The Shoal La Jolla Beach

The Shoal La Jolla Beach

8/10 Good
"The price was good for LaJolla and the room was clean and well appointed. It had a very comfortable bed and great pillows. The hotel is located in a good spot, a short walk to the beach to watch the surfers. The pool looked green and uninviting, and it is walled in. It isn't a spot where you would want to sit and read a book. But it is fine for a brief swim."
