Sea Lion Climbs Out Of Ocean, Tries To Check Into Luxury La Jolla, CA Hotel

A female sea lion in San Diego is still just a pup but she's already got a taste for the finer things in life.

The sea lion was spotted Tuesday morning lounging in a chair at the Pantai Inn, an all-suite hotel in La Jolla, Calif., which surprised hotel manager Shane Pappas.

“I received an email while I was getting ready for work stating that we had a baby sea lion in our courtyard,” Pappas told ABC News. “I called and said, ‘What are you talking about?’”

Surveillance video shows the sea lion had quite a trek making it from the ocean to the hotel, slithering up stairs to reach the road from the beach, then crossing the road and then finding its way into the courtyard.

The sea lion was eventually removed from its cushy lounge chair by officials from SeaWorld who took the creature to its Animal Care Complex a few miles south so it can be rehydrated and eventually released back into the wild, KGTV-TV reported.
