La Jolla Hotel Guide - Pet Friendly Hotels in La Jolla, California

"This place was okay. Nothing amazing or terrible. The place is being renovated so there was painting etc going on. Overall the staff was very kind and helpful.. except for one person that wasn’t helpful at all. Our room was a newly renovated room..but it needed some work still. The phone didn’t work, the shower was backing up, and there were ants everywhere. With that being said, the bed was comfy, the walk to the beach was easy, and breakfast was decent. It was within walking distance of some tasty food so that was nice. I didn’t take advantage of the pool or free parking but those were perks as well."

"The breakfast staff was lovely, they were always kind with my kids, love all the gardens and its very well located. "

"This hotel is very unique and once you enter it and are on the grounds, you feel like you could be in Paris, Barcelona, side streets of London. It is such a little boutique, wonderful spot with great service and the difference between all those other places is la Valencia has unbelievable ocean views. Our room was Via Eleven and it was marvelous spotless, and a very good size with a beautiful patio overlooking the park in the ocean. The concierge and the front desk staff were great. We were loved the valet guys and they made us laugh so we felt right at home. I would definitely recommend this hotel. "

"A couple of days before my departure, I noticed a foul smell coming from the bathroom sink. I reported it to the front desk. I was told that the engineering staff would address the problem; whether they did, the stench did not go away. When I checked in, I was told that there were various discount packages for food consumed at the hotel. The pricing of those packages was anything but transparent. The receptionist offered to email me a sample menu, which she thought might shed some light on the discounts being offered. I never received it. The hotel is labyrinthine. The designer or designers should have never been allowed to practice architecture. The carpets inside my room and on the hallways were dirty. As a saying in German has it, I stayed at the Estancia La Jolla three times: the first time, the last time, and one time too many."
