La Jolla is an upscale beachfront community steeped in tradition, located just north of downtown San Diego. Overlooking the waterfront is the award-winning Grande Colonial, a historic landmark property boasting commanding views of the California coastline. Newly-renovated rooms and suites offers a variety of amenities, all with extraordinary comfort. As for location, you are centrally located - the hotel(TM)s village location allows you to stroll to the many shops, sidewalk cafés, and galleries that line the streets. Just down the hill is the glistening shoreline and sandy beaches.

If you’re looking for a luxury hotel with first class service… look elsewhere. They have not trained the staff as you would expect to experience at a nice hotel. Room was okay but not very clean. There is no turndown service although they advertise it in the book in the room. Had to ask several times for robes that were supposed to be in the room as well. They advertise the “Loft” on the rooftop but then only allow guests staying in a particular section of the hotel to use it. They have a say “no” culture instead of a “yes” culture. Feels like a lower class hotel.

We have worked with the Nine Ten team for multiple business dinners. The team is top notch with communication, service, and assistance. Looking forward to more events in the future!

Grande Colonial is a gem in La Jolla. It is as described, a European style hotel with great quality, good value and outstanding service. The rooms are exceptionally clean, and design features are well thought throughout. Though an historic hotel, maintenance is up to date. For a relaxing stay where you can unwind and enjoy your downtime I would recommend Grand Colonial to anyone. It has the quality of a 5-star hotel at 4-start prices.
