“Our room was clean, the check-in was smooth, the staff was friendly and we were walking distance to many restaurants and the beach. The parking was tight with very little spots but we were luckily able to get a parking spot every time. We will be staying here again in the future.”

“Can’t say enough about the service from both the staff and management. Everyone extremely helpful and accommodating from the moment we checked in. The servers at the pool recognized us from our stay last year a food and drink service was quick. We will definitely be staying at The Lodge At Torrey Pines again soon.”

“It's one of the best hotels in La jolla. It has breakfast included and the food is delicious. If you get hungry, go down to the lobby where you can find a small snack shop. Also, it is conveniently located within 5 min walk to the beach.”

“I had an absolutely amazing stay at the Grande Colonial easily a five-star experience from start to finish. The location is unbeatable, right next to the water with stunning views and everything you could possibly need within walking distance. Being able to step outside and instantly be in the heart of it all made the trip so much more enjoyable.

One of the standout perks was the fantastic valet service, especially with free overnight parking, which made everything seamless and stress-free. I also loved the complimentary bikes, they were perfect for cruising along the beach and taking in the scenery at a relaxed pace.

The hotel itself has such a welcoming and charming atmosphere. The pool area was ideal for unwinding, whether it was a quiet morning or a relaxing afternoon break. And the on-site, award-winning restaurant was incredible delicious food, great ambiance, and top-tier service without even having to leave the property.

What really made the stay exceptional, though, was the customer service. Every staff member I encountered was friendly, attentive, and genuinely committed to making the experience memorable.

Between the unbeatable location, thoughtful amenities, and outstanding service, this hotel truly has it all. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect coastal getaway.”

“The first floor rooms are terrible because the ceiling to floor windows open out onto the parking lot. One has to keep the black out curtains drawn for privacy so the rooms have no natural light.”

“The perfect location, 2 min walk to the beach. Great costumer service. Very clean room. There’s no elevator but they’ll help you to carry your luggage. It’s only 2 levels hotel. I really enjoyed my stay.”

“Nice place for stay, clean, no smoking room, swimming pool, parking space and close to the beach. Only noise from the car, cause so close to the street. Overall very good place.”

“Scripps Inn is in La Jolla / San Diego and right across the street from the beach. The building is a little older but our room was very nice with a comfortable bed, nice kitchen, dining room & living room. The inn offer plenty of parking with combined front and back parking. And if you know anything about La Jolla in the summer, you're lucky to get a good parking spot. The one small complaing I have is that there are trees obstructing the best views of the ocean. The rooms are dog friendly too. Lots of sights to see up and down the coast that I will show in some of the photos.”

“Nice and clean place, friendly staff. Has fridge and microwave. The staff tried to get me a non pet room once she found out I don't have a dog with me. The only thing I don't like is the room is not soundproofed.”

“While I had a good experience, liked the location, and think the staff were in general super helpful and responsive, it felt like there could be more events or amenities, and the food could have been better for the price. At night I felt like there’s nothing to do other than walking around or getting drinks. Also we were lucky that our neighbors were quiet - I do feel like it was extra not sound proof and you can hear everything in the hallway. And the water from the water station tasted pretty bad to me - might be that I’m used to better water quality in the east coast”

“From Rudy at the front gate to Adrian checking us in the first night and Amanda & Tony helping accommodating us for our unexpected stay everyone was helpful, amazing, and would highly recommend staying here. We had a beach house that wasn't ready for our arrival on a Saturday, found an online booking available that night after driving 6 hours and then they were able to help us per day until we were able to get access to our beach house. They were all so helpful and a pleasure. Appreciate Amanda, Adrian, Tony and Rudy. We will be staying here in the future and planning to stay here vs beach house next time.

2026 Update: almost stayed again but our beach house ? was perfect ?- however Dylan in reservations was awesome ? grace too and understood recent cancellation prior to stay so fees weren’t incurred”

“We got lucky on an almost 50% discounted price - this hotel would normally be way out of our price range. We skipped the $42 overnight parking and parked on an adjacent street. The hotel advertised ocean views, but there were none from the third floor - however what we did get from the third floor is incredible views of hummingbirds in the trees; loved it. I’ve seen other reviews about the elevators; as of our stay July 2025, only one of the two elevators was working and it was very slow. We were able to take the stairs, but if your party has any mobility issues or if you’re on a higher floor, this could be a big problem. We lucked into a corner room with two balconies; could not have been happier to enjoy the ocean breeze. Loved the room: soft mattress, lighting, and shower. Just a heads up that the street noise was substantial; I would recommend bringing earplugs if you want to sleep in. Not sure what was up on the street, but it sounded like construction and/or sanitation trucks off and on from about 6:30am until we checked out around 9am (the sliding glass balcony doors were closed). Loved that we could walk down to the beach and restaurants.”
