I just recently stayed at La Valencia with my sister and 15 month old daughter. We were in town for a wedding and had a great time. The staff was attentive, the location of the hotel is unbeatable, and the view...wow. The hotel has a charm that comes with years of service. Many new hotels would kill to "buy" the... More

I spent one night at La Valencia in connection with business meetings. It was a pleasure. The style of the hotel is historic and comfortable, not overly luxurious and a bit quirky but still nice. The location cannot be beat. Views from upper floors of the main wing are gorgeous. The service was very good. I would recommend this for... More

My boyfriend, son and I stayed at La Valencia over Christmas 2011. From beginning to end it was a wonderful stay. Despite construction, the hotel was quiet and lovely, and very welcoming. It's a nice blend of old world comfort with contemporary ease and a relaxed feel. My 20 year old son was comfortable walking around barefoot and playing ping... More

The hotel is beautiful - and the service AMAZING! The room was spotless, cream carpets are spotless, little balcony, really nice linens, a tiny little bathroom, very cute though! We used every bit of the property, jacuzzi, pool, dining room, front patio for breakfast. The service was impeccable, wine menu comprehensive and food GREAT! We will go again....the only bummer...

The hotel is beautiful and historical. It is perfectly located in the heart of La Jolla. The service was excellent and we enjoyed the restaurants. However, the photos on-line of the rooms must be the only rooms that have been up-dated. The moment we walked into our room I was less than enchanted. The carpet was very worn and the... More

The La Valencia is truly a beautiful hotel, the grounds are perfectly manicured with a view of the Pacific ocean that is beyond compare. The view from our partial ocean room was to die for, and taking a staycation sunday night was perfect for romantic night Together. Every place to be in the hotel has that beautiful view of the...

My wife and I spent four nights at the LaValencia last week in October. The hotel is absolutely beautiful. Old world charm with some modern amentities, but retains many features of original design. Received an upgrade on checking in - valet was very accommodating, although at $ 29 per night for parking, off-site self-park is preferable. Several public lots within... More

My husband and I booked an ocean view villa. We were warmly welcomed and escorted to our villa (villa 7) . Our "villa" was an average size room with a very small balcony and a large luxurious bathroom. But the carpet and the upholstered chairs were very worn and the chairs soiled, It was not a room in which we... More

Hotel could.t be located in a better spot. Right in center of town, on the beach. Historic Hotel so no elevators so be prepared for stairs. Room a little noisy with AC on. Clean rooms but needed updating. More

I booked myself a suite with an ocean view over new year's weekend, and it was without a doubt the most disappointing hotel experience of my life. I had always loved the La Valencia as a casual visitor, and enjoyed having lunch on the terrace or drinks in the main room overlooking the ocean. So I thought it would be... More
