What a horrible stay! Our room smelled of urine. The staff was rude and the hotel needs a complete remodel. The reviews say that this hotel has a great location. What a joke. It's a mile away from anything! Don't stay here. You'll regret it! more

Walking distance from the ocean, newly remodelled reception, reasonably priced. We use it whenever we are in La Jolla. more

We recently stayed two nights because we had a problem with our first hotel. The front desk staff were very helpful in helping sort out the problem and offered me a reasonable room rate.

The service here was very good the room was large and clean and for the money was very good value as well as being ideally... more

We had stayed at the BW INN By the Sea a few years ago. At the time, I had been impressed by the size of the room and the cleanliness. It was great for us as we were traveling with our 2 children and the beds were big and comfortable. This time I went back with just my husband and... more

We have stayed at Best Westerns many times before so we were well aware of what you get for what you pay for. Inn By The Sea, is in a great location. You can walk to pretty much everything.
