About the Hotel
Glorietta Bay Inn is a century-old mansion originally built by sugar magnet John D. Spreckels in 1908. Its envious location, overlooking the bay on lovely Coronado island across the harbor from downtown San Diego, is just one block from the beach and steps away from a fleet of upscale shops and restaurants that line charming Orange Avenue. The rooms, housed in both the original mansion and a more modern annex, are all newly-remodeled with varying appointments. Those who slumber beneath the storied roofs enjoy extra plush bedding and fabulous views, plus turndown service with milk and cookies left bedside for late-night noshing. All guests are privy to an expanded continental breakfast and afternoon refreshments. The inn also has a refreshing swimming pool for anyone wanting to take a plunge.

Reviews for Glorietta Bay Inn
Nice location, but ...
We've stayed at Glorietta a number of times over the years, always appreciating the quaint mansion, great location and included breakfast. The rooms vary in size, but ours was really quite tight, dated, and dark. The bathroom could not have been smaller. There was a hint of odor from the carpet and stains on one chair. We borrowed wineglasses from the dining room; they weren’t clean. Finally, the Internet wasn’t really up to loading Google maps promptly (about 1 Mbps), let alone streaming. All in all, the hotel would benefit from a refresh.

Room 102-the Sugar Baron Room has big wow factor,complete with a roomy outdoor terrace
Room 102-the Sugar Baron room has a big wow factor, a huge outdoor terrace overlooking the bay and it comes with a view of the Del and a glimpse of the ocean. Always

Better than a motel
I'm really a little conflicted about this place .Its a great location although they oversold the Bayview room , you could walk to stores and restuarants and the service was really good . The bathroom was tiny the bed seemed older . The furniture was good but at over 300 hundred a night it was expensive . For that price you do have options . Over all we did enjoy our stay but would check the smaller boutigue hotels for a deal next time

Short walk from restaurants, bars and the beach. We did a family bike ride around Coronado which was great. Friendly staff and tasty breakfast

We stayed at Glorietta Bay in the Sugar Baron Suite. The overall experience was outstanding with service world-class. We would definitely stay at the Glorietta Inn again.
