Boasting an outdoor pool, La Jolla Riviera Inn is 5 minutes' walk from La Jolla Shores Beach in La Jolla, California. A number of dining options can be reached within 5 minutes' walk.

Each apartment/suite at the La Jolla Riviera features a fully equipped kitchen with an oven, a microwave, and a refrigerator. A bedroom with one Queen size bed. A separate living room with a fold out sofa-bed, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, and a private bathroom with free toiletries.

Been here twice. The manager Debbie is really friendly and supportive, really responsive to our need and questions. The location is just perfect, which is really close to La Jolla Shore/La Jolla Cove, etc. And we really enjoyed cooking with the kitchen provided.

    The house is in a great neighborhood close off of the highway, but the neighborhood itself seemed quiet and safe. The first night we had trouble finding parking due to street construction, but our host helped us with that and the other days there was plenty of parking. Everything is very well thought out in the studio with a very charming theme and thoughtful amenities.

    the cottages are very sweet! Perfect for spending lots of time of time or short time! We got an upgrade because our room wasn’t ready to host us, so we had a great time! People at the reception were friendly and kind! Definitely suggested! Great location, very quiet and closed by pretty much everything!

    The staff is amazing!! So welcoming and had patient to answer all of my questions, they were so helpful, thank you so much! Also, I felt really safe as a woman travel alone. It feels like they care, there are quiet hours, there are separated bathrooms and keys for the dorms room so nobody except of your roommates can get in. You can lock the bathroom too. The kitchen is great too and the general atmosphere is wonderful, Wifi is working, great hostel!!!!!
