Christina
Right across from the beach. We loved it! Beautiful views!
Jennifer
Great location, accommodations, and view ☺️ I also appreciated the stocked kitchen with mini fridge and microwave.
Erin
Staff was great and tried their best and location was great but cleaning was terrible pink & black mold in bathrooms on tub tiles and floors. Missing grout. Rusty hinges on doors and windows. Dirt in windows. Screen broken. Furniture in reasonable condition. Bed was hard as a rock! Hot water was out for a whole day and AC was broken the whole 3 night stay! Maintenance guy couldn’t fix it. AC guy couldn’t come for over a week! Sadly a bad experience
Stacy
Great location. Outlets in the bedrooms did not work.
Mary
So cozy and includes a kitchen with stover and microwave. The porch is perfect for drinking coffee and looking out at the ocean. Will definitely be returning!
Criselda
We enjoyed our stay at the Scripps Inn. Everyone was nice and helpful. We loved being so close to the beach. It was beautiful. They only problem is that it could be a bit noisy. Our room faced the ocean, which as amazing. We could hear the water at night, but we could also hear cars and delivery trucks late at night and early in the morning. For the location, view, cleanliness and customer service, we would stay here again.
Jennifer
Great location !!
Melissa
Scripps inn was a rare fine for us being strategically located across from the beach was a plus. The staff greeted us very warmly and professionally and upgraded our room upon our arrival. Our two bedroom suite felt like a little apartment. It was very cozy and nicely decorated with a beautiful view of the ocean outside the bedroom and living room windows are only regret that was that we stayed there only one night because that’s all we could afford but Scripps Inn made our 12th anniversary very memorable
Julie
Location is better than I could have dreamed!
Maureen
We had an absolutely amazing overnight. Stay at the Scripps Inn. I would highly recommend it and hope to get a chance to be there again someday!
Yelena
The property small, cute and quiet. Perfect ocean view from every suit. Perfect location away from hassle&bassle of very busy park, at the same time it’s less than 10 minutes walk. We stayed in 2 bedrooms suit, clean and very comfortable. And what is very convenient it has kitchenette. So coffee and breakfast at your fingertips. Definitely will stay there in a future.
Alexandra
All good
Barbara
Charming Small hotel across the street from the ocean. The staff was awesome!
We will return!
We will return!
baishali
The location was great. The property has plenty of parking spots. Having amenities such as coffee and microwave was a big plus. The communication regarding after hours check in should be clearer but other than that no issues.
Tiina
Loved our stay, hotel was nice overall. Air conditioning worked intermittently. Views of beach, breathtaking.
Denette
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.
Jane
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.
Bindi
Great location with amazing views. Minimal amenities, no lobby or food available, clean and spacious rooms.
Brandon
Great location right across from ocean. Hotel was small so it was quiet. Perfect for families. Would definitely stay again.
Marisa
We loved the location and view from the room. The room itself was older, but very clean and comfortable! Check in was super easy and staff was amazing.
Lisa
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!
Robert
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!
Jasmine
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.
James
Good location
Regina
Nice view, right next to the ocean
Javier
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.
daniel
Quaint, great location, big rooms!
Robin
Ideal location for a wedding at the Cuvier bowl. Staff were warm and welcoming room was spacious and comfortable.
John
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.
Kelly
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.
keith
Great location. Room very spacious. Staff xlnt
Olga
It was a nice place to stay in. Lived the proximity to the beach
Charlie
My room had the most amazing view - it was spacious and clean. The place is well situated, near restaurants and shops. Lovely relaxing space.
Jenny
Absolutely stunning water views! Room was beautiful and clean. Staff members were all extremely friendly and super helpful. Would love to come back again someday!!
Jason
We loved this charming little hotel. Great location with walking distance to tons of restaurants. We loved the little seating area overlooking the water. We would definitely stay again.
Jason
Wonderful location directly across from the beach. They had all the amenities my family needed for a great stay!
Christina
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.
Thomas
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
Ana
Excellent inn. May recommend an upgrade on electronics and charging ports. The staff were wonderful! The parking is easy.
Maribel
There are plenty of shops nearby and the rooms along with the customer service are truly welcoming. However, the beach might be a bit challenging to reach for some visitors.
Amy Carol
Great location and comfortable room.
Mark
Loved this place! Excellent location and wonderful staff. A great view and close to where the harbor seals and sea lions are. Walkable to many restaurants. I would definitely stay here again.
Patrick
Lovely location… rooms need some maintenance, but overall I look forward to visiting again.
Rebecca
There are many great things about this motel. The location is fantastic and the staff are friendly. The size of the suite was also very nice. The biggest issue is the dated condition of the property and room. The walls are paper thin, the carpet was badly stained, the bathroom was tiny old and icky. Plus- no room service. It needs a huge renovation but then it probably would be a lot more expensive. All in all,
We had a good visit though we wouldn’t return for those reasons.

