My husband and I stayed here for a week in March for a conference. We had a standard king room in the back of the hotel. It was a quiet room and we never had a problem with noise during the stay. The bed was comfy and we enjoyed having the mini fridge in the room. The breakfast was average in the morning. Cereals, fruit, bread, pastries, and beverages. The cookies and lemonade in the afternoons was a nice touch. We used the jacuzzi during the stay and had no problems. Overall we had a nice stay except for two issues. Housekeeping wasn't as thorough as I would of liked (a couple days they didn't vacuum the room among other things). We could not get the wired internet to work in our room, even after having somebody from the hotel take a look at it. The only area with an adequate wireless signal was the lobby/library. As we were here on business, this was quite a drawback to the experience.

My husband and I got some last minute baby sitting for a much needed night away so we decided to head for Coronado. We are native Californians but we had never been to this part of San Diego. We decided to stay at the Glorietta Bay Inn because it was beatiful and the price was great. A stay across the street (Hotel Del Coronado) would have cost an arm and a leg. This hotel had EXCELLENT service, free breakfast, and is walking distance to the beach, shopping, and dining. It sounds like the hotel will automatically upgrade your room for you for free if they have deluxe rooms available. They did that for us! I wish I could remeber the name of the girl that helped us at the front desk. She was friendly and professional and remembered me right away from our phone conversation. The whole experience was equal to one of my shopping trips to Nordstroms. EXCELLENT!! Please stay here.

We stayed here one night before a cruise and enjoyed it very much. They even gave us an upgrade. If you call the hotel to book they give you a discount (senior, AAA). It was raining very badly the morning we were to check out and our cruise embarkation was going to be delayed so the hotel was kind enough to let us have a late 1pm checkout.
Their breakfast was excellent, with a wonderful selection and cozy dining area. We would like to go back in summer for a longer stay when it is warmer. Coronado is delightful to walk, many great restaurants and shopping. We had been to San Diego before but prefer this area.
Our room had a nice little patio and the traffic noise was a little busy during the day but the front desk told us to calms down, which it did and was quiet in the evening. Highly recommend it.( It is across the street from Del Coronado which is very much higher in price and dark, too busy inside) You can walk to a nice beach here also.

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.
