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!

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.

To our surprise, when we arrived, we were upgraded to a 2-bed room with kitchenette with all the amenities. Second floor with a straight view to the sunset. If in the area again, definitely will re-book.

Great little property right on the ocean. Staff are helpful and friendly. It’s starting to show its age, but I understand a major renovation is in the works for the fall.

Christina • Family Trip

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.

We came in late and left after a morning coffee. Perfect location, near the beach & close walk to downtown. Old school hotel with helpful staff and easy access to everything in downtown La Jolla
