I loved the Jacuzzi and the pool and the easy access to the beach. Not so crazy about the $15 to park. It was very cool that they gave us beach supplies for free.

I felt like this was like an upscale motel 6. The pool was nice and well kept, the free coffee was great, the room was updated and renovated and the beds were comfy, tv had plenty channels for all to enjoy. I would just say there are a lot of homeless and junkies in this area on the streets. The location so close to wind n sea was great, but I really felt it was overpriced even with the deal I got. I guess because it was summer and because this is a tourist area by the beach. The staff was friendly. Limited parking, but fairly priced parking compared to other hotels in the area.

Will definitely stay again!
We had a great time at The Shoal La Jolla Beach. the room was great and had everything you could possibly need. Yhe staff was so amazing and friendly. We were actually messaged that we were "the customer of the day", which gave us early check in, free bike rental for an hour & late check out, such a nice touch. The location was great walkable to the beach & many resturaunts.

The room we had was a King single. There was room for one chair that was squeezed in next to the a/c unit, so you froze if you sat there. There were no other chairs available so the long counter under the television was useless except for stacking items on. It was not functional to use as a desk. The area for hanging clothes was too small to handle a large suitcase, so it had to sit out in the room and take up what limited space there was. Room was just too cramped for two people.

We liked the location as it was quieter being away from La Jolla and Pacific Beach. It's a motel and even though they've updated interior it's already showing wear. The staff were great!

The property is has limited parking and the walls are thin. We could hear everyone's conversations as they walked down the hallway and the foot steps above us. The staff were friendly. Be aware your room is only cleaned every other day.
