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.

Excellent and beautiful historical property in a great location. We were a bit surprised by the quality and level of service at this lovely boutique hotel, as we would have expected better. Notably regarding responsiveness, follow thru and attitude, mostly at the front desk from what we could tell. Also, they announce up front that they are a pet free hotel, yet we saw dogs in the lobby and even in their upscale restaurant indoors. Otherwise, a wonderful place to stay.

Parking in La Jolla is challenging at best, especially on a holiday weekend. The valet staff at the hotel was top notch, but there is a ridiculous number of spaces blocked off by some of the most popular restaurants and you are forced to pay $20.00 for the valet parking that have commanded those spaces. It is a real rip-off by La Jolla. Also not enough handicap spaces available.

The hotel was in such a great location in La Jolla and valet parking was free! You can just step out your door and walk to amazing shops, restaurants, and see beautiful views of the ocean and all the seals and sea lions. The hotel itself was very nice too! This is the place to stay if you are visiting La Jolla!!!

A really nice hotel in an excellent location. The rooms are quite large and nice, but a bit dated. The bathrooms are updated and roomy as well. Great restaurant/bar in the lobby. The food and service were great. The doormen, restaurant servers and managers were great. Front desk and housekeeping were efficient, but not overly welcoming. Nice pool area too.
