Michael was the best server I’ve had here. He is always so polite and professional. He is attentive and great. I come here so much because of him.

You can't go wrong staying here. Perfect La Jolla location--you can walk to the Cove, nearby beaches, shops and restaurants. Hotel has great pool and spa on the property. Friendly helpful staff for us who live nearby but especially for visitors from afar! I love hearing the sea lions and seagulls in the early morning!

Amazing location, service, and views. I loved looking out my window to the ocean, walking down to the sea lion pups, and exploring the ample options of amazing food all around.

The hotel is almost a century old. With that it has a classic style. Located on a hill adjacent to the ocean the views are remarkable. Loved the dinners overlooking the courtyard and ocean. The best part was the friendly and attentive staff.

Just had a great vacation! Loved La Valencia Hotel...so nostalgic and very well done! Our room was in the West Wing with two queen beds, down pillows and crisp hi thread count sheets; it was a completely refurbished room that still maintained it's history. The staff, from the moment we pulled up throughout the very end of our stay, was friendly, courteous and extremely helpful. The grounds were impeccable and in a perfect location...on one side is the ocean and the other the village. We would definitely stay there again!
