Best Western Inn by the Sea

The Best Western (like the more formal Empress, a block away) offers a terrific alternative to pricier digs nearby. Occupying an enviable location at the heart of La Jolla's charming village, this independently managed, nonsmoking property puts guests just a short walk from the cliffs and beach. The low-rise tops out at five stories, with the upper floors enjoying ocean views (and the highest room rates). Renovated rooms here are Best Western standard issue -- freshly maintained, but nothing special. All rooms do have balconies, though, and refrigerators are available at no extra charge; in addition, the hotel offers plenty of welcome amenities.

Facilities:
Access to nearby health club; outdoor heated pool
