Spent another weekend at this hotel. The pool was open and the stay was perfect. Staff is helpful and friendly, parking is available especially in the back of the hotel. The hotel is walking distance to the beach and a ton of local restaurants. Check out the Taco stand and Classic burger.

Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for something affordable and clean in a great location! Everything was within walking distance, front desk staff were friendly, and rooms were clean! We booked the Double Room Upper Floors and it was overlooking the pool area. There was an issue with the drain in the bathtub but we notified the front desk and it was taken care of right away. Coffee/Tea provided in the lobby. Overall a really great stay!

We booked a small block of rooms here for our wedding on 9/29/23 and it was perfect. Anne Marie & Cassandra were amazing to work with, kept us updated on our group block and then even booked my husband & I in the sand dollar suite at a discounted rate. The room was HUGE which was perfect for our groomsmen to get ready in. The decor is modern, the bed is comfortable, had a decent size outdoor space, and great amenities. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and attentive. I feel like its hard to find good customer service nowadays but everyone here was awesome. Highly recommend staying if you're in La Jolla.

I reserved a room block this October for my wedding and highly recommend Inn by the Sea to all brides!Anne Marie, the sales manager, was wonderful to work with and I can easily say the room block process was my most painless part of wedding planning. Communication with Anna Marie throughout our 8 month reservation process was excellent, timely, and detailed. Aside from being very good at her job, Anne Marie is just a very sweet person and always left me feeling at ease.Most of our wedding guests traveled from out of town so we had 46 rooms reserved in our block. They loved the area and they had no shortage of activities to keep themselves busy all weekend. Aside from a few small things, leaky toilet and a loud AC in two guest rooms, our guest had an amazing stay. You have to pay for parking but the free is small and definitely worth it considering the other parking options in La Jolla. There’s isn’t a bar or restaurant connected and the lobby is somewhat small, but there are many bars an restaurants within walking distance so I didn’t feel affected by these things.Our groomsmen got ready in one of the larger handicap rooms on the second floor and loved it. They had plenty of room to hang and watch football as well as relax on the large balcony.The bridesmaids and I got ready in the Sand Dollar Suite (see photos,) which is also where the groom and I stayed the whole weekend.The space is very large and bright and we easily fit our 7 bridesmaids, bride, 2 moms, and 3 makeup artists. There is also a sizeable patio connected with retractable awnings for coverage.I can’t say enough good things about this place!

The hotel is noisy, you will hear every step of your neighbor , every flush of the toilet and even every conversation because with connecting rooms.We had the bad experience that the next door neighbor smoked weed inside his room and the smell was unbearable, of course they told security that it had been on the balcony and the receptionist named Miguel basically didn't care, in fact he commented That since it had been on the balcony it wasn't a big deal (even though it was supposedly a 100% smoke-free hotel) and they didn't even offer us a room change, they just limited themselves to belittling the report and acting like nothing had happened.The experience was not pleasant, the hotel is clean but old, they didn't clean everyday.First and last time we visited.

Great location and nice place. I really am sad because I left my work phone in the room upon check out and the hotel said they do not have it. I know for sure it was in there and I’m really sad and would just please want it back.

I recently took my daughter here to celebrate her 16th birthday, and we stayed at this hotel. From check in to check out 10 stars if I could. We had an ocean view, a balcony, top floor and the most comfortable beds. We slept 10 hours a night. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, water, perfect location. Plenty of parking in the back and customer service is top notch. We will be back.

This is their ocean view……The room stinks, it looks very cheap inside, worse than motel 6.Nothing’s being maintained, shower pressure was small. No everyday house keeping.

Inn by the Sea did not disappoint! My family of four stayed in the Sand Dollar suite. The suite is quite large and beautifully decorated. The private outdoor patio space was a delight. The staff is extremely polite and helpful. The hotel is within walking distance to many restaurants, shops, and several beaches. We took advantage of the pool every night, and enjoyed the complimentary coffee, tea, and hot chocolate in the lounge. My only critique is that the mattress in the main bedroom was a bit too hard for my preference. However, I find that with most hotels. ? I would highly recommend Inn by the Sea!

Stayed there two nights.Conveniently located. Rooms are pretty clean too and friendly people at the desk! Next door neighbors were super loud on our second day of stay. Had to call front desk around 1 am as we had hard time falling asleep. Not the Inn’s fault but shouldn’t have put them right next to us esp. when there were other rooms available. They were still up making noise until 2 AM.

We stayed here for a wedding and the location is amazing - walking distance to everything you need.There was some slight confusion during check in, but Juan did a great job resolving everything and ensuring we were satisfied. He truly went above and beyond!

This Hotel is “away” from the beach, yet still accessible to all of downtown La Jolla off of Prospect. Lobby is very welcoming, including easy central access to all rooms.Pool is heated and the lobby next to the pool is nice and relaxing, including access to condiments and free hot drinks; well stocked!Parking is easy and nice that you can see a lot from your room (not the happiest with the $20 a night fee).Upper floor rooms, you will have a fantastic view of the ocean around, including surrounding buildings (the higher up the better). Beds are VERY comfortable by the way.You are in walking distance from everything in La Jolla. Considering what the other Hotels charge, save some money and stay here…experience is pleasant overall.

Me and my girlfriends went to La Jolla for a ladies trip and we stayed at this hotel. They had good reviews so we thought we would try it out. The facade looks outdated but they renovated the inside and it looks nice. There is a small lobby as you enter and we were greeted by friendly staff. We arrived a few hours before check in time but we wanted to see if they would be able to accommodate early check in but the room would not be ready for another hour. We walked around the hotel and saw they had a guest lounge by their small pool with vending machines and free coffee, tea and hot chocolate! We sat for a while and had some coffee and decided to go for a walk around the neighborhood. Lots of shops, restaurants and they are so close to the cave store and the coast walking trail. So we decided to continue on the trail and spent the whole afternoon exploring around that area. Got back to the hotel and check in was a breeze.We had to pay extra for parking. Room was nice, clean and good size. Bathroom was clean but have cracks on tub. Hopefully they will renovate those next! Coffeemaker/ref in room. Loved they had a separate USB charger on the desk. They have water dispenser in our floor (not sure if that is in every floor) and ice machines in some floors. Beds were clean and comfortable. Bedsheets smelled clean and fresh! Nice hotel and staff and we enjoyed our stay. We will definitely book again in this hotel.
