Guest Reviews

This place is beautifully located in the heart of LaJolla and is perfect for a single night or long stay. The people are solid, the service is top-tier, the bar staff know their way around a drink and the rooms are fantastic. The view from the hotel lobby and dinner is unmatched. I came with my son and we had a wonderful stay.

I have been to La Jolla many times, but this was my first stay at La Valencia. It will not be my last. It is an absolutely beautiful hotel in THE prime location in La Jolla. The hotel dates back to the 1920’s and retains its old world charm. It also has all the latest modern amenities to make your stay comfortable. The star is the location - the views are stunning. The Pacific Ocean is right behind the hotel and all the shops, galleries and restaurants of the city are short walks away. Sharing equal billing with the location is the staff - friendly, personable and very helpful. When I first checked in there was a problem with my room and I needed to be relocated. The hotel was very busy and likely sold out. Nonetheless Ann G spent considerable time working to find me the perfect room. She delivered with a spectacular ocean front room with sweeping views of the coast. I really appreciate her efforts. Later I managed to injure my leg and had a hard time walking. The staff found me a local clinic and Zack, a valet, drove me to my appointment in a golf cart. Just tremendous service above and beyond the norm. Fantastic hotel, tremendous location, all the amenities you need or want, and a phenomenal staff. A wonderful place to stay!

Absolutely beautiful hotel! I did not stay in a room, so I can't review the rooms. The hotel is wonderful. The grounds are very lush. Great views of the beach. Wonderful renovation. A magnificent place to just relax, have a bite to eat and drink, and just enjoy the surroundings.
