They charge $20 a night for parking and don't have enough surface parking for everyone. They do have a parking garage with a very steep incline to enter but a very low ceiling. Our vehicle was too tall to clear the entrance.

I get nervous picking independent hotels in new areas, but this Inn was really great! I was in La Jolla for just an evening and it was super walkable. I parked my car and never had to drive again! The room was comfy, the front desk was helpful. I didn’t utilize the amenities but it appeared to have a cute pool and guest lounge. The location was seriously perfect. Loved the view from my balcony & the clear elevator on the front of the building.

Cozy, comfortable hotel in downtown La Jolla. Excellent staff ensure a pleasurable stay at the Inn as well as La Jolla. Seal Rock and ocean walkways are minutes away, with multiple dining selections. The Inn offers coupons/discounts for several nearby restaurants. Rooms are a tad dated, but comfortable. Onsite parking (free with Expedia VIP) always has open spots. Only 15 minutes from UCSD, but with all of the benefits of being in La Jolla. Definitely would stay again.
