While the breakfast at the Nine-Ten restaurant was delightful, offering quality dishes, I did find a couple of amenities needed more attention. Overall, I can't wait to return!

The Grande Colonial is a stunning hotel with a prime location in La Jolla, offering easy access to beautiful beaches and various attractions. The rooms are beautifully appointed and comfortable, with some even featuring ocean views. While the dining options are excellent, with a remarkable breakfast selection, I do think there's room for improvement in maintaining the accessibility features in some rooms. Additionally, the heated pool is a definite highlight, making it perfect for a swim regardless of the weather.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is positioned perfectly in La Jolla, close to both the beach and numerous dining options. The ocean views from my room were stunning, but the thin walls made it challenging to get a good night's sleep with noisy neighbors. The staff were incredibly attentive and responsive to all my needs, which greatly elevated my experience. Overall, it was a fantastic trip with some minor noise issues.
