I'll start with the positives: The service was great, the hotel is beautiful, especially the pool and jacuzzi area. (The exterior could definitely use a fresh coat of paint, however.) The grounds are clean and well maintained. The location is very convenient. You could walk right out to the La Jolla Cove or to Prospect Ave where there are many... more

We stayed there during US Open. Was recommended by our colleague who lived in San Diego. Our company made a large advance payment to block rooms 8 months in advance. Hotel refused to give us keys to all the rooms that we paid for - insisted that the individual who stayed at the room had to check in to get... more

I just checked out of the La Valencia after two of the most horrible nights in my life. When I booked my room, I explained that I needed it to be as quiet as possible, given the fact that I would be arriving from a 15+hour flight and with a 9 hour time difference. As I checked in, I had... more

We stayed at the La Jolla while visiting our son who is studing at UCSD. We originally planned to stay near to the Campus but I'm really glad we stayed in La Jolla Cove. There are great cafes, shops and restaraunts - its quite a pretty town. The Hotel is right on the main street, has great views from the... more

My husband and I booked this hotel as we had out of country guests visiting with us and we wanted to take them to the ocean. One of our guests was quite elderly, and I had read in a previous review that someone who was also travelling with an elderly person found La Jolla to be the perfect destination as... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for three nights and we wish it could have been longer. This place is a hidden paradise with lush plants, hidden gardens and sunken hot tub. The pool area is beautiful and the hotel location is tops, close to all shopping and the coves. The service was wonderful, both in the hotel... more

We came to the hotel for a family wedding. The valet service left our vehicle unlocked, allowing thieves to remove valuable items from our vehicle. When we brought this to the attention of the manger, Mr. Featherstone, he insinuated that we were lying. We reported the loss to the police and filed a claim with the hotel. The hotel's insurance... more

My wife and I stayed at La Valencia for 1 night for our anniversary last week and had a great experience. The service is the best we have ever experienced (better than any Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton or Mandarin Oriental). The hotel conceirge called a few days before our arrival and asked if there was anything we needed for our... more

I was nervous about staying here because I didn't know what to expect....after reviews...it seems it may be a hit or miss hotel...I got the room for $240 on hotels.com and we had a room in the west wing, it was updated and very nice. We recently were in Turks and Caicos at an amazing resort and have high standards,... more
