The breakfast was decent and well rounded, eggs and potato, waffles, etc… hit the spot and quickly moved on to our activities
We stayed here for about 3 nights and the staff were very accommodating. The breakfast was also great and we would definitely come back. We loved our ocean view and were able to enjoy the private balcony a lot.
This hotel had the absolute best service. The location cannot be beat. Room was very clean and cozy. Love the outside seating areas especially the rooftop deck to view the ocean sunset. Thank you ! We will be back.
This property is beautiful! And sits in La Jolla!
We only stay here and love how close it is to the ocean! Rooms are clean and they are very accommodating if you need anything.
Great place for our family to enjoy the Fourth of July! Booked two very spacious, ocean view rooms for our family. Beautiful location, steps from the ocean and Ellen Browning Scripps Park.
We were able to enjoy the beach, walk to shops and restaurants on Girard, and walk to the Cove to view the drone show launched from La Jolla Shores as well as a few other fireworks shows.
The included breakfast was delicious and fresh! Loved the rooftop area!
Free breakfast and free drinks 24/7. Location was perfectly situated in front of oceanside. Very pretty view from the rooftop. Kitchen is also available in the room. The place feels like home.
Our favorite hotel in La Jolla. The best location, walking distance to everything and the rooms are so perfect. They feel more like staying in an apartment than a hotel room.

Great location, courteous and helpful staff, large and comfortable room
Everything was delightful. The breakfast was the most enjoyable hotel breakfast I've ever had with Dori being very kind and attentive. The location is perfect. I enjoyed the evening on the rooftop deck, looking out at the ocean.

What a find. Perfect spot in LaJolla cove overlooking the ocean. Great rooms and an absolutely wonderful staff. Can’t say enough good things.
The room was very clean, the staff was extremely accommodating and the included breakfast was great. Free bottled water, soda and coffee always available in the lobby was a nice extra touch!
We were there for a wedding for my nephew. The staff was very helpful, very friendly and took care of everything every time we asked and dropped us off at the venue so we didn’t have to park a car would recommend nice facility worth the price we stayed in the honeymoon suite.
We had a great time at Pantai Inn and La Jolla. The hotel location is perfect, within walking distance to the ocean and all the shopping/food. The staff was amazing also, very helpful. The rooms were clean and well kept. We will definitely stay here again.
