I have tried many hotels in the area. This was my second stay at the Valencia and I will return. Better than the Grande Colonial. Very different but as good as the US Grant.

I knew from reading the reviews here that the elevator might be out of service which it was. The staff was great. I need something for a headache, my husband needed more pillows, and we needed ice at all hours of the day and night, all I had to do is pick up the phone and there was a knock on the door. The food was out of this world. The view was beautiful.  For those of you who smoke there is no smoking on the property so needless to say I didn’t need to use the gym, I got some great pictures, and the hubby’s wallet is lighter from the shopping.

We had an awesome time there. All people working there were super friendly and made our stay a wonderful experience. The restaurant at the terrace offers a spectacular view together with great food. The hotel manager was a very nice gentleman from Austria who seemed to care about guests and personnel.

My girlfriend and I decided to pay the extra money to stay at La Valencia because of the many rave reviews. However, we were both very dissapointed by the experience we had during our recent stay. While the room was clean, we were three floors BELOW the lobby level. This would not be a big deal, however, the elevator was not in service do to "ongoing  renevations". Furthermore, the carpet and wall paper in the stairway were ripped out (presumably as part of the renovation). It made the journey to our room feel like we were descending via a service entrance rather than the grand staircase one would expect to find at such an upscale (expensive) hotel. There were other minor issues as well and overall we were extremely dissapointed by our experience. We could have spent a lot less for a much better experience elsewhere. I would not recommend this hotel in its current state.

From the moment you pull into the valet area you are met with friendly faces! From the valets, front desk, wait staff and housekeeping you couldn't be made feel more welcome or important. Even an impromtu dinner of pizza (not on the menu) and wine on the pool deck after a grueling round in the fog at Torrey Pines was made possibly with just a suggestion.  Sitting around in our hot tub (lush!) robes, sipping wine and enjoying the night will be talked about for years to come! Then upstairs to slide into , what I can only describe as 'liquid gold sheets' , was the icing on the cake! Heaven! Our stay was for 5 days, next time it will be for twice as long. The seashore trail meanders forever and we took great pleasure in watching flora and fauna - the fauna being the hours-old seal pups being nudged to shore by their mamas! Who needs Galapagos when you have La Jolla in February? Every moment of our time at the grand dame La V was special - every meal most delicious that there is no need to venture off the grounds. I will highly recommend the La Valencia to anyone who will listen!!

The staff was amazing! And the location is perfect. It's in the center of La Jolla and is literally steps to the water with views from the pool, their restaurants and most rooms. I stay in 4 and 5 star hotels and this was just as impressive. I'd recommend it to others and would stay here again.

This is our second time (honeymoon and 6th anniversary) to stay here. WONDERFUL and memorable, again. Only problem we encountered was that the elevator upgrade was not finished and we had to walk up two flights of stairs - OK, it was more exercise after walking all day along the magnificent waterfront. Concierge and the parking attendants were helpful  with restaurant suggestions and things to do locally and in San Diego.
