So happy I stayed at La Valencia, the staff was very accommodating, the hotel is beautiful and room was sparkling clean. It is perfectly situated to explore the beach, cliffs, sea lions and seals as well as to explore the shopping and restaurants. I would stay here every time I visit La Jolla.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
One of my favorite hotels in California. Terrific location on a bluff overlooking the ocean, yet smack dab in the center of La Jolla, a charming beach town. You can walk to lots of delightful cafes, restaurants and shops. The hotel is 100 years old (rare for California...) and the lobby boasts a certain old-fashioned ambience - yet the rooms are elegant and contemporary in style. Staff are top notch in every way. My favorite feature was having a partial view of the ocean and being able to hear the sounds of the surf and the seagulls - despite having one of the cheaper rooms on offer. Dislikes: poor internet reception. But I'd return in a heartbeat...

It’s a stunning property, but they seemed overwhelmed by their guests and service suffered significantly. In every interaction we waited or needed to follow up several times before receiving slow service. Every bill we received was incorrect.
