Inn by the Sea, La Jolla

An absolute standout of a hotel! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond, remaining warm and accommodating throughout our entire stay. Our ground-floor room with a balcony overlooking the pool was top-tier—immaculate, surprisingly spacious, and fully loaded with all the bathroom amenities, coffee, a microwave, a fridge and a massive smart TV unlike anything I’ve ever seen in a hotel room. The pool area looked gorgeous and impeccably clean, even though we didn't get a chance to take a dip. Right by it is a handy snack lounge equipped with vending machines, complimentary coffee and hot chocolate, and a big screen for casual viewing. Self-parking is a breeze with plenty of spaces up front, in the back, and even some covered spots in the basement for $20 a night. As for the location, it completely blew my expectations out of the water—just a pleasant 10-minute walk to La Jolla Cove surrounded by great restaurants, with a supermarket a mere two-and-a-half blocks away, cementing just how central and convenient it is. Freshly remodeled, exceptionally cozy, and I will definitely be booking my return trip here very soon!

Parking spaces maybe a little bit wider.

Great location and comfortable beds.

Our room faced the back alley and could hear outside noise like garbage trucks.

Lovely Inn with easy walking distance to the coast, restaurants and shopping. Our room was newly renovated on the 2nd floor (upgraded from 1st floor). Our room with a balcony, was very nice, with the biggest TV I have ever seen in a hotel. There were a few items that were missing or hadn’t been completed such as lights/plugs alongside the bed — there was a letter to the guests in the room explaining missing items. The lobby area was very nice and comfortable with coffee/tea served in the morning. I would stay here agin.

One night we were kept awake in the middle of the night by a large group of people returning to the hotel who were loudly talking outside. Room issues were there wasn’t an exhaust fan in the room with the shower, light switches are placed in awkward places. Missing lights and plugs near the bed (I realize the room wasn’t 100% complete)
