Concierge "Situated across the street from the famed "Hotel Del," the Glorietta Bay Inn often gets billed as the poor man's version of the grande dame, but this 11-room charmer has much to recommend it."
Fodor's "The inn is adjacent to the Coronado harbor and near many restaurants and shops, but it's much smaller and quieter than the Hotel Del, across the street." Full review

DK Eyewitness "Two-story, red-tile-roof adobe buildings and bougainvillea-adorned patios evoke images of early California at this gracious resort."
Gayot "Three things come to mind when thinking of the Rancho Bernardo Inn (or the RBI as locals call it): classic California style, premier golf and an award-winning spa."
BlackBook "Tranquility-seekers, beeline it to RBI. This historic property is a secret garden of peaceful luxury in the midst of the cookie-cutter suburbia that has grown up in its environs."
Condé Nast Traveler "It's a sprawling property with Spanish Colonial-style buildings and gardens throughout." Full review
Time Out "Hidden in the quiet neighborhood of Rancho Bernardo, the Inn makes guests feel worlds away from the busy city." Full review
