It was a great central location walkable to everything couple blocks from the ocean, but you did get fuse. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. It’s a historic building so it was a little older and a small pool, but it was plenty of space to take a dip on a hot day.
My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful stay! The hotel was gorgeous, and the location was perfect, with stunning ocean views. The staff was truly exceptional and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of having beach chairs and umbrellas ready for us on our way out to the beach.
Breakfast was outstanding, and every detail of our stay exceeded our expectations. We felt so welcomed and well taken care of from beginning to end. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this beautiful hotel! ❤️🌊
The whole experience for me staying at that hotel was wonderful! I was so relaxed and rested by the time I left. TheMichilien distinguished restaurant meal was the best of a lifetime. We plan to go back for our anniversary!
What a beautiful property, we were pleasantly surprised on the perfect location, helpful and friendly staff and uber clean and upgraded room. We will be back
A beautiful hotel in the center of lovely La Jolla. Rooms were comfortably sized and bed very comfy. Valet was generally excellent though there was one time we really needed the car quickly and I could not find the valet for 10-15 mins.
The staff was fantastic and very accommodating. The location is so central to La Jolla and makes for an excellent base of operations when exploring the greater San Diego area. The staff is also super knowledgeable about the area and willingly makes recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and things to do.
Everything seemed well kept.
The hotel is so lovely and so are the people working there. So very kind, helpful and friendly! I’ve been to La Jolla a lot over the years, but this is by far my favorite place I’ve stayed. I definitely will be coming back and you cannot beat the location!! 5 stars all around!
We enjoyed our stay at the Colonial. From valet at check in to valet at check out everyone was very helpful. E-bikes for an hour included. Coffee in the mornings provided. Rooms were comfortable and beds were great. Minibar snacks and soft drinks included and refreshed when requested. Housekeeping and grounds keepers friendly. Restaurant was delish for dinner and half price wine bottles on Wednesdays curated by sommelier Chris was a real pleasure. Pool was great. (A hot tub would make it better). Great central location. Would stay here again.
