The Shores is a charming old style hotel right on the beach. We have stayed here before. Unfortunately, they were under construction, hence it was a little noisy and no use of the pool. They did provide a shuttle to a lovely hotel in downtown La Jolla. Staff is friendly. Restaurant is very good. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner. Morning coffee station had very good coffee. We would stay there again.

Love the location-can’t beat being right on the best beach in San Diego. We enjoyed the courtyard and fire pits every night. Only bummer was the pool and hot tub renovation, as that is a great amenity that we didn’t have this trip. But we’ll be back!

The staff are very helpful and nice! It is a wonderful location right on the beach! And you can walk to several places to eat if you don’t want to drive. Free shuttle is also helpful if you want to go further. It’s under renovation so can’t comment on the pool since it was closed during our stay but they did arrange for us to use a pool at a nearby hotel if we wanted to.

Stayed on the 3rd floor, room 337. The room felt slightly compact, and the balcony had a pillar that partially blocked the view, so it wasn’t very open. However, the staff were excellent—very friendly, polite, and helpful with great recommendations. There is EV charging available and the parking area feels safe and secure. Overall, it was a very good stay. During our visit, there was some exterior maintenance, so it could be a bit noisy in the morning, but it was still manageable.
