Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice, soft towels. Free snacks in room. Our room faced the main street and was a little noisy especially early in the morning.

This hotel is located right next to Lajolla Cove, but the building facilities are a bit old, and the service of the staff is not good. The check-in time is 4 pm, but there are few people to clean the room. Even if you urge them, they will not be able to finish until after 3 pm. But the check-out time is 11 am. The most important thing is that if you have a large suitcase and are not arranged in the room of the small building below, then the distance to bring the suitcase to the room is very long, and 90% of the steps are stairs, and there is not even a ramp. The hotel has several small buildings, the entrances and exits are not clearly marked, and the rooms are in different directions. With a large suitcase, I was already very uncomfortable before I got to the room, and the girls were even more frustrated. The suite room is quite large and you can cook a simple meal. But the facilities are a bit old, the air conditioning system is very noisy, the sound insulation between the upper and lower floors is poor, and the carpet is dirty. Towels and bedding are not bad (this may be in time for replacement). There is a small swimming pool. Anyway, I don’t require public facilities. The price is between 350 and 550 US dollars, which is not worth it. Anyway, don’t choose it if you have a large suitcase. The wheels hit the steps and one of them is directly broken. There are fewer hotel options on Ctrip in this area, but there are actually many small hotels to choose from. It is recommended to check several websites.

We traveled to La Jolla for few days after visiting Disneyland with our 2 kids. The hotel was clean, the beds were comfortable and it was a short walk to see the sea lions on the beach. It is close to several food spots. Valet is quick when you need your car and it has free valet parking included. Our room was quiet and spacious. We did not use the bikes, but it looked like they would be easy to check out to use. All of the staff were very friendly and kind.

Exceptional experience all the way around at Grande Colonial in La Jolla. We reserved the 8 rooms at its "Little Hotel by the Sea" building for the several generations of our family - for a family wedding weekend. The rooms were beautiful, charming and the service was absolutely exceptional. We also had them cater a wedding day lunch in the Garden Courtyard. They were so accommodating and attended to every detail. The Grande Colonial made the wedding weekend so convenient, special & perfect.

An excellent choice for your La Jolla vacation! We had an ocean view suite and the room was very spacious! Huge room and huge bathroom (with plentiful towel supply)! There were three large windows facing the ocean which were so nice to let in the ocean breeze and natural light. It was surprisingly quiet for being in the center of town. We never heard street noise. The location of this hotel is incredible; walking distance to the beach and to many shops, restaurants, and trails. Valet is top notch; they always were friendly, attentive, and helpful. Excellent service all around. Good to know's: shower pressure is low; shower is a walk-in with half glass door (so a litttle breezy and water gets on the floor); decor is a little dated, but not unpleasant; Free snacks and water are replenished daily; unless you want to only stay in the general area, recommend renting a car for trips to Carlsbad, Torrey Pines, San Diego, etc.

Find a different hotel, this hotel was booked months in advance. Imagine my surprise when the day before my reservation the same room was advertised for half the cost. The hotel made the adjustment but then I assume in retaliation put me in a subterranean room across from the employee break room . I had to walk through the laundry room to get there. It was awful. An exit door was next to my room and was not locked. Random people were walking through at all hours of the night. Very unsafe, I would never stay there again.

Loved this little hotel by the beach. Cassie was super accommodating and Vicente too. The only thing is that they Valet is mostly too busy to take you on the golf cart as advertised.
