“The Shoal Hotel La Jolla Beach is a simple motel that underwent renovations and still retains a basic feel. However, its location, within walking distance of the beach and various restaurants, is a real advantage. Plus, the staff seems dedicated to creating memorable moments, as evidenced by unexpected perks.”
