La Jolla Shores Hotel

La Jolla Shores Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I just visited with my 2 teenagers - boy/girl twins 16 yo. This was our 1rst time to La Jolla. We stayed 4 nights. Was a little concerned when I read about the hotel. being old. I LOVED this hotel. it literally has everything.. The free coffee in the morning at the restaurant was such a nice treat in the am. The patio is beachfront and a great place to watch the surfers or just stare out at the ocean and listen to the sounds. We had an umbrella and chairs set up 2 of the days - the boys at the beach stand are so helpful and polite. The pool and hot tub were a bit monopolized at times by a large family but it wasn't that big of a deal for us. I enjoyed watching the fabulous sunset from the front "lawn" area in the Adirondack chairs listening to nice background music. The restaurant is so convenient and has great food albeit a bit on the expensive side. The location for this hotel is so easy to access I- 5. The kids and I walked to La Jolla Cove the first day - some of it was on a major road. it was about 1.5-2 miles to the Cove. We did not rent a car - we have Ubered whenever we wanted to go to a different area. Low Key mellow vibe! Relaxing, peaceful, comfortable beds. Yes the hotel could use a few upgrades but there is nothing urgent. The outdoor patio space is nice and "
