$$$$, La Jolla
Fodor's Review:
It may lack the charm of some of the older properties of this exclusive area, but this motel with studios and suites (some with spacious oceanfront balconies) gives its guests the same first-class views of La Jolla Cove at lower rates. The beach is across the street and down a short cliff, and snorkelers and divers can take advantage of lockers and outdoor showers. Continental breakfast is served in the sunroom. The underground lot is also a bonus in a section of town where a parking spot is a prime commodity.
