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.

Ridiculously overpriced
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.

Nice Ocean View
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..

Class and Elegance!
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
