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
Lonely Planet "Overshadowed by the neighboring Hotel Del, the Glorietta is built in and around the 1908 Spreckels Mansion." Full review
