Relaxing and convenient stay at a great price.

Centrally located. Easy to walk to shops, restaurants and the beach. Comfortable room and a heated pool. The coffee area by the pool was great for the mornings. The staff was excellent and helpful when called upon. The $20 parking fee per night was well worth it to me.

Ideal location

Booked this hotel for a work trip. Great location - easy to get to nearby areas, and to walk to restaurants for dinner. The hotel was also quiet which was really nice for a work trip. It was also very close to the ocean so only a few minutes walk to get to the cove with all of the cute seals and sea lions.

Very little for the price

For the price of the room they should be cleaner and updated and offer breakfast at least or parking.

Quiet, clean and comfortable

This Inn in La Jolla was quiet, comfortable and clean. Close to all the restaurants and shops in town.My only ask would be guests should receive a couple of bottles of water as they check in. The hotel sells them for 2.50 a piece. I would recommend this hotel and will return.
Hotel is very close to the water.
