Reviews for La Valencia Hotel
Iconic, Timeless classic
I grew up coming to this beautiful property and I love that I can bring my family to share similar experiences. Every aspect is first class and we always leave reluctantly, but with plans to look at a calendar for our next trip. Very few places have maintained the brand integrity for decades like "La V."

Nice but not great
La Valencia is in a fantastic location right by La Jolla Cove — the views and walkability are hard to top. The service was good, though not quite at a luxury level. The building itself has character and old-world charm, but it isn’t quite as polished as the photos make it appear. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, but next time I’d probably explore other options in the area.

Perfect for an upscale experience for a romantic getaway
The location is perfect! The valet staff and Mark, the concierge are all welcoming from the moment you walk in. The ocean view room is beautiful and breath taking. Lastly, you will sleep well on the comfortable bed with the room darkening shades closed.

Worst experience ever
I was looking forward to staying at the historical hotel however I was gravely disappointed. I attempted to checkin at 2:30 but was forced to wait one minute prior to checkin time 4pm. The room I was given is on the top floor and directly below the generator. I couldn't sleep at all. Room wasn't very clean. I cleaned the toilet and my robe had a used stench. Upon checkout, I discovered damages to my rim after valeting.

Taste Of La Jolla- All under one roof.
The local, staff, local flavor, and walkability make the 'La V" and great option for your SoCal adventure to La Jolla California

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!
