Pantai Inn

Absolutely amazing, booked here for our last 3 nights in America, had a fantastic suite with a balcony looking directly out to the ocean. Rooms very clean and comfortable. Every staff member very friendly and helpful. Fantastic breakfast and love the free soda and cookies in the lobby. Great rooftop area and an easy walk to all the restaurants and shops. You can see the sea lions/seals only a 5 minute walk away. Loved staying here and would love to come back.

Excellent location, so close to a small beach where we could sit on the sand and wade in a little. The hotel provides the beach chairs, umbrella and towels. But also close to a nice walk along the coast to see sea lions and beautiful scenery. Room 106 was a great 3 bedroom. The bathrooms were a bit small but having the kitchen, dining room and living room to spread out in easily made up for that. The deck was small but wrapped around and was nice to sit out on, and shady for a good part of the day. You could see the water from both the deck and living room , even though partially obscured by the building in front. Breakfast was ok although it could use more healthy choices. The sitting area outside for breakfast and for hanging out with a view of the water was great. Having water, soda, coffee and tea always stocked in the lobby was great! All the staff was super helpful.

I loved this place. It’s quirky…but my “room” was actually more like an apartment! Full kitchen, separate living and dining room. Amazing. I had a partial ocean view, which was nice and I could hear the surf from my room. The breakfast was nice and eating on the patio very pleasant.

Pantai Inn is a hidden jewel on the coast in La Jolla! Our one bedroom suite had an ocean view, small patio, very comfortable bed and kitchenette (sink, fridge, small stove top, and coffee maker). On-site parking was also plentiful ($25/night). My wife and I only had one night available to celebrate our anniversary and Pantai was willing to book for a single night during the busy summer holiday season. Furthermore, when our babysitter/dogsitter got sick, Edwin (Manager) was extremely accommodating - allowing us to move our reservation with only 24 hours notice to a future date. Accessing downtown La Jolla for dinner was an easy uphill walk (to The Manhattan) and walking the beach at low tide was a bonus in the AM. La Jolla is always charming - and Pantai Inn should be added to your "Places to stay" list.

The rave reviews are 100% accurate. Excellent location, very comfortable room, generous breakfast and cheerful staff. We spent 6 nights and have already booked a return visit. If you plan on visiting La Jolla, this is the place to stay.
