The Inn's location was perfect. It's right along the coast with wonderful views of the ocean. Our room was clean with decent bed and toiletries. The breakfast was very adequate with a selection of fruits, breads and proteins. The availability of coffee, teas, sodas, waters was great and very convenient.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Pros: Ocean front/beach view so location is phenomenal. Walkable to all La Jolla has to offer. property upgraded a few things e.g., shower, LED bathroom mirror, kitchenette and single zone AC units per room - mostly clean. Cons: Dismissive, disengaged and almost rude front desk staff as if I should know where/what/how about the property/amenities when asking basic FAQs when checking in/any other time. Parking spots are challenging if you drive anything above a compact. Included breakfast is exact same set up as Best Westerns in a better/scenic setting, barely a con tbh. Older propert or “charming” in realtor speak, Rooms have hard to access outlets, also barely a con. Biggest con - bathroom was super small, just enough counter space for a toothbrush & toothpaste - how small? I could take a shower, flush the toilet and reach the light switch on the opposite wall without getting out of the shower.

Ocean view was amazing and staff was great. They share the balconies so it’s weird to have your window open with strangers standing there. The room was also below the top viewing deck so you hear chairs being pulled across the ceiling space and drinks being dropped. Breakfast was really good and room super clean.

disappointed

We chose to stay at Pantai Inn with the family, but it turned out to be a very disappointing experience. From the moment we checked in, the lady in front was very unfriendly and unprofessional. We purchased the room at $400/night, and we chose the partial ocean view. The view from the small room was blocked by a van. I'll attach a picture to this review.

A Pleasant Stay

Overall our stay was amazing! Our room and rest of the inn are kept very clean. We had a spectacular ocean view from our room and balcony. This place is beautifully decorated and well maintained. Their breakfast buffet is delicious. The staff is very courteous and helpful. Shops and restaurants are walking distance from the Inn. Our room could use a little maintenance, it had a humid smell.
