Reviews for La Valencia Hotel
Awful Stay
This was the worst stay I have ever had at a hotel that charged such a high price per night. You are absolutely paying solely for the location and that is absolutely it. Our room had a broken AC, and we had to be moved to a super loud room. Rooms are all old, musty smelling, dirty, old/loud ACs, very LOUD. We came for a relaxing vacation and couldn't get any sleep whatsoever. Loud live music at night, loud cars, loud people passing by, can hear the people above you even using the bathroom - omg never ever ever ever again. Stay from hell.

Cool Historic Hotel
La Valencia’s history is really the standout. Very 1920's the moment you walk in; older architecture, vintage details, and a kind of old‑school La Jolla charm that’s hard to find anywhere else. The views over the Cove add to it, and the whole property has this relaxed, timeless vibe. The pool and common areas keep that same character, and the staff is friendly and easy to work with. It’s just a cool, historic spot in a great location.

Fantastic!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Valencia! Views of the coast line from the room, comfortable bed and spacious quarters made our trip unforgettable.

Pleasantly Surprised!
Had a business meeting in the La Jolla area, and La Valencia was the perfect location, not to mention the exceptional customer service and unique experience. The hotel is a historical landmark - which ties in to the unique experience for me. No TV's in the lobby bar, just people having real conversations and interacting while enjoying spectacular views. Greeted by a concierge right at entry. Cocktails and food at the end of the day were well crafted and high quality. Being an older hotel, the rooms are on the smaller size, but still comfortable and slept well. The pool looked like it was a happening scene and will hopefully have time on my next trip to unwind. Valet parking only - no self parking but service was quick and friendly by the attendants. I'll definitely be back!

An Indulgent Weekend by the Sea
Our stay at La Valencia Hotel was wonderful from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive. Check-in and check-out were quick and pleasant, and we were welcomed with a complimentary glass of champagne upon arrival. The grounds were beautiful and impeccably maintained—it felt like stepping into a classic 1950s movie set. The pool area was stunning, and we loved the ocean views from the breakfast terrace. A special thank you to Colton, our bellhop, and Mark, the concierge, who were outstanding. They provided great recommendations, arranged transportation to nearby shops via golf cart, suggested local walks and kayak tours of the sea caves, and even helped secure reservations for us. Their hospitality truly made our stay exceptional.

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!
