Verified Reviews of Inn by The Sea La Jolla

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Inn by the. Sea."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Very. nice hotel with pleasant full room service every other day. The room was clean but we had trouble with the temperature. Frequently too cold we had to remind them to turn on the thermostat which may have been turned off at night making the room too cold. There were not enough hangars in the closet. Ther could add a few inexpensive wire ones for lightweight items. The shampoo and hair conditioner were nearly impossible to squeeze anything out. of. We appreciated the. empty refrigerator.
