Reviews for Grande Colonial La Jolla
Outstanding.
Our birthday celebration at the Grand Colonial Hotel in La Jolla was pure magic. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like royalty—gracious, attentive, and genuinely celebratory. The ocean views from our suite were stunning, and the hotel's historic charm added a timeless elegance. Our banquette was a culinary highlight—featuring artful plates, bold flavors, and perfectly paired wine. Between the cozy ambiance and joyful moments shared with loved ones, it was the kind of experience that lingers long after the candles are blown out. La Jolla’s sunshine was the icing on the cake.

I reached out to the Grande Colonial for help planning an event. Daisy Carrillo from the team was extremely helpful and I really appreciated her thoughtfulness and attention to detail. I would recommend this location to anyone.

Good service, food, rest. Every department has mastered their craft.
Yes, the pillows really were the fluffiest I've ever used. In fact the combination of the bed and pillows are like sleeping on a cloud, being held safe and sound. The bathroom was functional, except the toilet was a bit too close to the sink. Otherwise, great shower, plenty of linens. Lots of mirrors. Big closet. Exceptionally quiet, I did not notice sound from any other guests. The restaurant has very good food, for any meal. The steak is outstanding. The stone fruit salad for lunch is a delight. The staff is ready to help in any way.

Work trip to a destination location!
Though there are many wonderful hotels in this amazing village/beach town, the Grande Colonial is the only hotel I will stay at in La Jolla. Amazing and historic hotel, with world class staff, amenities and centrally located in the village. Front desk, valets, room crews, bartenders, and especially Kim Avant in the front office, absolutely brilliant customer service from all on the Grande Colonial team! Sincere thanks and see you next time!

Excellent Stay
I stayed here for 3 nights in June-July 2025 in a standard room on the 5th floor facing onto Prospect Street. Management pictures online and the positive reviews on TripAdvisor are accurate. This is a lovely, traditional hotel in the best possible location in La Jolla cove/village. Everything fresh, spotless, and well maintained. Note that the pool is no deeper than 3-4 feet and is more for cooling off than swimming. Excellent customer service from the car valet (so fast!) and reception, especially Cassie. Very easy walking to many good restaurants and cafes. For a bit of old La Jolla, try Harry's Coffee Shop (diner) on Girard Avenue, about 3 blocks away.
