Top Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego Hotel Reviews

La Jolla Shores Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay La Jolla Shores Hotel was wonderful! The property and room was very clean and well-maintained. The restaurant and bar was great too! The hotel is right on the beach and there are some restaurants and shops up the main road. It’s about a mile from La Jolla Village so your dining options will be more limited. My best advice is to stop at a grocery store before you get to the hotel and stock up on water, snacks, etc. I believe all the rooms have a kitchenette and a nice sized mini fridge so you will save some money not having to buy from the convenience store on the Main Street. Would definitely stay here again!"

Cormorant Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay and staff was fantastic!"

La Jolla Cove Suites

10/10 Excellent

"It was a good stay. We were in the best spot in town to enjoy the scenery and the establishments around the town. Honestly, the old rooms facing the sea offer the best and most practical accomodation. We will certainly be back. The only wish is that, hopefully the building they are currently constructing would not block the view from those old rooms, but if they do, let it offer better ones than what you already have."

Orli La Jolla

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful small boutique hotel in gorgeous La Jolla. Perfect place to stay. Walking distance to shops, restaurants and the beach!"

The Shoal La Jolla Beach

8/10 Good

"LaJolla is a good 1-2 day stay, this hotel is close enough to the beach and town, some local coffee shops and restaurants within walking"

Pantai Inn

8/10 Good

"Great location. Parking was so important and was great! Everything was clean and orderly and worked as expected. I liked the welcome water/soda and the afternoon cookies. I didn’t get to take advantage of breakfast or the rooftop but love that it’s offered. Good water pressure in the water."

Sheraton La Jolla Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean. I did not like that there really was no place to hang clothing in the in the bathroom and the hook for the bath towel was difficult to reach from the shower. The room decor was pleasant. However, there was a lot of traffic noise. The pool and garden area was lovely. The restaurant was very good, although I felt the breakfast prices were a little high. The staff there was great. I do not feel you should be charging $30 a day for parking. There were a lot of empty spaces in that lot. Convenient location to the La Jolla beaches. I like that you’re not located in a congested high-rise area. Your front desk staff was very friendly, and one woman knew a lot about the area however, several others were unfamiliar with local attractions, when questioned about directions on sites to see. I would stay at this site again."

Empress Hotel of La Jolla

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay it was a nice hotel very clean safe but we thought there was a pool and there wasn't."

Redwood Hollow Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"An artist’s retreat in the middle of town. Love!"
