Grande Colonial Hotel

Hotel is historical with beautiful moldings. Our 1st night was extremely noisy. We booked a King bedroom with ocean view…if you looked through buildings…not impressed. The room was awkwardly designed and right over pool where they had an event until after 12:30. Around 6:00 am the staff was cleaning up. The noise continued all day. After addressing the front desk they gave us a very nice room this time with an ocean view but took them most of the day before we actually were moved. The valets couldn’t be nicer. I don’t usually complain but not sure I would go back, kind of left me disappointed.

Great hotel in the center of La jolla worth ocean views

What a fabulous hotel! Right in the middle of everything! You walk out the front door and you go down the hill to the ocean or to the right or left there are all the coffee houses, restaurants and boutiques. So beautiful and clean and comfy and I will be back!

My view was very nice and the room is well appointed. I loved having windows that actually opened so I could enjoy the ocean breeze.

Very nice arrival party ,easy check in and fantastic room with all services included.Excellent location to enjoy La Jolla

A great location for sightseeing or shopping.

we had an amazing stay at your hotel, we loved the smallness feel and the ease of getting around. The staff were super friendly! We have never stayed at a hotel that offered free snacks and water! That was an added bonus. The pool was clean and we loved hanging out there. We also got an amazing sunset right from our 4th floor. We will be coming back!

Great

Wonderful hotel so close to everything. We walked around to dinner and lunch every day. The staff was great, friendly and helpful. we really enjoyed the stay and would stay here again.

Fantastic customer service. Very convenient location.

We have been returning here for a long weekend each summer for the past few years. The hotel is historic (i.e. old) and is respectably maintained given its age. However, for the rates that are charged the state of the property could and should be better. Furniture fabrics are worn, cleanliness is ok but not great, stained towels and bedding, threadbare robes, etc. Daily housekeeping was late to arrive and minimal. The hotel is rated as a AAA 4 diamond but that was not our experience; more like a 3 star at this point. It could definitely benefit from some cosmetic updating. Bar and 9-10 restaurant are very good for dinner. Location is unbeatable for downtown La Jolla and we hope to return after rooms undergo a much needed renovation.

It’s an excellent choice in LaJolla plus an excellent restaurant. Discreet and quiet. Not a lot of facilities.

Great room, terrific food in the restaurant, great location

Great location and friendly staff.

The staff at Grande Colonial was ultra friendly and willing to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The hotel was well maintained, clean, and easy access to the beach and restaurants. The only request would be to have more water fountains for guests to fill up their bottles during their stay. There was one water pitcher for everyone's use at the lobby, which was convenient. We enjoyed the use of Cruiser Bikes and the option of electric bikes, as needed. Thank you very much for a very nice week in La Jolla, California.

We stayed for a few nights and loved staying at the property for it’s wonderful staff, terrific location , beautiful views, lovely feeling fireplace in the lobby and the great breakfasts and coffee.
The Colonial is an older style hotel. We enjoyed a great comfy bed and pillows and being in the heart of La Jolla near to the beach and contemporary art museum and the shopping. We also enjoyed The bar downstairs which is very entertaining in the evening . Thank you to the Grand Colonial for making our short stay a marvelous one . We will be back !

Very friendly, helpful, free parking and snacks in the room. Our original room was a little loud as deliveries were being made in the morning and they switched our room immediately. Also have items for the beach (umbrellas, chairs, etc.). Would definite go back ! Restaurant was excellent as well as was the location.

Very nice, well preserved old style hotel near everything on La Jolla Cove. Great staff. Oceanview rooms, but not right on water. Highly recommend!

Staff was friendly and beds were comfortable.
