This small waterfront inn is separated from the beach by a (busy) road, offering views of the ocean. It's important to point out its location as it seems the other hotels in La Jolla may have misleading names leading one to think they are on the beach (sea, oceanside, etc.) but they are not. You can walk across the street... More

You could not ask for a better location than Scripps Inn if you are looking for a waterfront stay. The inn is located right across from the water and running/hiking path. The sunset view is to die for here. I could tell this was the case since I noticed many other cars pulling up to check out the sunset from... More

This place was a perfect get away place for my husband and me. As others reviewers have said it is not for those who want sleek and modern in the middle of busy restaurants and bars of La Jolla. Instead it offers a very comfortable accommodation in an amazing location just across a small two lane road from the ocean.... More

I recently stayed at the beautiful Scripps Inn while my son was recuperating from an unexpected surgery while he was working in San Diego. The staff including Elaine, David and L.T. did everything they could to accommodate us. They gave us a bigger room so we would both be more comfortable and were both professionally and personally willing to help... More

This was only our second stay at the Scripps Inn, the last visit being nearly ten years ago and only lasting two days.. Both my wife and I wondered how this visit would stack up against our very positive impressions of our previous visit, especially since we would be staying a week this time. We were extremely pleased, but not... More

We always enjoy our stay at the lovely Scripps Inn. Elaine and the staff are so accommodating. The morning pastries are yummy, and the rooms are very clean. The Inn is perfectly located with amazing sea views and a short walk to the center of town.

The Inn was a good value for the money and in an excellent location. The hotel staff was nice enough to leave our key for us as we got there late and the rooms were quite nice. The breakfast was very simple. The only complaint we had was our neighbors who smoked outside our doors but that's not the fault... More

If what you expect is a seaside B&B with no perks, this is the place. The rooms were clean. Slight improvements would definitely improve the experience. Thoughts include higher quality sheets, softer pillows, larger towels, a rug on the floor and minor decorative improvements. Location is great and a few tweaks are all it needs. If you are an early... More

This was our second visit to this inn. Location cannot be better. Easy access to the ocean walk and running paths. Very nice deck to enjoy breakfast on,read, or watch the sunset. This is a very well maintained period lodging,very reminiscent of "Same Time Next Year" era.

We just returned from a four night stay at this inn. It was right on the beach and close to restaurants and shops. We shared a room with our two teenage boys. The staff was patient with our wet suits and snorkelling gear and they were eager to help with information on local sites. A really lovely place to stay!
