Top Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego Hotel Reviews

The Shoal La Jolla Beach

8/10 Good

"The staff was nice and the room clean. It's a 5-minute walk to the beach! The pool was very small so we didn't go in. The bed was on the soft side. It's a long walk to the village, but a good location if you just want to spend time at the beach. The room was okay. It has a motel-like feel to it but it was fairly spacious."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites La Jolla – Windansea Beach by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This is our absolute favorite place to stay when we are in San Diego or the La Jolla area. You cannot be the location only two blocks from the greatest beach in San Diego restaurants amazing coffee nearby and the staff and the general manager Rollie is absolutely amazing."

Hotel La Jolla, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly and helpful staff!"

Cormorant Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was close to all restaurants shops and water"

Orli La Jolla

10/10 Excellent

"Great place. Really lovely people and perfect location!"

Scripps Inn La Jolla Cove

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel with breathtaking views of the ocean. It is literally mere steps from the beach. Our friends got married at The Wedding Bowl across the street and it was beautiful and super convenient. The hotel was beautiful, clean, and spacious. The only complaint is limited parking. But it's to be expected at a beach front hotel."

Empress Hotel of La Jolla

8/10 Good

"I liked the underground secured parking. It is close to a lot of restaurants and the ocean. We visited during hot weather, adding a ceiling fan to our room would be big in staying cool."

Redwood Hollow Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Over the years our family of 4 has stayed at almost all of the cottages at Redwood Hollow. Each one is a unique gem. We look forward to coming back again."
