I chose this hotel out of nostalgia, and the hotel didn’t disappoint. It is expensive, but I found the property to be very well maintained and the staff first rate in friendliness and competence. A special shout goes out to the concierge Mark who provided a sweet surprise for my husband’s birthday and gave us excellent tips for restaurants. Our room was comfortable and for the most part quiet, the exception being early morning when delivery and trash trucks navigated Prospect St. (ask for a room facing the garden rather than the street). The Thursday jazz/swing jam in the courtyard was great fun.

My sister celebrated her 50th birthday with a stay at La Valencia. I contacted the hotel to arrange a birthday surprise for her and had an amazing experience with the concierge on duty. Shradda was kind, friendly and extremely helpful. She suggested a nice bottle of bubbly and arranged for a stunning floral arrangement to be in her room upon arrival. We had a bit of back and forth as I am out of state and was traveling at the time but Shradda was a great communicator and was very patient with me. I am so grateful to her for helping to make my sister’s birthday so special.

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!

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!
