The Shoal La Jolla Beach was a great place to stay to explore the area. It took about three minutes to walk to the beach. The room was quite spacious and recently renovated. The beds were comfortable and the shower had good water pressure. The staff was what made this place so special. They were so friendly and helpful.

The location is great. We didn’t like that parking is extra. The pool was nice. The floors probably weren’t as clean in the room as they should be

Good stay a few set backs

The room was great, staff were amazing. Walls were not sound proof. I woke up at 4:30am due to the people above me walking around with shoes on. From what I could hear they had a sick child. The man next-door made a phone call and we could hear the entire conversation like he was in the room.

Comfortable enough for a night. Newly renovated but missing attention to detail in the finishing of the renovations- gaps in the tile for no reason for instance. Loud at night (it was a Monday night, I could hear conversations 2 rooms away). Parking is tight. Bed comfy.

The room was nicely remodeled with a very comfortable bed. The shower was great and heated up immediately. Staff were very friendly and checked-in every other day for housekeeping. Check-in and check-out was very smooth/quick. Great location by the beach and easy to walk to places.

Non-disclosed parking fee. Was not initially given the room I reserved. Had to go back to the front desk to get it straightened out. Desk staff was clearly miffed that I insisted on the room I reserved. Absolutely horrendously uncomfortable, hard bed. Even though the room was very clean, I expected much better overall experience. Cannot recommend.

Had a wonderful time staying at the Shoal. We would get our morning coffee and walk 5 minutes to the beach.. we also walked or took the bus all over the San Diego area from the hotel. This is a wonderful gem.

Good value despite distance from an event we attended… lots of good restaurants within walking distance. Property rooms have been well re-conditioned. Only drawbacks: need more hooks/olaces to hang drying towels rtc. And AC unot “gurgled.” Staff very friendly and helpful.
