I stayed in one of their newer rooms and paid a lot. I had a horrible time here from start to finish, from rude person making my appointment to arrogant hostesses to offensive check-out. I don't ask for a lot. You can check my other reviews. IMO, this place sucks and I can't believe I paid so much to be... more

Stayed there for four nights, and wish we could stay there a lot longer. Perfect location, in the center of the village and right on La Jolla Cove. Very short walk down the hill to the most magnificant shoreline you could hope for. Room was very well maintained, and extremely comfortable. Bathroom was huge and very well decorated. Very friendly... more

I was here for a 4 day conference. Lovely grande dame hotel right smack in downtown La Jolla (San Diego's Beverly Hills, as it were). Short walk to the ocean, which I could see from my window. The hotel has several corner-cutting drawbacks, however, which preclude any higher grade, in my opinion: 1) there is no gym, which is inexcusable... more

The stay was everything that I requested for a wonderful vacation. The value was tremendous and the surroundings were opulent. Honestly I could not have expected anything more! more

My wife and I booked a last minute get away to San Diego. We wanted to stay in La Jolla and not drive much. I booked with the hotel directly. They offerred the "economic recovery package", which included a junior suite with ocean view, two nights, and a $100 dining credit in the 9-10 restaurant. We ate there the first... more

After trying to find the perfect hotel for my husband and I to celebrate our 24th anniversary, I found the Grande Colonial online. I called the hotel directly, explaining that we are landlocked in the Oklahoma panhandle, and a wonderful room with an ocean view was especially important to us. When the taxi dropped us off, we could immediately tell... more

Some of our family got together for my daughter's beach wedding and rented three rooms at the Grande Colonial. We all made a long weekend of it and everyone very much enjoyed our stay. The friendliness of the hotel staff is outstanding and the rooms are large, clean and comfortable. This hotel is also within easy walking distance to the... more

My husband and I arrived at the hotel to discover we had been upgraded to a room with an ocean view - we were in heaven! We kept the windows open all night falling asleep to the waves crashing on the beach . . . We had breakfast in bed every morning and it was great - tasted fanastic and... more

We stayed here for two nights in May 2009. We had a suite in the Little Hotel By The Sea part of the hotel and were taken there in a golf buggy! Our room was amazing. The bedroom was large and stylish and clean. The bathroom was a little small but well stocked and the shower was lovely. The lounge... more
