The kids will sleep soundly after a fun day out at Scripps Beach. Hunt for shiny seashore treasures, stick a toe in the water or kick a ball around!

This stretch of coastline is on the to-do lists of many travelers to La Jolla. But Scripps Beach isn't the only drawcard here. La Jolla Cove, University of California, San Diego, and Mission Bay are some other worthwhile sights close by.

I thought that the Sofia hotel was great for my visit. It was close to my work conference, and the cleaning staff was excellent! The front desk team members were very friendly.

9/10 Wonderful! (269 reviews)

Best part of this hotel- the pool. The menu is great and the staff at the pool is super friendly. We booked a veranda king room and didn’t like the location of the room; the girl at the front desk was very reluctant to change our room and didn’t offer any sympathy. We notified the hotel it was our anniversary prior to checking in, but did not receive any special welcome at all during our stay. Property is clean and very pretty. Great dining options. Expensive self park, it’s 45 a day. 55 for valet. Wish the front desk staff was a little nicer, but they just didn’t care.
