My stay at La Valencia was an enchanting experience fueled by the hotel's charming historical character and stunning ocean views. The staff's dedication to customer service truly made me feel valued. However, while the dining options had their moments, the food could use a little more flavor. The pool area provided a serene spot to relax and unwind, but the occasional issues with room keys were a minor inconvenience. Overall, my visit was delightful, and I would definitely return.

This hotel provides a lovely vintage charm, perfectly situated in La Jolla. The ambiance is delightful, with beautiful ocean views that truly enhance the experience. However, I found the rooms quite small, which was a bit of a letdown. The service was impressive overall, but there were a few minor hiccups that could be improved. Dining options were decent but could benefit from more variety to match the excellent surroundings.

I stayed at La Valencia looking forward to a relaxing getaway, and while the ocean views were spectacular, the overall experience was mixed. The staff was genuinely attentive, and the lobby had a unique charm that added to the ambiance. Unfortunately, the rooms, although clean, felt somewhat dated and didn't quite justify the price. The on-site dining was good but lacked a bit in variety.

I had a mixed experience at La Valencia. On the upside, the atmosphere is enchanting and truly historic—perfect for a romantic getaway. However, the quality of the rooms and service did not meet my expectations for the price we paid. While the location is ideal for exploring La Jolla, I felt that the value for money wasn't quite there, especially considering the issues we faced during our stay.

While the rooms are spacious and have lovely amenities, there's a noticeable issue with room maintenance that needs addressing. The dining experience could see improvements, especially for breakfast. Nonetheless, the staff’s dedication to service and the inviting pool area make for a delightful stay overall.
