"The pool is lovely with a stunning view of the ocean."
"The view from the pool and our room was also amazing as you could see the ocean (even though we did not have an ocean view room)."
"My favorite feature was having a partial view of the ocean and being able to hear the sounds of the surf and the seagulls - despite having one of the cheaper rooms on offer."

I enjoyed the stunning ocean views from the terrace, which definitely enhanced my stay. but I found the service lacking at times. Though the hotel has a charming historical character, my room was surprisingly small and in need of some updates. Dining was a mixed experience, with delicious on-site options overshadowed by some service challenges.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at La Valencia Hotel. The location is absolutely stunning, with beautiful ocean views and convenient access to shops and restaurants. However, the room I first stayed in felt dated and had a musty odor, which was particularly troubling for my family member with asthma.
Rooms

The first room was spacious but badly in need of renovation and quite claustrophobic. The second room was much better, well-decorated, and had a lovely view.

My stay at La Valencia Hotel was a mixed bag. While I loved the historic charm and beautiful ocean views, I faced several inconveniences that overshadowed the experience. A lack of valet service and inconsistent housekeeping meant I was often left to manage on my own. Plus, the high prices for food and drinks felt unwarranted given the quality.

I found the room to be a bit cramped, especially for the price. Although it had a nice ocean view, it was mostly just a small patch from the window. The furnishings could use some refreshing as well.

Dining options varied from great to disappointing. I had a salad for lunch that was poorly made and overpriced, yet the drinks by the pool were enjoyable if also expensive.
Facilities

The pool area had a lovely atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. However, the overall facilities, like room service, felt lacking compared to what I would expect for the price.
