We very much enjoyed our stay. Rooms are very nice, with new modern bathrooms. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Short walk to Windansea Beach, which is gorgeous. Pool and hot tub were fun. Parking no problem. If you want room service, just make sure to ask, as it is not automatic. We look forward to coming back again.

Meh on The Shoal

Noisy between the road and other guests--thin walls and floors. Inadequate parking--ended up having to find street parking if I came back after 9 pm. Staff were very kind and professional, and I appreciated being able to rent beach equipment/towels. Overall, it felt like a old converted apartment building, and not sure I'd stay there again.

Walk to Windansea Beach, however need to drive to get to PB, La Jolla Shores, ETC.. some stores nearby. Nice and easy to park there. The minifridge was so loud we unplugged it. Everynight asked the front desk to turn off the gas from the firepit, apparently it was leaking a bit, not a good sign. Lots of potential, but would not return.
