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

"A hip, fun boutique with quite a bit of character. Cool touches, such as free poolside movie nights; a fun, chill vibe; and free loaner bikes." Full review
On the Grid "This boutique hotel offers a fun restaurant/bar experience to locals and tourists alike." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The petite 23-room property feels like Palm Springs style with a low-key, tucked-away vibe...it's not just about the size, decor, and amenities—you can sense the boutique vibe in the thoughtful staff." Full review
Frommer's "Built on the bones of a 1959 motel, this boutique hotel draws budget travelers who dig its groovy, mid-century modern vibe" Full review
Lonely Planet "The 23 rooms wrap around a peanut-sized swimming pool where guests and locals mingle during 'dive-in movies' on Wednesday nights." Full review
Independent "This sweet mid-century motel in San Diego is a vintage dream – all cut-stone walls, mirrored ceilings and exterior desert-scaping that feel lifted right out of 1965 Palm Springs"
