Quiet, clean and comfortable

This Inn in La Jolla was quiet, comfortable and clean. Close to all the restaurants and shops in town.My only ask would be guests should receive a couple of bottles of water as they check in. The hotel sells them for 2.50 a piece. I would recommend this hotel and will return.
Hotel is very close to the water.

Best hotel in town at a great price.

We always love staying here when we visit La Jolla. It's centrally located downtown close to shops and restaurants. The rooms are always clean and comfortable with plenty of space. The rooms have a refrigerator , but no microwave. The people that work here are the best! Always so friendly and helpful! We will always stay here!
