The staff was excellent, the food and bar service were wonderful as well as the location. The hotel is an old and historical, and drastically needs renovations. It needs a Four Seasons or a St Regis to come in and really overhaul the entire structure and bring out its true beauty. Beds were so so

Shame on Hotels.com for posting a picture of a Classic Junior Suite that was nothing at all like the room we were offered. Not good. No view. No balcony. The guy at the front desk finally found us an upgraded villa room that was nice. Finally got into the villa at 5. Lost an hour to refresh before dinner. The stay was pleasant, but the false advertising by Hotels.com is not at all good!!

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.
