La Jolla Shores Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

8/10 Good

"The staff was very friendly and helpful."

Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina

8/10 Good

"Clean and nice but a dated facility. Staff were all very friendly and professional, even gave me an upgraded view without me asking. I was there on business mostly, but the pool are and water slides looked fun for a family trip, and the location is great for beach and boating. Downside was $55/night for self parking (or valet)."

Best Western Seven Seas

10/10 Excellent

"Too close to the freeway in my opinion so you hear the noise even with closed doors and windows, but other than that, this place is decent for the price. I did not use the restaurant or bar, but they look pretty good, I used the jacuzzi, but the pool is not heated. You have up get the pool towel from the front desk or bring one from your room - it’s the same kind of towel."
