Shraddha with the Concierge was the best. She was very professional, sweet and gave us the best recommendations for me and my friends to enjoy our stay. She also took our pictures and showed us around the lobby and amenities at La Valencia. We were greeted with champagne and cookies as we came in. Shraddha was such a great asset to the hotel and gave us such an amazing experience.

Paid for ocean view and got a view of hedge. The hotel moved us to ocean view room. The room had no fridge, flooded the bathroom. We received room service on first night - then didn’t received room service for nights 2 and 3. Checked with front desk and they said since they upgrade room we had to request room service. They upgraded to a room that we paid for and requested. Horrible customer service from management. Hotel staff has been awesome with the exception of the front desk.

We stayed in a suite by the pool area and thoroughly enjoyed the room, with its close proximity to the pool and the cove. The staff was very accommodating and provided rides up and down the street in the golf cart so we could visit local restaurants, as my husband has difficulty walking. We ate several times at the hotel restaurant and always received excellent food and service. I felt it was good value for all that we enjoyed. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

We came to La Jolla to see a couple colleges, celebrate an anniversary and enjoy a relaxing few days along the Pacific Coast. La Valencia exceeded all expectations. Just a wonderful, relaxed vibe. The hotel is a classic in the truest sense of the word. There's a nostalgic charm around every corner here. We stayed in The Valencia Suite and couldn't get enough of the wraparound balcony and fireplace. Just absolutely stunning views, partiularly at sunset, creating a perfect backdrop for morning coffee and evening wine. The pool area is, again, a throwback and is a must-see. As with everything else, it maintains a nostalgic vibe but with all amenities updated. The staff has been absolutely superb in all facets - would like to express gratitude to all, particularly the bar staff on Monday night, who went above and beyond to get us wine a few minutes after they had started to close up. Couldn't recommend La Valencia more.

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!