Steven Bruce
Nice location with reserved parking. Friendly front desk person who was anxious to help. Requested daily housekeeping services, but bed was not made (which was odd).
Mary Murphy
Perfect set up for us. The view amazing and walkable to restaurants and shops.
Julie
Super cute rooms, friendly staff and the location was fantastic. Walking distance to restaurants and the beach was at our doorstep. Will definitely stay there again.
Jonelle
Enjoyed the location across from the beach with restaurants and more activity a short walk away. Loved being able to hear the ocean at night. Would stay again.
Christine
Beautiful location… the property is maybe a little tired and needs some tlc, but an amazing place with the best location and a wonderful staff!!!
Francis Tim
Incredible location and view
Greig
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.
Dreyson
The location is excellent, the staff is friendly and attentive…we really couldn’t have imagined a better experience for the money. Waking up and having a 20 second walk to the shore was amazing. We will be back!
Christine
The room was great and had a great view of the ocean.
Stacey
Perfect location. Loved the outdoor patio. Check in was easy.
liza
Beautiful spot to have ocean right out the door. Close to everything and great to have 2 rooms.

GEORGE
Great property
Margaret
This cute place has no pool or restaurant, but the ocean is right across a quiet street. And there are very walkable restaurants, shops, and art galleries. Brooke and the staff were so hospitable and kind. They have chairs and a bike to borrow for the beach, and a homey deck to watch the sunset. Loved it.
Regina
Quiet and calm. Felt like a small town. Would stay again!
SAMINA
Will definitely come back. Thanks.

Natalia
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!
Ashley
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 is beautiful, it is just a few minutes walk to the cove or to the beach. Room was clean and comfortable.

Brilliant position right by the sea. Clean spacious room
Leslie

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.
Owen
Amazing views, nice room, easy walking distance
Vanessa
Beautiful, quaint inn directly across from La Jolla wedding bowl, tide pools and ocean. Walking distance to many restaurants, shopping and cove. Highly recommended
Amy
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.
Jackie
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!!!
Binh
Older hotel but nice that it’s next to the beach.
Staci
Right accross the street from the beach. You can't beat that.
Reanadette
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.
Neal
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
Otherwise the stay was exceptional
Mark
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?
Carol
Good if you are on the top floor. They moved us after the first night since there was a wedding party above us. They were very accommodating
Lola
My trip was an amazing celebration of just being in the moment - enjoying the beauty of Mother Nature.
Monica
Our stay here was enjoyable. Our room offered a small refrigerator, microwave, a small kitchen table and chairs, a full size sofa and chair. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and stocked with all we needed.
Parking availble for guests only, additonal parking is available on the street. A furnished sun deck was available and comfortable to gather at. The beach is just across the street. The sunsets were incredible. Visitors lined the sidewalk, across the street, just to take in the
view at sundown. The staff was very accommodating, very friendly.
We will definitely return.

Sara
Bed covers too heavy. Lack of a night light. Inconvenient use of microwave.
Josephine
Great location, immediately right on the beach and close to food and entertainment. The walls are thin, anytime someone walked by our room, you could feel them. Other places cost the same, but the view and proximity to the beach was premium.
Ryan
The best thing is that it’s close to the beach and areas overlooking the ocean
Marcia
Ocean view in LaJolla.. what more is there to say.
John
the location is perfect, and for the most part we enjoyed every bit of our stay. Staff was great.
Laura
Great location and easy walking distance to sights. We were late for checking in bathe directions for late checkin were clear and easy. Will definitely stay again if ever in the area.
Marc
Clean rooms. Great customer service. Friendly staff. Right by the ocean. It was an awesome experience!!
David
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.
Graham
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.
rich
Fantastic location. Friendly staff.
Summer
Amazing Beach Hideaway
This place is perfect for a quick romantic getaway. We’re local and wanted a night away from the kids for our anniversary. We will definitely stay here again the beach access and walking distance of everything is great. Definitely some noise but with the windows closed it’s quiet.
