Our favorite Inn in the best location in La Jolla. They have ground floor renovations going on that’s affecting some of the parking, but we didn’t end up having any issues. The staff is the absolute BEST! Walking distance to all things La Jolla.

The room was a little dated, but the bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The best part of the Inn was the location. Everything you want to do in La Jolla is an easy walk from the hotel. I would definitely stay here again.

This hotel is well located and the staff are helpful and very friendly. The property was undergoing renovations and our room was not updated yet.
