The check-in clerk was very fast, helpful and courteous. Though I booked online and got a good rate ($99/night) it was supposed to be on first floor. They instead put me on third floor in the back, where I had a slight ocean view off to the right. The room was quiet enough, the bed comfortable, the wi-fi actually worked.... 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. The hotel staff is quiet, respectful and helpful. The rooms are clean although a bit out dated. My only complaints are... more

Staff and managers can TAKE reservations, but they can't KEEP reservations! They also have rude and inconsiderate staff. Using the phone, I reserved a room as part of a blocked set of rooms for a meeting several weeks prior to the meeting. I asked if they wanted my credit card to hold the reservation, they said "no, your reservations is... more

I stayed at Best Western La Jolla in November of 2006. The hotel itself is an average hotel located in a beautiful part of San Diego. The rooms are okay in size but they have not been updated for a while, entire hotel feels little outdated. Breakfast is very poor, cereal, croissants and toast bread with very bad coffee... On... more

There's nothing fancy or luxurious about this hotel, but if you're looking for value and location in La Jolla, this is a property to consider. My room appeared to be in need of some updating; I think they were trying to have a "seaside" type decor, but that old green carpet needs to go. I was also a bit disappointed... more

My husband sometimes works just around the corner, so we went there several times. We paid full rates and didn't expect to be treated so badly. This place keeps getting worse and worse and after the stay in Aug. 2006 we're not returning there. First of all, I don't see how they can claim it has been updated. I guess... more

Basically this is a 200/night hotel that would be 80/night almost anywhere else. I realize the location is going to add to the cost but I looked around La Jolla and the Empress just down the block looked like a much better value for almost the same price. The location is good with everything in walking distance. I can't say... more

We stayed at the Best Western Inn by the Sea for a few days in January and hated it! While the location is ideal and the price is not bad for the area, would have preferred to stay at the Empress just down the next block(which we have stayed in since this last trip - what a difference!). The rooms... more
