    The location is all it has going for it. It's walkable to cafes, gyms, and multiple beaches. The room itself works just fine. Rude and dismissive customer service, made me cry. Loud crashing and screeching construction noises wake you up early in the morning and continue throughout the day. The room listing says "streaming services (like Netflix) available" and the TV quite literally doesn't let you select anything except live TV. I wish I had paid more for one of the nearby hotels because staying here was a humiliation ritual. I was in town for a doctor's appointment that required downtime, peace, and recovery and this hotel was a nightmare.

    My stay was absolutely perfect despite the hotel being in the midst of construction. We stayed at this hotel since we were running the La Jolla half marathon. It is walking distance to Scripps Park which is perfect. It is nice, clean hotel with a great ocean view. It comes at a great price point for the area. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again granted the price doesn't go up exorbitantly after construction is done.

    The location of this hotel is great but way overpriced for the rooms, everything is dated and beat up. They said they are renovating rooms but it seems like they upped their prices to accommodate for the other rooms. Parking is an issue for sure here. No breakfast was offered for the price of the room not much is offered to you for your room. I would stay at this property again because of its location but only if the prices were better.

    Room was clean. Staff was great!! Parking could be dicey due to construction, I was lucky and arrived early with good parking, then I just walked everywhere, so was okay with parking. The hotel is a little older and going through renovations, but what I love so much is the location, you can’t beat it, you can walk to just about anywhere in LJ, and really get into the chill LaJolla vibe staying here! I’ve stayed in the Ocean view room and also the Partial Ocean view room, and I actually liked the partial ocean view room better because I could see not only a view of the ocean, but also the downtown lights at night, as well as the lights from the houses on the hill. Great place!!

    Inn by the Sea is an older hotel presently going through renovations. Although I was allowed to check in early, the room that I was assigned was not as expected. I had stayed at this property before and at that time, was given an oceanfront room on the backside of the hotel. This time, I was given a room on the street side, which only had a partial view and was loud on a Saturday night. The woman who checked me in on Thursday 3/26 at 2 pm was also very passive aggressive. All the other front desk staff was superb, especially the gentleman at checkout 3/29 at 7am. As mentioned, they are going through renovations-I heard loud hammering on weekdays, but nothing on the weekend. The room and hotel in general is very clean, with water stations on every level and in room refrigerators. Bathrooms are super small. Room size is pretty standard. The hotel boasts a really cute little pool with lots of lounges and chairs for relaxing. The location also really can't be beat as it is a short walk to coffee, lovely restaurants, and the cove.

    The balcony overlooking the ocean is huge and is a beautiful place to watch the sunset. Rooms were a little worn, but had all of the furniture that I like: a comfortable chair with a good light and a side table, lights and bedstands on each side of the bed, a small table with 2 straight back chairs and a refrigerator. There was no "in the room microwave". Currently, the Inn by the Sea La Jolla is being renovated & I am sure the "worn" issue will not be an issue in the near future.

    Hotel was far shabbier than I expected based on reviews, pictures, presentation on Expedia. My room had not been cleaned - there were big chunks of some sort of food under a table. There is massive major transformative construction going on that makes it impossible to think straight starting at 8:15 each day. Also, somewhat damningly, Expedia told me that the hotel had an airport shuttle. When I emailed to ask, the hotel said no. You can't tell me that they don't know Expedia is saying this... and it should be corrected if it's not true.

    Probably will not stay again until renovations are complete. The room was below average; fortunately, we were there only 1 night. We will be traveling to La Jolla a lot in the future to visit family. Inn by the Sea needs to be a better hotel, not just a room.

    Very clean room comfortable bed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a primo location with restaurants, cafés shops, and of course the ocean just steps away. My only reason for a four star instead of five was that there were some renovations going on during our stay — we were grateful that we were located in a room away from most of the noise. If a traveler was just planning to be in the room in the evening after 5 PM, I would say the noise is not a factor at all.

    It is undergoing construction right now, but our room was still comfortable and clean. We did not have any construction noise because we were there on a weekend and the construction did not impede the view or the lobby. I am sure that after the renovation, the rooms are going to be beautiful. The rooms are also very large, so they are easy to move around in, even with lots of luggage or more than a couple people.

    No ocean view from balcony. Housekeeping advertised to be every other day. I asked for all days and was told yes. But still no housekeeping on the 2d day. Rooms were nice and beds very comfortable. No ice on our floor (3d), and microwave was a hike to the other end of the hotel. Lobby coffee meh, and lukewarm. Limited parking in front, otherwise in back alley; seems wrong to charge $20/night for that. Staff was friendly.

