I have stayed for years in Inn by the Sea La Jolla overall it is a very good hotel. However, now they have a breakfast to your room option. I ordered the oatmeal and coffee and was sadly disappointed in the oatmeal and coffee, both very bad. I thought I was supposed to pay $20 but they have several added charges written in very small writing which brought the price up to $30!!! Spoke to the manager and complained, he was very nice and did not charge me. I do NOT recommend the new breakfast delivery they offer. Other than this, I highly recommend the hotel.

Great location. But the parking is atrocious and the entrance to their underground parking(which is $20 a night, btw) is so low that it destroyed the sunroof and scraped the entire roof of my truck
Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024
Response from GM on 28 Mar 2024
Hello Devin, thank you for your high rating and your comments. We're sorry that you weren't able to find adequate parking. I don't know what to say about the damage to your truck because the height restriction and max limits are clearly marked by a bright orange bar across the entrance stating exactly how low the clearance is. We feel terrible that this happened.
