Top La Jolla Hotel Reviews

La Jolla Shores Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a perfect location. It’s right next to the beach. It’s a pet friendly hotel. Checks all the boxes. The staff was very kind and helpful. The free chairs and towels set up on the beach was a very very nice touch. The only negative comment would be about the elevators. The elevators had a strong odor of dog urine. Other than that, it was a very enjoyable stay. Thank you."

Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego La Jolla

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay very much. The suite had a full kitchen stocked with dishes, silverware, and pans, along with a dishwasher, and an ice maker in the fridge! There were 2 levels with 2 bathrooms with plenty of room for the 5 of us to spread out. Very important with 3 kids and 2 adults. The kids enjoyed the pool as it was only 5ft at the deepest so they felt more comfortable. Breakfast service was a nice variety, and the cold brew coffee was a lovely addition. All in all, 5*."
