“A great getaway”

Reviewed 19 June 2013 NEW

La Valencia is a character filled gem in the heart of this beautiful seaside town. The bellman are very kind and helpful. Front Desk staff was as well. The lobby like the entire building is architecturally beautiful as they decorated like an elegant old Hollywood hotel. Our room was located in a poolside/garden area, nice. Recommend A+

“Stryker AVP meeting”

Reviewed 13 June 2013 NEW

The hotel was gorgeous. I worked with Leo Lopez, who was awesome, he was a pleasure to work with. Our meeting room was perfect along with breakfast and lunch in the garden. Eva was great she was always a text away when I needed anything! I had great feedback from the attendees, and all agreed to come back next June!... More

Dear Stryker Meeting Planner – Ding, Ding, Ding and thank you – you are our 400th review and more 5 star ratings for La V.

Really nice old school hotel. OK there was some remodelling of the lobby and street cafe going on, but it did not spoil the charm of the place. Really helpful guys on valet parking. Friendly and efficient check in. Nice large room, with a large seating area, two big flat screen TVs, wet bar and large bathroom. Room very clean... More

“Quite hideaway, and walk to shop, eat. Very historic and nice.”

Reviewed 9 June 2013

Walk across the street for breakfast and enjoy the pool among the lush garden area. Small cozy bar area inside with live entertainment that was excellent. Very good place for a romantic weekend with your spouse. This is an historic site and is vintage.

Dear Hideaway – I am so pleased that La V was the ideal escape and hideaway for your romantic weekend. Fresh Vintage and Cool Classic; La V offers some very special ambiance that simply cannot be replicated. You are right, we do have a great variety of room and suite types – there is something for everyone so please let... More

“Nice but overpriced”

Reviewed 2 June 2013

Keep in mind I would normally spend $300 or less per night for a room. Usually $250 on the average, so $401.00 was a splurge. But it was my anniversary and the hotel location was where we wanted to be so I booked it. I haven't been to La Jolla since I was a kid and my husband hadn't been... More

“Lovely hotel, great location”

Had a very pleasant stay here. Construction was going on and for some reason there was a lot of noise above my room at 11:00 pm. But everyone was very nice and the location can't be beat...right next to La Jolla cove and all the shops and restaurants. Plus, nice to be a guest at a historic landmark. Would definitely... More
