The hotel is praised for its fantastic location across from the Pacific Ocean, with many guests enjoying the beautiful views and easy access to the beach. The staff is frequently described as friendly and accommodating. However, some guests have issues with the limited front desk hours and the lack of modern conveniences in the rooms. Additionally, a few guests have experienced noise disturbances and cleanliness issues.

    Great location. Quiet, next door to beautiful Museum of Contemporary Art which has a lovely outdoor cafe and indoor/outdoor seated restaurant. Right on the ocean. We walked everywhere. There are some stairs to some rooms but we re in our 70’s and managed.

    Can’t wait to return! Scripps Inn is directly across from the ocean. The rooms are charming. Recommend: Ask for ocean view if available. There is no breakfast but the museum has an excellent breakfast and lunch. Easy walk to museum and the center LJ COVE.

    The parking was extremely convenient and safe. It was located right by our room and the front lobby. All of the staff were very kind and friendly. The location was just across the street from the beach. We enjoyed walking along the walkway above the beach with great views of the sea lions and many different kinds of sea birds!

    Hmm, this is a hard review. This is the only oceanside inn in La Jolla. It is charming and ideally situated, and for sure we would stay there again, but we didn't get a good night's sleep in three nights as we could hear every creek in the room above us, and the shared space was right outside our room, and the other guests weren't considerate. 5 stars for the room and the location, but ask for the 3rd, top, floor!

    Check in was fast and easy. I called ahead for an early check in and they were able to accommodate and upgraded our room in doing so. The location was better than expected, we didn’t have to step outside to view the sunset. We enjoyed the view right from the living room. It was a short walk for breakfast at the museum cafe and lunch or dinner on Prospect St. We loved the beach towels available for guests and the cute sundeck where others gathered. The room was so convenient with stove, toaster, and the kitchen sink!! It was a delightful stay - we are definitely coming back.

    Hotel is in a great location. Parking was easy. Rooms are spacious and clean. Two things that stood out were the lack of outlets. Not one by the bed which was kind of inconvenient. And the mattress was really uncomfortable. The bedding also didn’t fit the bed so it shifted all night, exposing the mattress which isn’t ideal.

    We had an amazing stay at this charming, small hotel in La Jolla. The location is unbeatable—right across from the ocean with beautiful views, and just minutes from the Cove and everything San Diego has to offer. The property feels cozy and homely, almost like a studio apartment, and the room was spotless. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the after-hours check-in was seamless. We loved everything about this place and will definitely be coming back.

    The beach was right across the street, and the room was nicely furnished and generally quiet except for the noise from people above us. The towels were not changed once during our 4-day stay -- we later assumed we were perhaps required to request this, though we do not recall seeing anything in the room stating this as a policy. We were asked to pay a charge for the parking even though it was not listed as an extra charge on the hotels.com website. The front desk manager waived the parking charge because of the confusing information.

    We were placed in room #4. Ok room, clean and spacious for a couple. Well-decorated. Almost no ocean view, but this was advertised as "courtyard view" so we weren't expecting anything great. There were no outlets by the bed. Only outlets were in the bathroom and the dining area. Pull out bed was old and completely worn out, needs to be replaced. This means anyone aside from those sleeping in the king bed are not going to be comfortable. Property has several parking spots but parking is not free; do you really need to charge customers an extra $22/day?

    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.

    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.

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!

    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.

    I loved my stay at Scripps Inn, could not have asked for a better location! Being directly across from the ocean was amazing! It felt like this was a little south of where a lot of the tourist congestion was but still easy walking distance to plenty of restaurants, which was perfect. My hotel room was comfortable, especially thanks to the AC unit. The only thing I would note is that, at least from my first floor room, the noise from street traffic was noticeable. As was people walking through talking or working in the parking lot area. Didn't bother me much but could be an issue for some people.

My only (minor), complaint is that the electrical outlets are so worn that plugs for phones, etc., nearly fall out. Until they get replaced, a power strip plugged into one of the less-worn outlets is pretty helpful.

Rooms not as "trendy" or "modern" in terms of style or decoras some boutique hotels, however, I prefer this type of accommodation where you park right by the room and are in and out easily. no dealing with valet. Front desk was friendly. Room was clean. No issues, would stay again.

    We got to the hotel late, and I had received clear check in instructions from the hotel so that was good. However when we hot to the room, it smelled muggy and moldy. It was a hot August night and there is no AC at the property. I found 3 fans and I turned them on and kept the door open to air out the room. Yet the smell won’t go away and the temperature won’t go down. The thermostat was reading 82 all night which made a horrible sleep. I had a conference early the next day and I was bot well rested. The hotel’s location is beautiful, I just wish the room was cleaner and well aired !

    A breathe of fresh air. As soon as I arrived and stepped out of my car, my stress melted away. The view is stunning. It’s walkable so I didn’t get back into my car until it was time to depart. I would have stayed more than two nights if I had booked my reservation ahead of time. If you are looking for a quaint, charming place to stay, this may be the place for you. Easy check in, friendly, helpful staff too.

    Absolutely wonderful stay and we'll definitely stay again. The Scripps Inn is a true gem with a FABULOUS location with AMAZING views. quaint boutique little hotel with plenty of on site parking at $18 daily. Lisa at the front desk/office could not have ben more helpful, friendly and accommodating. There is no daily housekeeping, which was no problem for us whatsoever. If you would like more coffee, change of towels, wine glasses to borrow, whatever you need, just go to the front desk and Lisa will take great care of you with a smile. There also is no AC, but the ocean breezes and large floor fan keep the air moving and the room at very comfortable temperatures. There are MANY restaurants and shops within walking distance, and Seal Beach is a beautiful sanctuary to see lots of wildlife I never tire of watching. Really can't say enough good and praise our stay enough. it was Perfect for what we were looking for. This is NOT the Four Seasons or Taj Majal, but your not paying this prices either. We will definitely be back ! Thank you for a great stay and great service.
