Top La Jolla Shores Hotel Reviews

The Dana on Mission Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Microwave oven and small refrigerator are convenient."

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"We stayed for the PIFA event across the street, so it was very convenient. Check in went smooth and Roberto was very helpful in getting our room very close by other family members. One of the staff members gave us a ride to the event, which was a blessing since we walked with our uncle who was elderly and barely could walk. I wish I remembered her name because she was very kind, patient, and a sweetheart. The only negative is, I wished there was a microwave in our room, which made it difficult to warm up food. Lucky our other family members stayed in a suite so we used there's. Other than that, it's a beautiful place to stay."
