“Great Coronado getaway”

My wife and I recently stayed at Glorietta for a post-Christmas vacation and had a great time on Coronado.
We had an early flight from Seattle and were very surprised that our room was ready for check-in at 11AM. We were expecting to leave our bags at the desk and head out for the day. Instead we settled in and had a full day of relaxation.
Employees were friendly from the front desk to maintenance. And we enjoyed the breakfast. The fare was getting a little monotonous by the third morning but sitting on the patio in the sun with good coffee was a plus.
Our room facing the pool was clean and comfortable. Price was OK. The only complaint was noise transmitted through the patio and entry doors due to single pane glass and lack of seals. However we slept fitfully with earplugs.
All in all, we had a relaxing time due in part to our stay at the Glorietta.

“Excellent choice for Family or Couples”

Glorietta Bay Inn

I promised my self to write a review for this hotel. It was on Thanksgiving, we drove from Phoenix to Coronado. i stayed in this hotel for a night. I stayed in a deluxe room with 2 big beds , with my husband, my 2 mos old daughter and my mom.
Even the great thing was started from making a reservation. I get a deluxe room for a standard room price. Wow, the different is about $50. I got the early check in time(this is very helpful especially if you have a baby that need to rest for a long drivetime). The staffs were very customer oriented (Raj) and warm. The lady who took my call to ask for early check in, still remember my voice when i checked in!! Great room, great amenities, very clean and very comfortable. The beds were snugly fit to our restless body..Maybe it was the luckiest time for us, coz we get a beautiful room with good view (in front of the pool), in the 1st floor, near vending machine,and near lobby. so, it was very comfortable for us.. The hotel just near the beach, the breakfast were great and free!! (never had the breakfast like that for a room price like us). We had breakfast in the mansion's lobby, it was very memorable, i still remember cute birds who stared at us when we had breakfast that morning...i recommend this hotel, and absolutely will comeback again..check out my candid picture of our room!!

“Excellent for families”

Glorietta Bay Inn

2/2 found this review helpful

My family of 4 stayed at the Glorietta Bay Inn over Thanksgiving holiday. We booked a one bedroom suite which was perfect for us. There was one bedroom in the back of the room and then a sitting room with a convertible sofa in the front. The rooms were connected by a long hall and the bedroom had a door which made it very easy to put the kids to sleep early and not worry about waking them up when you moved around. The sofa bed was fine for our 2 boys (ages 3 & 6) but would not have been practical for much older children or adults. There were 2 bathrooms - one with a tub and one with a shower. Neither were big but they were functional. There were tvs in both rooms and a small fridge and microwave in the front room.

The hotel continental breakfast was fine for us - cereal, muffins and other pastries, yogurt, fruit, coffee, juice. There was no hot food but a microwave & toaster if you wanted to heat things up. We ate there every morning.

The hotel service was excellent! One morning I requested extra towels to be sent "sometime that day, no rush" and they appeared in less than 5 minutes. The grounds were very well kept and the location was great. The hotel is directly across from the Hotel del Coronado - easy walking distance to their beach, shops and restaurants. Also easy walking distance to the restaurants and shops in Coronado and only about a 10 minute drive to downtown San Diego.

I would highly recommend this hotel!

Charming hotel. Nice breakfast area. Attentive front desk staff. Within blocks of nice restaurants and the beach. They even mailed my postcards for free! My only complaint is the low lighting in our room.

“Great Hotel!”

Glorietta Bay Inn

4 of 5 stars
Camp Pendleton, CA
Oct 25, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

During the wild fires here in southern california we left camp pendleton because we felt the fires were too close to our houses on base for us to be comfortable. We then headed to the naval base down here and they being full, directed us to this hotel (among others on a list) as other options.

We checked in at 6AM (we left base at 4am due to the fires) they gave us the military rate which was $99 (down from 160 normaly) and were very nice and made sure that if we needed anything - to let them know.

The rooms are great..,. not flashy but nicely done still, the bathroom was nice and big. Everything was clean and had a very nice atmosphere. The building is beautiful and the rooms are clean and the beds were heaven! Im seriously going to try to find out what kind of beds these are so i can buy one of these matresses for our home.

All in all we were very happy to find this place and very happy with the level of service we recieved here.

When we were having problems with the internet wireless router they had, the gentleman in charge of it even gave us his router to use for our stay!

Both myself and the other person i evac'd with decided we would bring our spouses back here with us when they join us on base (mines deployed, theirs is in another state for a little bit longer) we think its a perfect potential romantic weekend getaway. We will definately stay here again.
