One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed. Beautiful, unique, very clean and quiet, 2 steps from the ocean. You can hear the waves while sleeping. Great bed and all the bathroom amenities are high quality. Me. At the reception was very welcoming and polite. Thank you!

Beautiful property and the stay was great. Only thing is the man in the front desk made a comment I didn’t appreciate. My 3 year old son was outside of the office and he was yelling out of excitement. He asked if he would be doing that the whole stay. It was around 3pm when we checked in. I don’t see why he felt the need to make that comment. I would visit again, but without my children because I didn’t feel they were 100% welcome. If you have children and plan to visit be sure they are trained to keep very quiet.

The location of the property is perfect. It’s very walkable to restaurants and shops and most importantly the beach is right across the street. The room was upgraded with nice amenities and very comfortable.

Scripps Inn April 2025 Stay

This place was ideal. Overlooking Wedding Point, this spot was close to the village and beach. You could hear the waves crash from our room. Room was well appointed and recently renovated. Great deck area with comfortable seating to enjoy the view. Will stay there again.

Everything was so easy! I arrived after the office had closed and had received a text with easy to follow instructions! The room was spacious and really nicely appointed with a beach theme/colors! The staff was incredibly kind, responsive be and helpful! You cannot beat the location as it is right across from a walking path along the gorgeous coastline in La Jolla! I would highly recommend this Inn!!!

Views! Sound! Convince!

The view was amazing. Loved the view! Loved being so close to the ocean. Loved the sound of the waves. Loved the location. Loved walking distance from so much. Loved morning coffee with a view. I can’t say enough about the location because I love the beach and walking. The room itself was not impressive.

Great two night stay at my favorite place in LaJolla. Only problem was our room keys were invalidated after one day and it took awhile to get help to get in the second night. Major disappointment. Otherwise the stay was exceptional

Nice place, but could use some updating

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?
