Fantastic boutique inn by the ocean

Absolutely fantastic stay at the Pantai Inn. Beautiful property with fantastic rooms (and a fine place to invite friends back to for a glass of wine). Having the ocean just across the road, with the park between, was glorious, making for very peaceful mornings each day. The owners and staff were fantastic, welcoming and kind. I will stay here again anytime I'm back in La Jolla.

This hotel has a great vibe. They had complimentary water and sodas and fresh baked treats at night. The location was excellent. It is right by La Jolla Cove so we could walk and stroll the ocean boulevard anytime we wanted. I’d stay here again and have tried to but it was sold out. The moral of the story is book early. Don’t sleep on this place and miss your chance.
A friend wanted some of my breakfast.

The hotel is located perfectly across the street from shell beach. Also, plenty of shops/restaurants in walking distance. The breakfast was above average and the grounds were clean. The only complaint I have is the smell of the room. The overwhelming odor smacks you in the face the moment you open the door. Only after opening the windows and doors for 10 minutes does the smell become tolerable. Its a very strong old musty smell. If they could fix this, the stay would be perfect.

Simply amazing

From the booking over the phone to the great staff who attended me during my stay I enjoyed my get away. Breakfast that was served was great and the bar was a good time and the outside area with the heaters and fire pit was dope. I will definitely book another stay.... the rooms are well kept and the balcony showing the beautiful beach was the cherry on top
