Grande Colonial Hotel

Imagine waking up to the sounds of the ocean roaring and falling asleep to the fresh ocean breeze after a walk along shore. Heaven. The Grande Colonial rooms are beautiful and relaxing, the location is perfectly located to walk to shops and restaurants and to the beach, the staff is passionate and friendly and the vibe is perfect for couples or a girls weekend. This is a 5-star experience. They treat you like a famous family member, calling you by name and asking how your day went when you return. I can't imagine staying any place else when I visit La Jolla. (I could live here if I could afford it.) I have been staying here for more than a decade -- and it has never disappointed me. I have stayed in nearly every wing, and have my favorite rooms! My favorite memories have been made with family and friends here!

I have never have been tested as nice at any hotel as I did here. I stayed in hotels in the states and overseas. If I come back to San Diego, I will be staying at the Grande Colonial. Hopefully management realizes the quality of their staff, appreciates their efforts and retains them. Rooms are clean and spacious. Many of amenities offered as well.

We were on the top floor. View was really good. Would have preferred the other side of the hotel so we could have seen the sunset and not been above the dumpsters and the morning noise. Nice old Victorian vibe. Bed was bad or worse. Bathroom was small. Great location. It was fine, the people were amazing, expected more of the room for the price.
