The staff were very nice and helpful. Excellent, kind service is no longer common when traveling, but not so at La Valencia. We felt comfortable and it was indeed a good value.

The room was comfortable and quiet. The view was spectacular and we loved where we were located in LaJolla-we walked everywhere!
I can't think of anything I didn't like.

View was superb. We were upgraded to a suite with a view which was beautiful. One night there was a very loud TV above but the staff could not get the clients to turn it off. I was given a discount for the disturbance which was very much appreciated. Staff was the best!
Noise from the neighbor.

Loved our stay! Everything was excellent! Noah made sure we had a great room, as it was my husbands birthday. Only negative was going up the stairs to the 9th floor. Elevator was not working. Is this Hotel exempt from ADA?
See above.

This is truly the Grand Dame of Hotels in La Jolla. They "Pink Lady" really impressed me. The views are amazing. The old time elegance of this property is beautifully presented. Finally, the location in La Jolla is central and within walking distance of everything one needs.

The hotel was stylish, classy, and perfectly located.
The room felt moist, for lack of a better word. Not humid, because it wasn't hot or warm. But like you were never completely dry.
