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 hotelâ€(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.

This place got good reviews on Trip Adviser so when I needed to drive down from Ventura to help my daughter move into UCSD I stayed here. Overall the service is wonderful but the property (or at least the room i stayed in) was dirty, dated, & well, disappointing. Pros: great location by the cove/short walk to the beach and plenty of nearby shopping and dining. Cons: room was dirty-the coffee maker had old moldy water in it and old coffee grinds on every surface. The wallpaper was literally peeling off the wall above my bed & the old drop ceiling showered dust on my clothes every time I closed the door. Also, the toiletry boxes (shoe rag, comb, etc) were empty.

I have been staying at the Grande Colonial for about 13 years and it never disappoints. The rooms are always very clean and comfortable. The hotel is very well maintained. The location is great, in the heart of the village and only a couple of blocks to the ocean.

Fabulous boutique hotel in downtown La Jolla. The staff were very helpful and accommodating and the hotel itself was charming! We LOVED our stay!

B******t resort charge of $45.00 for a place that doesn't have an on-site gym. Supposedly it included parking, but I didn't have a car. Just a cowardly way to leach an extra chunk out of my wallet.
