"This is a lovely place to stay in La Jolla Shores. I’ve stayed here 7 times in 7 years and always find the people running it to be helpful and friendly. It’s not fancy and not super polished, but the location can’t be beat."

La Valencia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"La Valencia Hotel – A Beautiful Ending to Our Pacific Coast Adventure! 🌴🌊 What a wonderful way to conclude our two-week journey down the Pacific Coast! La Valencia is a beautiful, iconic hotel in the heart of La Jolla, filled with old-world charm, elegance, and Mediterranean character. The ocean views and gorgeous surroundings make it a truly special place to experience. There’s something magical about the atmosphere here. It’s romantic, inviting, and full of California coastal charm. The location is wonderful for exploring La Jolla, enjoying the scenery, and simply slowing down to appreciate the beauty of the coastline. After traveling from Washington through Oregon and California, La Valencia was a memorable final stop on our bucket-list adventure. A lovely way to say goodbye to California! ❤️"
