Not a luxury experience

We were excited about staying at LaValencia based on previous experience with historic luxury resort hotels. However… The staff was particularly rude from the reception to check out. One particular example—my husband asked what kind of bagel was provided on the lox plate and the waiter said Everything, like it says in the menu. Plus, it was a very bad bagel Next, the bathroom could not have been any smaller its door had peeling paint Be forewarned that it is a wedding factory and the events take over everything, especially the pool, where there was no space in the pool and certainly no place to sit

The property is nearly 100 yrs old. So”as new” isn’t expected. But the room was very tired, and dinged up, AC worked poorly and there was a definite mildew smell. The above ground floors 7+ are better. We had stayed here about 10 years ago. The location is very convenient to La Jolla; the staff was helpful with occasional shuttle transportation and the Concierge was wonderful to work with. The restaurants are convenient but the quality is inferior to the costs.

Excellent views and style.

There is lots of beauty and style in this hotel: we love the general vibe, architecture and the staff is awesome. However, the sleep was a challenge-despite our request of getting a quiet room. The first room was away from any elevator or party noise, but because it felt like an attic-had incredible noise at night from all the birds sitting on the roof. The second room was just over the bar so the boomy base sounds were shaking the walls throughs the day. No hope for a nap after the first sleepless night. The AC units in rooms are extremely loud when they turn on and off: it is like you basically have to wake up every time they start. So-bring your "ear protection" (not the ear plugs-but some serious ear protection) and you will be fine. For those who are not sensitive to noise-it is an awesome hotel. Just don't get your hopes too high when it comes to sleep and rest. Or maybe there is some quiet room somewhere still?

This property needs a major facelift. I paid $800+ for a last minute weekend reservation and was first given a room that smelled strongly of mildew. I went up and switched rooms and then was given a room where the AC didn’t work and the toilet would barely flush. Didn’t discover all this until the middle of the night as I arrived late and went right to bed. The room was 74 degrees all night leading to a subpar night of sleep. I am done giving this hotel chances.
