Wedding get away
Was at the hotel for a wedding. La Valencia was very close to everything in La Jolla. Just a block from the ocean and a block from great dining experiences and shopping. The hotel setting was very picturesque overlooking a park and the Pacific Ocean

Geat hotel
This hotel was in the perfect location. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. I would stay here again! My only complaints: Small bathroom. The water never got "hot"--always had a luke warm shower. The water in the newly tiled shower doesn't drain well--should have been designed on a slight slant for the water to run to the drain. The shower water gets all over the floor outside so you'll need to cover the entire bathroom floor with a towel. Lastly, it was obvious our floor was being renovated (prob the reason we paid what we paid) but the doors to the rooms being renovated were left wide open at times. It was creepy and god forbid children were ever walking around with out supervision and wandered in them=disaster! The rooms being renovated should have been kept securely locked.

Wonderful - but stay away from construction (Jan 2013)
First off, we stayed there in Jan 2013, but Orb isn't giving this year as an option to select, so I'll select 2012. For the most part, we really loved this hotel. La Valencia has a very accommodating and friendly staff and our standard king size room was lovely. My boyfriend and I went for romantic weekend together, that was only interrupted by an incessant drilling noise that awoke us each morning. We discovered that it was coming from the floor below us, the fifth floor, where the hotel is undergoing extensive renovations/construction. We were not compensated in any way for the disturbance and it was unfortunate that this left such a sour taste after what would've been a perfect stay. I still recommend the La Valencia hotel, but I would urge you to insist on staying a great distance away from the construction.

Short walk from hotel
The Cottage is a wonderful breakfast spot, only about a ten minute walk away, which is a perfect opportunity to enjoy La Jolla's great weather. Holly Ann is a wonderful server! She was friendly, chatting with us about our stay, remembering us when she saw us the next day, and splitting our meals onto separate plates for us at no extra charge.

Promotions?
The hotel was great, but when I signed up to stay there, the promotion items included, "free valet service and a bottle of wine". The valet service was free, but the bottle of wine was not included. I questioned the staff about this and they were completely stunned by the claim. I allowed it to be dismissed because the price was so low, and the value of the stay was so high. This is a must pick hotel to stay in if you can get the room price for $185/night or less.

The Living Room Coffee Shop is a staple of San Diego and there is one located about 200 yds from the hotel. They have great service, food, drinks, and as important as anything in La Jolla, a water view of the ocean from on top of the cove.

Wonderful...great food, location, view and entertainment, my complaint was that the room we stayed in was very small. Also there is a restaurant on the 10th floor we were not told about. Found out the last day and we had already eaten. That was disappointing.

Fabulous hotel in fabulous La Jolla
We spent two nights in la Valencia as part of a three week holiday in California and wished we had spent more time there. The staff were extremely helpful and our upgraded villa was perfect. This was a large, well equipped room with a comfortable balcony overlooking the pool and the bathroom was enormous with a spa bath and walk in shower. We would recommend this hotel to anyone who likes classic elegance and good service.

Perfect Scenic/Lovers' location
Extremely gracious staff welcomed us and assissted us throughout our stay. The Hotel has that certain charm and character that only comes from a classic historical property which has received excellent care and maintenance. The "feel" at La Valencia takes one back to wonderful memories.
