Top La Jolla Shores Hotel Reviews

Bay Club Hotel & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and friendly staff."

Best Western Seven Seas

8/10 Good

"King room was a good size. Coffee maker only. A/c filter needed cleaning but worked great after. The staff made it happen right away. No included bkfast. But there's a small diner on the grounds with an impressive menu. Lots of parking but it can fill up at night when people return. A little tricky turning in from the road so go slow and look both ways. It's a large hotel with several 2-story sections. A room in the rear-most section will reduce any road noise. I had a very pleasant stay and would stay there again."

Ocean Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The cleaning crew were exceptional in performing their duties. Front desk staff very helpful and informative. We enjoyed our stay. I tend to get cabin fever after 3 nights in hotel stay. I love the facts when stepping out of the room your outside and not have to go down long hallways to go outside. Thank you OB hotel"