    Awesome. It’s a great layout for the building and rooms, cozy, well adorned, and a great price for the prime location in the heart of the shopping zone in La Jolla. Limited ocean views but it’s the best spot for walking to the ocean or to a restaurant. 2 minutes from my favorite Robert Walkers pancake house.

    Everything was fine up until we ordered delivery breakfast from The Cottage. We ordered coffees from the menu thinking that they'd come from The Cottage, but it was just the hotel's coffee. So we paid for something that is otherwise complimentary, plus a service fee, PLUS a delivery fee. And it wasn't good coffee, hence why we wanted to try coffee from The Cottage instead. We felt misled, so in the future hopefully the menu is more transparent about where each item is coming from, if it's not all coming from The Cottage.

    No, the ocean was not visible from the room as I requested my view from the room was another building; to see the ocean I had to step out on a balcony and look out to the right and see it over some other buildings at a distance. This was misleading and disappointing. Now that you mention it, I should be asking for a refund. As far as the room it was clean, and the staff was professional and nice. I also didn't like the fact that they charge to self-park, when you pay these prices and drive several hours to stay at a hotel for medical reasons, you should get complimentary parking.

    It was lovely. We enjoyed the location, the view, the staff. Our only complaint would be the sand and dirt on the balcony. But that’s minor. Thank you for a nice stay.

    The location is good with lots to do in walking distance. Unfortunately parking the night we arrived was really challenging , no parking on site available and had to drive around for quite a while to locate street parking. It got better after the first night, and hotel staff acknowledged the challenge, which was especially challenging due to some unexpected accessibility needs during our trip. Once parking became available on site it is very tight. In general the hotel and room were clean and met our needs. It is a bit dated and pool area is not big, but I think the value is good price wise for the area.

    At check-in, the girl wasn't very friendly at all. She seemed very bothered. The older blonde lady was nice. The towels in the room are very rough and small. They definitely need new fluffier and larger towels. The walls are paper thin. We could hear EVERYRHING going on in the other room. I did appreciate the coffee station. Location was convenient to all nearby activities. I think next time I'll try somewhere different.

    Absolutely the best deal in the Village ( Downtown La Jolla is called the village) comfortable beds, close to PB/LJ. Traffic going in and out of La Jolla is perfect. Internet is great. Dining options perfect surrounding the hotel. Friendly staff. Parking below as overflow parking. A straight up great place to make your home base in SD.

    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.

    No, no no no no no… I would not stay here again… Our room was so bland, there was nothing special at all about our room or the hotel… The pillows were old, the comforters were old, the towels were so old that they hurt you when you were drying off… There was only one place to charge electronics in the room. If someone flush the toilet in a floor above you, your warm shower turned cold. Doors or slamming all night long and would wake us up. I cannot say that this is the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had… But it was certainly the worst hotel I’ve had in a “resort environment “… and was certainly the worst hotel experience I’ve had in the last decade. And I am a 2,000,000 mile flyer, so I have some experience with hotels, etc.Just not good.

    Lady in the front desk told us we can’t get a room upgrade because we have to be premium members not just VIP on Expedia, room was supposed to be partial view of the ocean but we did not get to see any ocean at all, we were placed at the side in front of the hotel, the only view we got was the pool. Expected too much from this hotel, probably not coming back

    Amazing location. Getting an even number room on top floor is awesome to have ocean view Rooms are a little tired. Plumbing is loud and noisy kids next door could be heard loudly. Staff kind. Parking easy. I have gone back couple times because it’s clean and comfortable and I love the location. But it’s not luxurious or beautiful.

    We had a really great stay at the Inn at the sea in La Jolla. The location was amazing and we could walk to the beach, the children’s pool, shops, restaurants, even a grocery store. Nearby there was a beautiful coastal hiking trail, and it was an easy drive to San Diego for other adventures. The hotel was very close to the museum of contemporary art.

Pool looks like new. Great complimentary coffee.Great friendly staff. A shout out to Stephanie who helped return a lost cloth item my wife left behind.Plenty of parking at $20 a day. We would definitely stay again.

    If coming to inn by the sea. I would recommend a small vehicle for parking. We had with us a Newer F150 and had trouble finding parking even after paying the 20.00 a night for parking. It's not guaranteed unless you have a compact or a small vehicle that can fit in the parking garage
