La Valencia delivers. The location is ultra-walkable to downtown La Jolla, shopping, dining, and scenic walk to the cove. We booked an ocean-view suite sight unseen. Upon check-in, we were surprised there was no balcony and I would call our view "parking/rooftop view with ocean behind and to the far right"...but.... here is the good stuff. The Cove is a nice walk away down on-property stairs and an access controlled street gate. A huge park is between the hotel and the ocean. It is a nice place to walk and check out the sea lions. Lots of restaurants, hair salons, shopping, ice cream, and dining within a close walk. We went to the hotel table seating room for drinks and small bites. Had a few excellent rum runners and also got shrimp cocktail, hummus, and charcuterie. All excellent. Room was ready over an hour early which was nice. We had to check out super early 04:30 and valet parked our car out front...super convenient and much appreciated. Suite: decent, comfy, single sink and single restroom, no balcony, oceanview technically correct but not an amazing view. Room could have been cleaner. Shoes stuck to the floor in some spots. Clean and comfy bed. Dining/drinks: 10 out of 10. Fun date location with the wife. Got to chill and unwind with great drinks and bites. Location: crazy good. Service: great

Stopped by for cocktails before dinner reservations. Bar was crowded and hostess said grab a drink at the bar and bring it to the terrace. Cool secret. Great views and would be a nice place to watch the sunset.

Great ocean view and cocktails. Prompt and friendly service.

INCREDIBLE venue for weddings. The staff is amazing and everywhere brings that perfect vintage, Spanish aesthetic we all want from San Diego. I photographed a wedding their last Saturday and it was perfection.

Exelente servicio y buena vista al mar

Beautiful hotel with great access to amenities . Concierge Mark was extremely valuable and made many wonderful suggestions

I admit that I've never stayed at La Valencia hotel, I've only ever gone to the lounge for a drink and some nibbles. BUT... if the quality of service, well mixed cocktails, and tastiness of nibbles is anything to go by then I assume staying overnight in their hotel is pretty good. Every time my wife and I go there we get a table by the big window, a cocktail, some scooby snacks, and just chill out enjoying the view of the ocean and each other's company. Even when it's busy in there it's not loud like most lounges, which is nice. Every time we've been the service is always great, the cocktails are always soooooo tasty, and the food is very good. One of my favorite places to visit when I'm in San Diego.

One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Insanely beautiful location with an amazing staff. Everyone from valet, to front desk, to housekeeping made me feel so welcomed and relaxed. I love enjoying an old fashioned in La Sala and soaking in the ocean views. Truly a 5 star stay.

Perfect location, amazing food, staff is friendly and helpful

Beautiful historic hotel with amazing ocean views and a perfect location in the heart of La Jolla. Our room was comfortable, the pool area was great for relaxing, and the staff was consistently friendly and helpful. A classic, charming stay — we’d definitely come back.
