La Jolla Shores Hotel

La Jolla Shores Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at the La Jolla Shores Hotel for the second week of our California vacation after a week at Disneyland. It was a much needed retreat after a busy week in the parks. The building and rooms are clearly aging and the bathroom could definitely use work but we chose this hotel for the beautiful location and easy beach access. Th restaurant was wonderful and we enjoy wonderful views and sunsets."

8/10 Good
"I stayed at the Country Inn and Suites a second time this past September weekend. Overall, the stay was comfortable, but there were several issues. The fitness center had no AC, which made it extra humid and unpleasant. Also, the pool was extra hot: 94 and 104 degrees. The technician came to cool it off but the wait took a while. Overall, the breakfast is still good and the room AC was comfortable, but maybe the vent for the bathroom wasn't working, so I had to manually air out to prevent mold in the bathroom after a shower."

"I choose this hotel because I was a Hilton’s honors member and wanted to use an American Express gift card to pay for part of my stay. I opted to pay in person online however when I arrived the system could not process my gift card. The front desk staff was exceptional and friendly. They tried their best to problem solve but in the end I could not use my gift card. It was a little disappointing. Other than that it was a great location and the hotel staff was friendly and professional."
