“La Jolla Shores' beachfront tradition”

La Jolla Shores Hotel is a beachfront La Jolla resort — the unbeatable beach with chair and umbrella setups, a private beach and plant-filled courtyard where kids happily played, daily-cleaned comfortable rooms, a restaurant that's good though dear, a small pool and tiny hot tub, and absolutely-amazing accommodating staff; a yearly family tradition that never disappoints. The complaints: check your bill — the resort fee was charged again despite being in the room rate; a severe pan called it the worst hotel — a floor-standing ancient AC roaring, no slippers or toothbrush (slow skimpy delivery), a crowded messy beach; high parking with no alternative; and few dining choices nearby.
