Just wonderful for my mom’s birthday trip! We loved having a small kitchen, and the views of the water (across the street literally) were stunning! We will stay here again. Parking was worth the small fee,

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.

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.

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.
