Stayed here for a conference at a $280/night rate (normal full-fare rate $470/night in the room I was in). This place has just undergone a much touted $140 Million renovation... believe me, this money must have been spent on advertising rather than on property improvements!! My room was musty, and had an A/C that barely worked. The carpet was dank-smelling, and my bathroom fixtures actually had green mold growing on then. EWWWWW! Two calls to guest services failed to resolve this over my three-day stay. I had asked for a room near the conference center since I was on crutches, but was put in the back 40 acres, where the bellman actually drove me on a golf cart) through a construction site and past the dumpsters on the way to my room, practically as far as humanly possible from where I wanted to be. A call to the front desk resulted in no chage (no other rooms were available) and others in my group did not even get access to a room until well after dinner, despite the 4 o'clock check in time they advertise. I had another opportunity to stay here this week, and opted for the Grand Pacific Palisades, a few miles away, but with an ocean view and about half the price for a nicer, newer room. If you stay at La Costa for the full-fare rate, make sure they put at least $400 cash back in your room every night, or you are overpaying!
Pros: Nice Spa, but pricey
Cons: Musty and mildewed; poorly functioning equipment; non-responsive customer service
