This was a very disappointing vacation for my family and I. Let's start with our booking... We booked ocean view and did not get that. When we asked to change it everything was booked. Service at check in was horrible! NO ONE knows how to deal with customer service. The restaurant..... well the fish was extremely fishy and I got... more

this hotel, while not new, was perfect if you want location in La Jolla. Above the beach, we had a room with 2 windows overlooking Torry Pines cliffs and the cove. Restaurants, shopping, beaches and a great place to stay in the middle of it. the staff was right up there in helpfulness and alertness. It was a wonderful ,... more

I'll start with the positives: The service was great, the hotel is beautiful, especially the pool and jacuzzi area. (The exterior could definitely use a fresh coat of paint, however.) The grounds are clean and well maintained. The location is very convenient. You could walk right out to the La Jolla Cove or to Prospect Ave where there are many... more

We stayed there during US Open. Was recommended by our colleague who lived in San Diego. Our company made a large advance payment to block rooms 8 months in advance. Hotel refused to give us keys to all the rooms that we paid for - insisted that the individual who stayed at the room had to check in to get... more

I just checked out of the La Valencia after two of the most horrible nights in my life. When I booked my room, I explained that I needed it to be as quiet as possible, given the fact that I would be arriving from a 15+hour flight and with a 9 hour time difference. As I checked in, I had... more

We stayed at the La Jolla while visiting our son who is studing at UCSD. We originally planned to stay near to the Campus but I'm really glad we stayed in La Jolla Cove. There are great cafes, shops and restaraunts - its quite a pretty town. The Hotel is right on the main street, has great views from the... more

My husband and I booked this hotel as we had out of country guests visiting with us and we wanted to take them to the ocean. One of our guests was quite elderly, and I had read in a previous review that someone who was also travelling with an elderly person found La Jolla to be the perfect destination as... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for three nights and we wish it could have been longer. This place is a hidden paradise with lush plants, hidden gardens and sunken hot tub. The pool area is beautiful and the hotel location is tops, close to all shopping and the coves. The service was wonderful, both in the hotel... more

We came to the hotel for a family wedding. The valet service left our vehicle unlocked, allowing thieves to remove valuable items from our vehicle. When we brought this to the attention of the manger, Mr. Featherstone, he insinuated that we were lying. We reported the loss to the police and filed a claim with the hotel. The hotel's insurance... more
