The 44-room Travelodge La Jolla Beach is an affordable, value, chain hotel located within a short walk of the beach. Rooms are dark and dated, but clean with convenient touches including microwaves, mini-fridges, toasters, and coffeemakers. There’s
a cute outdoor courtyard with a heated pool and whirlpool. The hotel provides
a free continental breakfast with bagels, muffins, and fruit, but if guests are looking for
hot items they’ll have to walk to the cafe next door and buy breakfast. Other freebies include Wi-Fi throughout and parking. In La Jolla -- where most hotels are consistently over two times the price -- this Travelodge offers serious value for the location. For a budget option with full kitchens, travelers could try La Jolla Cove Suites.

Scene
Budget, chain hotel with beachy vibe
Blue rails and bright,
international flags add color to the outside of the two-pearl Travelodge La Jolla Beach,
while palm trees bring a touch of greenery to the parking lot surrounding the
hotel. Inside, there’s a small lobby with a front desk and a rack holding loads of travel brochures. A buffet table holds the free continental breakfast items including
fruit, muffins, and bagels, but there’s nowhere to sit; some guests choose to eat on the wooden benches outside the hotel. Outside, a large mural
of the sun rising over the ocean makes for a cheery backdrop over the heated
swimming pool. There’s a small blue-tile shower where guests can rinse off, and
white, plastic lounge chairs and a table with an umbrella offer a spot to relax
poolside. This property attracts a range of budget travelers, from families to groups of friends who want a fair price and a location near the beach.
Location
In a residential area within a short walk to the beach
This hotel
is located in an area of La Jolla with older homes and apartments as well as
businesses. It’s not as touristy or picturesque as La Jolla Cove. The hotel is
next to a cafe (which serves hot breakfasts) and a Mexican restaurant. It’s a six-minute walk to the beach and the
cliffs of Windansea, a favorite spot for surfers. Guests can reach the nightlife of the Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego or San Diego International
Airport in a half-hour drive.
Rooms
Clean and simple rooms, but dark and dated
No-frills rooms at this value hotel are
clean and basic with blue carpeting and white walls. Furnishings such as pink-and-brown bedding, blue fabric chairs, and
beige pushbutton telephones make the basic space feel dated. Framed paintings
of seashores do little to brighten the space. All rooms have microwaves,
mini-fridges, coffeemakers, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms
are white with ceramic-tiled stand-up showers or shower/tub combos.
Magnifying mirrors are a thoughtful touch, but the list of prices charged for items
should guests take them home, including hand towels and pillows, feels a bit
presumptuous. Smoking and non-smoking rooms are available.
Features
Outdoor heated pool and whirlpool, free limited breakfast, and coin-operated laundry
Travelodge La Jolla Beach
provides a limited free continental breakfast including coffee, orange juice, tea, bagels,
muffins, cereal, and fruit. There is no full restaurant on-site, but there is a cafe and a Mexican restaurant next door. There’s a heated outdoor pool and whirlpool at the
hotel with lounge chairs and a poolside shower. A coin-operated washing and
drying machine are also available for guests to use, and parking is free. Wi-Fi is also free throughout.
