Will definitely stay again!
We had a great time at The Shoal La Jolla Beach. the room was great and had everything you could possibly need. Yhe staff was so amazing and friendly. We were actually messaged that we were "the customer of the day", which gave us early check in, free bike rental for an hour & late check out, such a nice touch. The location was great walkable to the beach & many resturaunts.

The room we had was a King single. There was room for one chair that was squeezed in next to the a/c unit, so you froze if you sat there. There were no other chairs available so the long counter under the television was useless except for stacking items on. It was not functional to use as a desk. The area for hanging clothes was too small to handle a large suitcase, so it had to sit out in the room and take up what limited space there was. Room was just too cramped for two people.

Alfred was great. The fact that the room had no water pressure and no table, was not great. Either have to eat in bed or on floor

We liked the location as it was quieter being away from La Jolla and Pacific Beach. It's a motel and even though they've updated interior it's already showing wear. The staff were great!

The property is has limited parking and the walls are thin. We could hear everyone's conversations as they walked down the hallway and the foot steps above us. The staff were friendly. Be aware your room is only cleaned every other day.

Room was very big which was a nice surprise.
It’s a motel, has a small pool, a couple of bikes available for rent.
We had no issues.
