Enjoyable stay at Shoal LaJolla Beach.
Pros:

We had a very nice stay at the Shoal Hotel LaJolla Beach. Room is large and was very clean. Location is very close to the beach and public transportation. Also restaurants and grocery store is very close. We enjoyed the hot tub at the end of the day to relax. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Cons:

There was nothing to not like as we had an enjoyable stay.

Outstanding Stay!
Pros:

Clean room, comfortable bed, and close to the beach. Convenience store is within easy walking distance. The front desk staff was outstanding - they were so nice and welcoming throughout our stay!!

Cons:

It would have been nice to have a smart TV to be able to log into movie apps, but there is cable and plenty to watch.
