A short walk down some steps and you can view sea lions and their pups frolicking in the waves. The town of La Jolla has great boutiques, and charming delicious restaurants. Valencia has old world charm, and all the people are extremely friendly.
United States of AmericaGet the ocean FACING room the view is better than ANYWHERE walking
United States of AmericaWe loved the location of the hotel, the vibe and general ambiance. The location is within excellent walking distance to lots of restaurants and shopping and of course, not too far from the beach. We spent the afternoon at the pool and received excellent service from the bartender (thank you, Jared) despite the fact that the pool was full and he was working solo. The room was great even though we were right next to the elevator, we never heard a sound. Our view was an odd angle but still lovely. The bed was amazingly soft and comfortable!
United States of AmericaThe location is unbeatable. You can walk to everything easily. The property is cool and stylish. Really enjoyed our stay!
