If you wonder whether the Bed and Breakfast Inn is for you, these facts may help. Rooms do not have television, but many of them have a fireplace. Some rooms have only a shower (no tub). For breakfast, there's a sweet and savory option each day. While it's tasty and enough to fuel your morning, don't expect the over-the-top feasts that some B&Bs provide.
A few of the rooms are listed as having an ocean view. What this really means is that you can see the ocean over the top of the two-story buildings across the road.
We would have given the B&B Inn four stars for its location, decor and staff, and it's a good place to get a more homey lodging than in a hotel. Compared to other places to stay in La Jolla, its price is a bit too high to make it a good value for your money, reducing its rating by half a star.
The Bed and Breakfast Inn is part of Unique Inns, which also includes the Inn at Occidental, Carter House, Vagabond Inn, Groveland Hotel and other great places to stay on the West Coast.
