    It was brief stay - just one night which is never enough in coastal California. Check in was easy and the valet/concierge attentive. The hotel lobby was quiet but the bar and restaurant seemed lively. The entire hotel has recently been renovated and looks good. The pool area is small but nice with an unusual round pool. Front desk was efficient and […] pleasant. My only quibble was that my room was in an adjacent build (small hotel by the sea). I was informed I should walk out the front door and turn right and go down the hill. I did but I thought it odd she did not offer to have someone take my bag - it was pretty far carrying luggage - I was fine but other guests maybe not. One plus - front desk had a great 6 mile run printed on a card. One minus - I detest that hotels charge $29 for valet in a lot right beside the hotel - I can park more easily myself than sherpa bags down a hill to my room. My point, the valet is not a service but an excise tax. Annoying and I heard several guests complain about it. Read more

    The Grande Colonial Hotel was an absolutely wonderful experience. I've been to some of the best hotels around the world, but this one just hit me the right way. Great staff, great location, and great rooms. It's a boutique hotel, so make sure that's what you want. That's what I wanted. The location allowed me to walk all around the Cove. The bar & restaurant […] were great. The pool area was fabulous. I loved the fact that the valets and waiters were engaged and fun-loving. Will definitely go back many times. Read more

    I like to point out the positives, as well as the negatives. The good things were, comfort and location. However, the hotel charges 20% for any room delivery, and there is no fridge in the room. Ordering drinks from the pool phone took over 20 minutes for delivery (from a close-by bar), and even then it was over $50 for three Margs (lots of ice - little […] to no Marg). They don't serve pitchers. Valet parking is $25/night - the only option really. Everybody was very nice, but the value was marginal. Little to no ocean view/splinter views. Read more

    Valets were great at the Grand Colonial. They couldn't have been more helpful and gracious. Room amenities were nice with complimentary beverages in the kitchenette. The pull out sofa, however, was extremely uncomfortable to sit on, and the bed was not so comfortable as it was overly soft for me. The room location was very difficult for my 88 year old […] mother, however. Even though we requested a room with ground floor or elevator access for the above mentioned traveler, we were given one in "The Little Hotel," which is a separate building behind the main hotel, 100 yards down a very steep street. After asking for a few rides in the golf cart to get to and from the hotel lobby, we started getting comments from the front desk staff saying they didn't think this service was available. We were quite disappointed they would treat an 88 year old guest with limited mobility this way. Not so grand of the Grande Colonial. For this reason, we would not return. Read more

    Wonderful old historic hotel in perfect La Jolla location walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shopping. We stayed in the garden suites in The Little Hotel behind the main hotel and it was like staying in an art deco apartment. It was updated but also maintained it's historic roots. It was nice having a nice restaurant on location as well […] as having a full kitchen with glasses and cooking utensils to enjoy champagne in the room. I would definitely return. Read more

    We were pleasantly surprised at checkin with an upgrade, giving us a large comfortable room with a great ocean view. Hotel's been around awhile, but in great shape and beautifully tended. Surprisingly large and convenient bathroom for the age!!! Loved having windows that you could actually open to drink in the cool ocean air at nite, tho that did up […] the noise factor when someone dumped glass into the trash every early am. Other than that, hotel was delightfully quiet. Nine-ten is way beyond a hotel restaurant. Breakfasts there were wonderful, though I would have appreciated lower cal offerings (eggwhite omelet with veges, fruit platter with cottage cheese...) and, as early risers, we were happy they were open early and dinner there was simply outstanding! Pool is very pleasant, though a few more lounge chairs would have been nice - several of us had to wait for others to leave to get a seat. Valet service was extremely efficient, and not outrageously priced for La Jolla. This is now our hotel of choice when in the San Diego area. Read more

    We loved the beachy feel of our hotel! It was so cute! The hotel is a hundred years old yet not a single thing felt old or mildewy from the water! I was pleasantly surprised based on trips I've taken to other parts of Cali like Laguna. Our hotel was in the perfect location for beach, shopping, dining and everything else! We walked everywhere. They have […] a car service or golf cart service to transport guests, but we didn't need it. This was my boyfriend's first time to LaJolla and my second and we want to go back every year and stay in our same room again! We stayed in Room 208 which was so perfect! First room out of registration with a view of the courtyard. It was so convenient and cozy. If you don't like hall noise, stay further down the hallway or up a few floors, but we LOVED the convenience of this room! Read more

    Excellent value, and, when it was necessary to change rooms for our convenience, the staff did all they could to take care of us. I would visit Grande Colonial again and again.

    Very nice stay BUT they valet parked my car outside overnight - it was bombarded with bird droppings and they didn't offer to wash it , clean it, compensate me for a car wash elsewhere, discount my valet fee, whatever! I called upon my return home (a 2 hour drive away), and discussed this with them. Eventually the valet charge was removed from my bill. […] For such a nice hotel, that was a big black mark in my book. Read more

    It was awesome! Beautiful hotel within walking distance to the beach and in the heart of La Hills Cove. Parking was reasonable at $22 per day.

    The location of this hotel is great! You're just a quick walk from Seal Beach and La Jolla Coves. There are plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping within walking distance as well. We came to relax and sit on the beach, so we didn't need to drive anywhere. My only complain was that we had to ask for maid service everyday, otherwise our bed […] wouldn't get made and our towels wouldn't get replaced. See if you can find an offer for free parking, which makes the price more reasonable. I also enjoyed the free bottles of water in the room, which you don't get at many other hotels. Another big complaint I have is that the walls are really thin so you can hear people in the other rooms and any music that is going on outside, which was really distracting for our vacation. Finally, make sure you get an accessible room, otherwise prepared to be cramped with no space to put your bags. Read more
