The valet was included and nice to have as parking in La Jolla is a premium. We walked to restaurants every night and the ocean is just two short blocks away. The staff was very nice!

Great stay, hotel, and location. Only critique is that drinking water is not very accessible… I wish they had water in the lobby 24/7, instead we had to buy $4 bottles of water
