I stayed at the La Jolla Inn for two nights, and the location couldn't have been better. Surrounded by shops, restaurants, and the beach, walking around the area was a breeze. But... First - no parking other than a two block walk away for $6 a day. Second, the room just wasn't clean. The sheets and bed were fine (thank... More

If you want to stay in the heart of La Jolla, walk to everything, and pay a very reasonable price, this is the place...yes, it's a little older...yes, the rooms are a little smaller, for my money you can't be at the price or the location. The staff was friendly,polite and helpful. I would caution that there is no elevator... More

The room next door had a party from 2-6am called the front dest but they are not available after midnight. For 22 rooms in LaJolla at 150-1400 a night you would at minimum expect 24hr service. On the good side...they had running water, electricity and no bed bugs.

Building seems 100 years old and never renovated except with some paint and furniture. Seems cobbled together from several seaside shanties pre-war (#1). Floors and walls thin and creaky. Not on beach. Sundeck requires climb of many, many stairs--too much for these old bones. Light out in closet on arrival. Stay was earlier than the March 2012 allowed in computer... More

This European style hotel won't be for everyone and the "ocean view" was very tricky to see between the buildings. But if you like to be able to just walk to the ocean cliffs, the cove and around the La Jolla village this is a great spot. Breakfast wasn't bad either. If you want a more US style hotel or... More

The king bed ended up being 2 twins pushed together. The balcony was 2 feet wide and inches from the neighboring balconies. The hotel was old and funky with staircases this way and that. Kind of felt a little European in that regard. The best feature about this hotel is its convienent location in downtown La Jolla and the rooftop... More

It is a pretty hotel a block's walk away from the ocean. The room was comfortable. The balcony is very nice to sit and view the ocean. We had a sea gull visit us there once or twice a day. We were there in Dec so it was a little chilly so were were not out there as much as... More

We spent four days in La Jolla before attending a business conference in San Diego. After spending time at the quaint but clean and comfortable La Jolla Inn, we were rather disappointed with our luxury suite at the Mission Bay Hyatt in San Diego! Comfortable bed, beautiful view of the Cove and Scripps Park, and a rooftop deck perfect for... More

I have stayed at this hotel half a dozen times in the last year. It's small and old fashioned, but the location is fantastic and the price is fair. Most of La Jolla is severely overpriced, but the La Jolla Inn is in the center of town with a short walk to the cove. Most of the rooms have a... More

This small b&b is centrally located and perfect for a budget conscious weekend in LaJolla. On a busy day it's a bit tricky to navigate to. There's a 10minute loading and unloading area and you get a parking card and the parking is two blocks away. We were in room 22, which has an ocean view. There's also a small... More
