Very nice and simple. Worked great for the night. The staff was super friendly and the bed was comfortable. It has a good location for both parts of La Jolla. It’s not luxury but it is nice.

I booked a “newly remodeled” room at The Shoal La Jolla Beach, but what I experienced was completely different from what was advertised. The room was right next to a busy street, with cars passing all night, making it impossible to rest. The air was stuffy, the AC didn’t work, and the room was dirty — even the area by the stairs outside was full of dust and filth. There were mosquitoes inside, and I got bitten during the night. The bathroom was filthy, with mold and dirt in the corners of the shower and brown stains on the door. The ice bucket lid was rusted, and even the AC vent was covered in dust. When I reached out to the hotel, they refused to change my room, claiming no availability — yet there were rooms available the next day. They even suggested fixing the AC at 10–11 p.m., which is unreasonable. This property is misleadingly advertised and unsanitary. I would never stay here again, and I strongly suggest Expedia review this listing for false advertising and health concerns.

We enjoyed our stay. It was perfect. Less than a 5 minute walk to windandsea beach. The pool was nice and quite more private than most hotel pools. We will definitely be staying again. Thank you

Noisy between the road and other guests--thin walls and floors. Inadequate parking--ended up having to find street parking if I came back after 9 pm. Staff were very kind and professional, and I appreciated being able to rent beach equipment/towels. Overall, it felt like a old converted apartment building, and not sure I'd stay there again.

We very much enjoyed our stay. Rooms are very nice, with new modern bathrooms. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Short walk to Windansea Beach, which is gorgeous. Pool and hot tub were fun. Parking no problem. If you want room service, just make sure to ask, as it is not automatic. We look forward to coming back again.

Walk to Windansea Beach, however need to drive to get to PB, La Jolla Shores, ETC.. some stores nearby. Nice and easy to park there. The minifridge was so loud we unplugged it. Everynight asked the front desk to turn off the gas from the firepit, apparently it was leaking a bit, not a good sign. Lots of potential, but would not return.

This is obviously an older hotel, but when we opened the door to our room we were pleasantly surprised. The room had been updated nicely and had a large brightly colored sofa that doesn’t fit typical boring hotel room tradition. I am here for it! The room was extremely clean, well stocked with towels, bedding, and basic coffee setup. For reference I am currently staying in a five star hotel and The Shoal La Jolla Beach, was cleaner. There was ample room for our things and for our bags to go without being in our way. The aircon worked wonderfully and kept us comfortable through the hot night, and the family enjoyed the pool. It too was well stocked, clean, and had our family enjoying our time there. All beds including the sofa were comfortable. The only thing I wish we’d been aware of is that the sofa is not a pullout type sofa bed. You remove the large cushions from the back and the sofa itself is the bed (twin bed size). There are sheets and blankets to put over the cushions before sleeping on it. It was large enough that two of the kids (12yo & 6yo) who wanted to be by each other fit at each end without issue. The location is fantastic to be nearby several different beaches and there was a convenience store within a short drive when we had an emergency tummy ache during the night. I had some Amazon packages delivered to the hotel the day prior to our arrival and they were waiting at the desk for us without issue.
