Top La Jolla Recreation Center Hotel Reviews

Orli La Jolla

10/10 Excellent

"This is a lovely boutique hotel with some of the typical quirks that come with this type of property. First the quirks: Parking is generally street parking but they have offsite parking without in and out privileges. There’s no bar in the garden, which while not necessary seems a bit of a miss in such beautiful surroundings. There is some maintenance starting to be needed with doors on cupboards a little loose. As for everything else: The property is beautifully designed and the garden is a very pleasant retreat. Furnishings are all very comfortable. The hotel is incredibly clean and water bottles and snacks provided in the complimentary minibar are excellent. Overall, this is a fantastic place to spend a long weekend as a couple or family with a small child. The hosts at the desk simply could not be more helpful and go out of their way to make it a special stay when travelling with children."

La Jolla Shores Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent, we’ll be back!"

Pantai Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The Pantai Inn is truly an amazing property and such a hidden gem! The location is fantastic — right on the water and within walking distance of the seals, downtown shopping, and so many great restaurants. The staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming, and I loved all the thoughtful complimentary amenities, including breakfast, sodas, and laundry. The atmosphere of the property is charming and relaxing, and the rooftop lounge area with the fire pit was such a great place to unwind. Before our trip, I had a really hard time deciding which hotel to choose, but now that I’ve stayed at the Pantai Inn, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the area."

Scripps Inn La Jolla Cove

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel with breathtaking views of the ocean. It is literally mere steps from the beach. Our friends got married at The Wedding Bowl across the street and it was beautiful and super convenient. The hotel was beautiful, clean, and spacious. The only complaint is limited parking. But it's to be expected at a beach front hotel."

Empress Hotel of La Jolla

8/10 Good

"I liked the underground secured parking. It is close to a lot of restaurants and the ocean. We visited during hot weather, adding a ceiling fan to our room would be big in staying cool."
