The hotel is in a GREAT location and the view from the common area looking over the ocean is gorgeous. The rooms themselves are clean but dated. Front desk has limited hours so if you need anything, you need to get to them early before they leave for the day. If you don't need modern conveniences, it is a very nice place to stay.

Fantastic location across from the Pacific Ocean. The owners/managers are friendly and accommodating. However they request check in after 4 pm, but lock up at 5pm. You then have to use the phone provided to be given a combination number to access a locked box containing the room key. A nuisance if you are tired after a long trip.

Amazing Beach Hideaway
This place is perfect for a quick romantic getaway. We’re local and wanted a night away from the kids for our anniversary. We will definitely stay here again the beach access and walking distance of everything is great. Definitely some noise but with the windows closed it’s quiet.

Charming Inn by the Sea
Charming inn with a beautiful view of the ocean. Large comfortable room, perfectly appointed for a beach stay. And with a novelty - a back door! Very friendly staff. Amenities included beach bikes and chairs if needed. Great balcony seating right outside our room for all guests to enjoy. Was lovely during the day and evening. Easily walkable to town for breakfast spots. Short drive to downtown and La Jolla Cove.

I have stayed in many different properties and had good experiences and bad experiences. Every once in a while, you hit a grand slam and this place was just that! It is located right on the coast with a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean and a very short walk to the cove. Shopping and dining options are a short distance as well. The staff was friendly, the rooms were spacious and clean, and we could not have been more satisfied!

Meh
Dirty carpets noisy rooms. Can hear neighboring guest snoring $18 per day for parking without notice of fee. Amazing location. Can hear the waves crashing at high tide. Spacious room. Pillows not great. Bathroom marble counter is beautiful but doesn’t match the rest of the room.

Lovely location, but needs an refresh
Location and service were wonderful! They are right across the street from the La Jolla beach with tide pools. It was perfect for our family trip with two young kiddos. Walking distance from the shops and restaurants in La Jolla as well. The rooms could use a little TLC. Some screens in the windows were coming off and the carpet gave out a musty smell and had many stains, definitely needs an upgrade to hardwood floors. Overall clean, but the carpet and smell has us suspecting mildew.
