My husband and I stayed at the Grande Colonial for the occasion of our wedding. It was by far the best hotel experience we have ever had. The level of customer service demonstrated by everyone from the parking attendants to the front desk staff was far superior to any other hotel we have ever been to. We are looking forward... more

We spent three nights at the Grande Colonial as part of a trip to Southern California and enjoyed our stay. It is very close to lots of restaurants and shops, and also a very short walk to the coast for seeing seals and lovely scenery. Not the best place for going to the beach to swim though, and the pool... more

My husband & I stayed a week at The Grande & it was truly a GRAND experience! The lovely room was newly redecorated, spacious & the cool ocean breeze kept us so relaxed & comfortable! The staff was very helpful, friendly & treated us like a Queen & King! The Nine -Ten restaurant was simply the most delicious food we've... more

I was extremely disappointed in my stay here. When I reserve a room with a "full ocean view" I assume that it is also an unobstructed view, not one with a view of an 18-story building as well. Had I known this was the case, I would have reserved a different room and saved over $50. In addition, the room... more

My wife and I chose the Grande Colonial in La Jolla to spend ten days to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Upon check-in they upgraded us to an "ocean-view" room. I suppose the ocean might have been visible if there weren't a huge, ugly condo building obscuring about 80% of the view. Oh, and the room didn't have an easy chair... more

My wife and I stayed at the Grand Colonial for our 7th wedding anniversary. Also accompanying us was our playful 15 month old baby girl. It was the most pleasant experience. We requested for an Ocean View room with a refrigerator, microwave and a DVD player - all of which were waiting for us when we got there. The room... more

I was traveling to La Jolla on business and have stayed here 6 weekends now since October. I have had several different rooms. One of the things I like about the hotel is almost every room is different. There were several of us staying in the hotel and all of us had different rooms. I have stayed on the ocean... more

My husband and I are a young newly married couple. We were looking for a hotel with a view, appropriate lodging and cleanness thats all we wanted, and we all know that unfortunately thats asking for a lot these days with out spending a fortune. From the moment we arrived at the Colonial *the very moment* we were greeted promptly... more

My daughter and I stayed at the Grande last weekend and it was really great. The hotel is beautiful, beds are comfortable and the staff was so pleasant and accomodating. The location of this hotel is good. There were many restauants and stores near the hotel. We stayed in the New Yorker room which was small but we weren't in... more
