“Depends on which building you're in....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

We stayed our first night in the San Diego area at the Glorietta Bay Inn. We found the Inn online and in a SD guide book. We read the review on TA and decided to book a 2 bedroom suite.
The reviews are pretty much right on. If you stay in the original building (mostly 1 bedrooms - suites), you're in for a real treat. We peeked into some of the rooms as they were being cleaned the next morning and agreed we'd prefer the original building if we came back and only needed a 1 bedroom.
The other buildings are fine, but don't have the ambience of the old house. The two bedroom suite we did have was fine for the one night. It was clean and quiet.
The location is great. You can walk to all the restaurants and the beach.

“Beautiful, comfortable inn on Glorietta Bay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

Very charming hotel and property. Friendly and courteous staff. Easy walk to shops, restaurants, beach and parks. Nice views toward Glorietta Bay. No bathtub, but didn't bother me too much. Breakfast was included in my rate, with great coffee, a wide selection of food items, and I would go back just for the waffles with fresh strawberries on Saturday mornings!

“LOVE this hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

This was the second time we stayed at this hotel. Had a lovely suite this time and the pent house about 3 years ago. Rooms were lovely, clean and beautifully decorated. I love the location for its easy access to everything in Coranado as well as a quick ride or ferry to San Diego. The continental breakfast is very nice whether you enjoy it in your room or on the terrace or in a lovely enclosed porch or room. The staff is very nice and most accommodating. As for the parking fee, most cities where parking is at a minimum they charge a parking fee. I do not like it but understand why they have it. Oh yes....the towels are large, soft, and abundant, a feature that I happen to love.

Room Tip: I love being in the main building and have no interest in being anywhere else. Might cost more, but...

“Great Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

My husband and I selected the Sugar Baron Suite for its Bay View. The view is beautiful, especially at night, but unfortunately, it also includes a view of the neighboring rooftop, air conditioners and all. The living space was lovely but the bed was a bit soft for our taste. As we are early risers and enjoy a hot breakfast vs. a continental breakfast we did not take advantage of this offering. The location is ideal, walking distance to the beach and only about eight miles from downtown San Diego. We were aware of the $10/per day parking but were a bit put off by the fact that they charged for local calls to make our own dinner reservations - tacky. Some upgrades to the bathroom would be advisable. Flushing the toilet was followed by a massive gurgling sound from the sink area, thus you do not flush at night in consideration of other guests. There was also a continuous droning sound within the bathroom, fortunately closing the door eliminated the noise. These issues should be addressed by the maintenance staff. Being native Californians and having enjoyed many beautiful ocean view facilities, this site did not meet our expectations.

“Great location, good value!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

Spent one night here in late January. Good rate ($160 with taxes), great location across the street from the Del. I followed the advice of other posters and parked for free on the street rather than paying $10 to park in their lot, but I could easily see how free parking might be difficult to find in the summer. The free continental breakfast was tasty - yogurt, fruit, cereal, pastries. The sheets were very soft which is rare to find in a hotel of this level. My room on the ground floor was a bit noisy, but I just turned on the AC unit fan. I would definitely stay here again.
