An adventurous vacation
We had a really great stay at the Inn at the sea in La Jolla. The location was amazing and we could walk to the beach, the children’s pool, shops, restaurants, even a grocery store. Nearby there was a beautiful coastal hiking trail, and it was an easy drive to San Diego for other adventures. The hotel was very close to the museum of contemporary art.

Lovely hotel for romantic getaway
My husband and I went for a little weekend getaway and the hotel was lovely. We had an ocean view room with a big balcony. It was surprisingly quiet. You can walk everywhere, we left our car parked the whole time. The hotel staff is so friendly!!

It was ok. The hotel is totally outdated. When we checked in we were told no housekeeping which is disappointing.
