The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, including the front desk, bellmen, valets and those people staffing the meeting room where our seminar was. Amenities in the seminar room were excellent as well. Our double room with ocean view was very spacious, clean and comfortable, including excellent blackout curtains for sleeping in. The room did include a refrigerator which was not mentioned on their website and which was a welcome feature. would recommend for a La Jolla stay.

Very good restaurant and the service was excellent. Had delicious breakfast and brunches. Charming lobby and lift and old photos lining the corridors. hotel staff very nice. Slightly blocked but nonetheless reasonable view of the ocean and sunset. Well located for shopping and beach. wonderful walk down to the sea front teeming with birds and seals and sea lions. Good sized bedroom.

inner garden/pool area was a bit disappointing. Photos don’t reveal that there are high buildings between the hotel and the beach. Bathroom not entirely cleaned.

Everything! Great location, wonderful front desk staff and valets. Love having a golf cart take us go dinner. Terrific view. Delicious snacks and water provided daily.

A little pricey.

We loved dining at the 910! Our first room had a bed in it that needs to be replaced, #136. We moved the next day to room #133 thanks to the excellent help from Cassandra. Thank you! The fireplace & coffee pot were not working in this room. As you leave the bathroom to go into the kitchenette there is a sharp object that catches on a foot as you leave the bathroom. It is very sharp & needs to be addressed. Overall we had a lovely stay. Your staff is amazing! Thank you so much!!!!

The staff were friendly. Our room was beautiful

We were disappointed that the restaurant was closed on Monday and Tuesday. We needed to leave to have breakfast and lunch out. The bar not being open met you could not have a cocktail as the bar was not open. No reduced room change on these days

Location was excellent and staff were extremely helpful and polite. Eager to help. Valet and Bell support was fast and friendly. Front desk staff helped with a request for much needed earlier check in without added cost.

Accessibility could be a struggle for mobility limited guests for some rooms and so if stairs are an issue, clients best indicate needs before arrival.

Excellent location in very historic hotel. Walk to the beach and see tide pools, sea lions, and breathtaking sunsets. Great view of the ocean and pool from the suite we booked on the fifth floor. King bed and sleeper sofa were both comfortable. Lobby is charming and pool area is relaxing - just big enough to never feel too crowded. Most outstanding is the service - five stars - from valet to front desk to housekeeping. Nine ten restaurant is maybe the best restaurant in La Jolla. We enjoyed it twice - once for breakfast and once for dinner. Don't hesitate to book this hotel with kids - they have beach toys, boogie boards, and umbrellas available at no extra cost - and La Jolla's famous children's pool is only blocks away for shallow ocean time (when the seals aren't there). Best of all, the Grande Colonial accomodated moving our reservations when we had to postpone the trip a month due to Covid. Not sure you can find a better hotel or more attentive staff in La Jolla. This hotel gets everything right without ever looking like its anything out of the ordinary. Ten of ten would recommend booking again.

Lobby, front desk,, and hallways are not air conditioned. Probably not an issue 90% of the time, but we stayed during a heat wave. Room was plenty cool at least.

The Hotel was iconic and grand just as its namesake. Nice room, comfortable bed. Isabel helped us get a room next to our kids room which was so important. The valet guys were super friendly and always courteous.

There was a bad odor coming from the shower area, like a body odor smell which was unpleasant. House keeping doesn’t come clean the room unless you ask for it.

Amazing location. Staff were very friendly.

Just need some updates. My room had a small kitchen, but the sink and utensils were old. Everything looked very old.

We loved this refurbished historic hotel, its lovely staff, luxury amenities, incredible restaurant, and darling little pool. I was visiting with my 5 yr old daughter and we had an absolute blast walking to the beach, playing in the pool, and exploring La Jolla from the hotel's central location. The front desk crew did a great job directing us and loaning out beach gear (chairs, towels, sand toys etc) and making us feel very welcome. We'd love to come back!
