This is the first time we stayed at The Shoal in LaJolla. It's a nice little quaint out of the way place, with a pool and hot tub that can be used in the evening. It's very close to restaurants, shopping and the beach. We really enjoyed our stay.

Cute little hotel, with an awesome location. Needs a little bit of upkeep inside the rooms as they are starting to look a little worn… Love that they let you use chairs and towels for the nearby beach. Staff was friendly and helpful with making recommendations for restaurants, pool needs cleaning… And overall a great stay
