We always enjoy our stay at the lovely Scripps Inn. Elaine and the staff are so accommodating. The morning pastries are yummy, and the rooms are very clean. The Inn is perfectly located with amazing sea views and a short walk to the center of town.

The Inn was a good value for the money and in an excellent location. The hotel staff was nice enough to leave our key for us as we got there late and the rooms were quite nice. The breakfast was very simple. The only complaint we had was our neighbors who smoked outside our doors but that's not the fault... More

If what you expect is a seaside B&B with no perks, this is the place. The rooms were clean. Slight improvements would definitely improve the experience. Thoughts include higher quality sheets, softer pillows, larger towels, a rug on the floor and minor decorative improvements. Location is great and a few tweaks are all it needs. If you are an early... More

This was our second visit to this inn. Location cannot be better. Easy access to the ocean walk and running paths. Very nice deck to enjoy breakfast on,read, or watch the sunset. This is a very well maintained period lodging,very reminiscent of "Same Time Next Year" era.

We just returned from a four night stay at this inn. It was right on the beach and close to restaurants and shops. We shared a room with our two teenage boys. The staff was patient with our wet suits and snorkelling gear and they were eager to help with information on local sites. A really lovely place to stay!

We spent one night there to enjoy the area. It was a very nice B&B right on the shore. Great location at the en of all the shops. You could walk across the street and see an amazing view of the coast. The person at the front desk was extremely nice and very helpful. The rooms were adequate with a... More

This place has lots of character and charm. The rooms are large in size. the bed was very comfortable. If you are one who finds themselves liking sleek and modern and the most up to date in interior finishes, this place may not be for you. If you like quaint and want to get away from the boxy hotel, you... More

I recommended this hotel to friends who were visiting from out of town. I pass by this hotel often, thought the location was fantastic, and had checked it out online. Online, it looked very clean and beachy with lots of white linens, etc. However, the reality is quite different from the online photos. The rooms were dingy, as was the... More

This is our second stay at Scripps Inn, and we truly hope there will be many more! We accompanied friends celebrating a momentous anniversary - this hotel is the perfect location for a relaxing getaway. It's charming - only 14 rooms, it feels intimate, but the rooms are large, well appointed and comfortable. A simple continental breakfast is included, with... More

My husband and I stayed here for one night during our anniversary trip to San Diego. The room we stayed in was lovely and the location was perfect within walking distance of the town.The room was very spacious and we were steps away from the Pacific Ocean. However, considering the price that we paid for the room we expected much... More
