La Jolla Shores Hotel is quite literally right on the beach; the Sheraton and the Residence Inn hotels are more convenient to the freeway but far from the beach. The Estancia is the closest (15 min. walk) but also the most expensive. It has a shuttle that can take you to campus locations. All above hotels are 5-10 minutes away from our building (Pacific Hall) by car. The Sheraton and the Residence Inn hotels are a 25-minute walk to Pacific Hall (1 mile). Some of these hotels give a "UCSD rate" but AAA or other discounts are usually as good or better. The above is provided for informational reasons only; no specific endorsements are intended.

Housing and Apartments for long-term visits:

Note due to fraudulent housing offers, it is advised that you DO NOT TRY TO FIND HOUSING IN THE SAN DIEGO/LA JOLLA AREA BASED ON AN INTERNET SEARCH. Prior visitors to our lab have tried to arrange their housing this way and they lost a few thousand dollars to a fraudulent housing advertisement. The scams usually ask you for a security deposit by credit card number or wire transfer, then once they have your money they disappear.

On-campus housing through UC San Diego's Housing, Dining, and Hospitality (HDH) group. These are several options that UC San Diego provides for faculty and student visitors, both during the summer (in the UC San Diego dormitories) or year-round.
