I actually had the pleasure of visiting La Jolla in 1987, during a trip to visit family in San Diego. The Grand Colonial is by far one of the better values in all of California…
Whatever you do, I recommend trying to secure a room with an Ocean view. Happy travels…
Never been to La Jola, but I’m considering a trip there next summer, in 2009
Nice place! Sounds good. If I’m in La Jolla, I’ll probably stay in the Grande Colonial.
Nice feature of the baby sitting, its so important for couples who wants to have some privacy away from the children and yet not leaving your kids in your home.
I have spent quite a bit but I have never had the privialge of staying at the Grande Colonial. From the way you describe it I have missed out on something fabulous. Thanks for your insider info and for providing a unbiased review. I am going to have to try it out next time I go.
La Jolla sounds a nice honeymoon place or for family vacation. Hope I can visit that place someday
