While walking around the property, there are several areas that need maintenance attention really bad even our room

Gorgeous property with amazing ocean views and great pool. We spent ~3 days at the pool. Food was good and we’d love to stay again.

Beautiful historic yet updated rooms in the middle of La Jolla. Guest services all top notch during our stay: Check in with Giulianna, reservations made through concierge Ana, our bellhop Christian and Cindy with housekeeping…all above and beyond. Daily pool lunch and drinks with Mike taking great care of us. The sunset views from the bar lounge can’t be beat. It was my 2nd time staying here and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

The hotel lobby and property are lovely, and the location is fantastic. However, the vintage rooms are quite small and basic. Our ocean view room (#1015) featured a Juliet balcony (a $50/night upcharge), but to actually see the ocean, you had to step outside; otherwise, you’re left staring at the roof and an industrial air conditioning unit from the bed. The pool is small, and due to the high number of guests, lounge chairs got reserved by zealous families eager to stake their claims seemingly at dawn. A delightful surprise was the opportunity to feed the numerous seagulls that frequent the roof—perhaps the hotel should be renamed "The Jonathan" in their honor. Ultimately, while the location is a standout feature, the overall experience doesn't quite justify the price.

Only one caveat, ocean room was a truncated side view as opposed to full panoramic. Otherwise incredibly friendly and helpful staff, free transportation within a mile and great bar and restaurant.

Lovely historical property. Oasis next to Scripps park.

Advanced arrangements made with the property for 60th birthday + 30th anniversary + visiting 1st grandchild + iPrefer all in one visit yielded…nothing. Nothing any guest with no special events couldn’t get. Wasn’t expecting anything but still surprised they did nothing. The property is comfortable but ridiculously overpriced-ocean view, etc. all considered. Service was generally friendly, though we did walk out of the Sala room after being ignored for 30 minutes. Won’t return.

From the time you pull up to the property the staff is doing everything they can to make sure you have the most unbelievable experience. Greeted by valet, bag check, seamless check in, complimentary champagne, your vacation begins the moment you step onto the meticulously kept timeless property.

Lovely hotel, just wish the cocktail lounge was a little larger. Maybe different types of seating would help.

Amazing views and very relaxing atmosphere. However, we had an issue related to AC not functioning in the room the first night and needed to be fixed which they have addressed later. The other thing, you have to ask for everything you normally expect in a hotel and that includes small fridge/cooler etc..

A beautiful, iconic property. Great staff. Perfect location for a La Jolla weekend… can walk everywhere in minutes. Comfortable, quiet and classy! Enjoyed my stay and will be returning soon!

Beautiful views and charming grounds. We love staying here. Friendly staff. Easy beach access. Right in the middle of town so walking distance to shops and food.

The Valencia is one of a dying breed of hotels with class and elegance. It’s like stepping back in time to an age long gone by. Having said this, our room had all the consciences we expect in a modern hotel. Our room was spacious and well appointed. The bathroom was also newly updated. We especially enjoyed our time around the beautiful pool. Finally, the location of the Valencia allowed us to park our car for our whole stay. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to in La Jolla

Only valet parking. Extremely busy during the weekend. Beautiful spot overlooking the ocean. The hotel was a bit dated inside.
