OK hotel with nice location. The decor is very tired. Bed was uncomfortable. We were there for 5 days and they only made up our room once - after we asked for it. Have coffee and tea service out for guests but no non dairy creamer. The staff were friendly.

Probably will not stay again until renovations are complete. The room was below average; fortunately, we were there only 1 night. We will be traveling to La Jolla a lot in the future to visit family. Inn by the Sea needs to be a better hotel, not just a room.

Very clean room comfortable bed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a primo location with restaurants, cafés shops, and of course the ocean just steps away. My only reason for a four star instead of five was that there were some renovations going on during our stay — we were grateful that we were located in a room away from most of the noise. If a traveler was just planning to be in the room in the evening after 5 PM, I would say the noise is not a factor at all.

Easy parking, fantastic front desk help, beautiful view from the balcony, great location for shopping and eating and to walk to the oceanfront walkway. It is undergoing construction right now, but our room was still comfortable and clean. We did not have any construction noise because we were there on a weekend and the construction did not impede the view or the lobby. I am sure that after the renovation, the rooms are going to be beautiful. The rooms are also very large, so they are easy to move around in, even with lots of luggage or more than a couple people.
