Can’t wait to return! Scripps Inn is directly across from the ocean. The rooms are charming. Recommend: Ask for ocean view if available. There is no breakfast but the museum has an excellent breakfast and lunch. Easy walk to museum and the center LJ COVE.

The parking was extremely convenient and safe. It was located right by our room and the front lobby. All of the staff were very kind and friendly. The location was just across the street from the beach. We enjoyed walking along the walkway above the beach with great views of the sea lions and many different kinds of sea birds!
