Noisy Weekend Nights

We recently stayed at La Valencia over the weekend. Service was excellent. The room was nice but small. It needed a few maintenance touches like missing bathroom grout, dirty windows and broken window hardware. The pool area was fantastic except for the drunk wedding guests...More

Are there lots of families with kids that stay at this hotel? I’m looking to stay in La Jolla for 5 nights and read mixed reviews on this property. Im trying to get a little rest and relaxation, not be around noisy kids. I also read from several guest reviews that they had a sewage smell in their room. Is this true? I read so many bad reviews but no one ever says, “hey this place sucks but stay at this other hotel that offers etc”. I’ve been searching for weeks on where to stay. I started in SD but cannot stand chain hotels. So I started looking up the coast in La Jolla. Preferably with a beach view. Can anyone help?
