The location of this hotel was fantastic and what a joy it was to sleep with the window open and hear the ocean. We had a 2 king bed ocean view room. The hotel itself is a little older but has plenty of character. The beds are extremely comfortable but the shower presure isnt perhaps the best. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The pool isnt huge but is a nice place to sit. We didn't eat in the restaurant because there are so many options near by. If you can get a decent deal on price this hotel is a great option.

Enjoying La Jolla

We enjoyed staying at the Grande Colonial for 3 nights. Our room was spacious, clean, had water bottles, coffee and complimentary snacks. We had an ocean view room with an actual ocean view. The location was convenient to all of our activities. The valet parking was a big plus as well. The entire staff was extremelly responsive and friendly. We will definitely return.
