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!!!

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.

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 !

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.

This is the second time I’ve stayed at Grande Colonial and enjoyed my stay both times. The room is clean, robes and slippers are provided, and the best parts are that the snacks/soda/water and valet parking are included! The location is also central and you can truly relax by being able to walk to the stores/restaurants and the beach. The service is also very friendly and down to earth. I would not stay anywhere else when visiting La Jolla.
