La Jolla Shores Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was great, a little dated but well kept. We didn't know half the building would be under construction so the noise was a bit of an issue and the lack of pool was disappointing. But the staff was very attentive and the neighborhood was very cute with nice restaurants. I would go back."

La Jolla Cove Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Best location, right across street from the cove!"
