The location could not be better ... In the center of La Jolla within walking distance to restaurants, shops, the beach and within easy driving (Uber) distance to downtown San Diego and the surrounding golf courses and the airport. The hotel staff is very pleasant and accommodating.

Thank you so much for your feedback and for choosing our hotel.

5 out of 5
Very friendly and professional staff. Arrived early and requested early check-in but our room wasn’t ready. The staff felt bad that they couldn’t accommodate our request for early check-in and responded by going out of their way to see that we remained comfortable while positioned in their lobby while Front Desk staff awaited confirmation from hotel housekeeping that our room was ready for us to occupy. The staff at this hotel are collectively, a class act!

Lovely Hotel; Excellent Location

Pros: The hotel is beautifully decorated and our room was spacious and pretty.
Cons: Room was directly over the hotel's service alley. Restaurant delivery truck backed in and started unloading directly below our room at 5:06 am.
Location: Lots of fun shops, many catering to tourists nearby. Close to "Children's Pool" to see the sea lions.
I stayed one night while in town with my two children while we visited La Jolla.

Dear Catherine: I appreciate very much your candid feedback about your recent stay with us. I'm happy you enjoyed your accommodations and our location. But I am sorry about some of the noise issues you experienced. While I do realize that you have other choices of where to stay here in La Jolla, I hope you will give us another opportunity the next time you visit the area. I am confident we can find you a room in a quieter section of the hotel. Sincerely, Terrence Underwood, General Manager

Great location with amazing views!!

This hotel is an absolutely beautiful historic property in a wonderful location. Our room was smaller than we are used to, but the view and the fact that the windows open up to let in the ocean breeze more than makes up for it. We were a few blocks from the ocean and the seals (a must see!). There are numerous shops and restaurants within walking distance. In addition, the major sites in San Diego were a short drive away. It was nice to spend the day downtown and then return to our quiet retreat in La Jolla. Customer service was great! Thanks to all of the valet guys who assisted us everyday - not only with our car, but with beach chairs, etc to take to the beach for the day. And for asking our son every afternoon about his experience that day - he loved telling his stories to them.

European charm by the beach!

Pros: Close restaurants
My husband and I returned to this hotel for our anniversary. We had our wedding here 15 years ago. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay meaningful. Our suite was huge and had a view of the ocean. However, the standard room we initially saw was quite small. The hotel is beautifully decorated and everyone is helpful and friendly.

Lovely Historic Hotel!

The Grande Colonial is a lovely historic hotel with a great location in heart of the Village of La Jolla. Walking distance to many shops, gallerys and restaurants. My room was spacious and cleaan, beautifully decorated, with a very comfortable king bed. It suited my needs and I would definitely stay here again.
