La Valencia Hotel

We 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!

This is definitely not the place to stay if you want to walk outside the resort and be on the beach. There is a park across the street which is very full of people. The beach directly in front of the hotel is all cliffs so to actually be on the beach requires a little walk. Easy if you're two adults but not so easy carrying stuff and kids (we didn't have kids, just my observation). Also, the elevator is very small and absolutely necessary if you are traveling with someone in a wheelchair. Lots and lots of stairs.

Public spaces are beautiful. The pool was lovely and Lisa (one of the pool attendants) was especially wonderful. Excellent location in the village.

No housekeeping for the rooms at all, which they did not warn us about. Lots and lots of stairs as the hotel is built on a hill. No problem for us, but for anyone with mobility issues could be an issue. There is an elevator but it is slow.

excellent location, beautiful bar, great pool, staff is helpful. valet parking is included which is great. food and drinks are outstanding. highly recommend eating dinner if you can sit in the Terrace. Best food I ate in San Diego! will stay again

Expensive to book. Sadly, some parts of the hotel are old and dated, especially the passages. room service when requested took quite long

View was superb. We were upgraded to a suite with a view which was beautiful. One night there was a very loud TV above but the staff could not get the clients to turn it off. I was given a discount for the disturbance which was very much appreciated. Staff was the best!

Noise from the neighbor.

This is a glamorous hotel perched in a perfect spot to watch the beautiful sunsets of La Jolla. 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.

The restaurant service was mediocre at best. No placemats, no bread served, no salt and pepper, and a small and overworked staff. Also the menu was quite limited.

Loved our stay! Everything was excellent! Noah made sure we had a great room, as it was my husbands birthday. Only negative was going up the stairs to the 9th floor. Elevator was not working. Is this Hotel exempt from ADA?

See above.

This is truly the Grand Dame of Hotels in La Jolla. They "Pink Lady" really impressed me. The views are amazing. The old time elegance of this property is beautifully presented. Finally, the location in La Jolla is central and within walking distance of everything one needs.

The room and view were beautiful. We had a corner room with views of Ellen Browning Park and the Cove. Waking up to the palm trees and ocean view was a dream. We stayed here the night before our wedding and also the night of. Staff were helpful with the smallest details like storing our cake and providing scissors for last minute tasks. It was a beautiful place to start our new life together. Thank you!

The hotel was stylish, classy, and perfectly located.

The room felt moist, for lack of a better word. Not humid, because it wasn't hot or warm. But like you were never completely dry.

Amazing location and views from the room.

You can tell it’s an older hotel. Also the room advertised to me wasn’t what I saw in the photo, so I was a little surprised. 4K for 5 nights is a lot to spend on a room that was like 500 square feet.
