From the moment we arrived the hotel staff was very attentive and took care of everything from scheduling massages to restaurant reservations. We would highly recommend staying at the La Valencia Hotel while in La Jolla.

Our stay at La Valencia was so much more than we ever expected! We were treated royally, had exceptional service, and the hotel was beautiful. We were upgraded to a lovely room with every amenity, hugh flat screen tv, and a very modern bathroom. The views of the Pacific were spectacular, and the gardens on the grounds were covered with...

We stayed for three nights in La Valencia. Everything met or exceeded our expectations. We cannot comment on the restaurants because we dined always out with friends of ours from the area. Enzo and Margie Pennisi, Rome Italy

My wife and I returned to La Jolla, the location of our wedding and other significant events, for our tenth wedding anniversary. We chose to stay at La Valencia, the multi-storied and much-storied hotel on Prospect Street, on a rise above Scripps Park and the ocean. Good choice. The weather didn't cooperate (gray, gray, gray ... until the day we... More

Did not stay at the hotel but enjoyed a wonderful lunch in the Mediterranean Room looking out over the Pacific. The setting is perfect, the food excellent, and the service was very attentive without being bothersome. We enjoyed lunch with friends and at no time felt rushed even though the restaurant was quite busy. It appears to be a favourite... More

My husband and I with another couple spent two wonderful days and nights at this historic, beautifully maintained hotel. The hotel dates from the early 1920's and has many interesting old photos of the hotel during different eras. Also photos of old movies stars and various famous people who have made the La Valencia their spot in La Jolla. We... More

This is an ideal location. The hotel is 80 years old and an icon of La Jolla. It is a 2-3 minute walk down to the beach where you can either enjoy the beach and a swim or walk the boardwalk and look out over the sea lions on the rocks. The hotel is on the main street of La... More

If you like the old time atmosphere of a grand hotel, this is the place. Food and service is excellent. Although the workout room is cramped and very few weights and no machines other than for cardio. Make sure before you travel to the area, GET A WEATHER REPORT. The coast in this area is often times gloomy, cold and... More
