The staff was amazing from start to finish. The front desk assisted us with a room upgrade, and the valet even gave us a ride on their golf cart so we could make our dinner reservation on time. We ordered room service for breakfast the night before, and it arrived right on schedule the next morning.
The room itself was great and very comfortable. The only thing I would suggest improving is the toilet fixtures—the handle felt more like something you’d find in a public restroom or bar, which seemed a bit out of place for a luxury resort.

The staff was excellent, the food and bar service were wonderful as well as the location. The hotel is an old and historical, and drastically needs renovations. It needs a Four Seasons or a St Regis to come in and really overhaul the entire structure and bring out its true beauty. Beds were so so

I love classic, iconic hotels. La Valencia is not one of them. The front desk staff was unfriendly and inhospitable. Pillows are hard and lumpy. It felt very dated and lacked the charm I was hoping to find. There is so much potential here and I hope they invest in a renovation soon. The concierge and valet were professional and personable. Not many options in La Jolla but not worth the $$$.
