“The place to stay on Coronado”
We were first given a "contemporary" room, meaning not one in the historic mansion. It was spacious and comfortable, but we were not comfortable on the ground floor and requested a room on the second floor. Our belongings were moved to the mansion (for the same price as the contemporary room) while we were gone the next day. While the room in the mansion was somewhat smaller, it felt as if we were staying at someone's luxurious house. Nice furnishings and fabrics! Plus historic touches like an old-fashioned skylight in the bathroom that let in lots of light.
In the mansion, we were treated to chocolates and chocolate chip cookies at turn-down. Ice-cold milk was available in the lobby of our floor. In addition, cookies and lemonade were available in the main floor lobby every evening. In the morning, we had hard-boiled eggs, Danish, bagels, toast, cereal (hot and cold), fruit, juices (orange, cranberry, and apple), coffee, and hot tea. Although seating is available inside, we ate on the veranda, where the birds were constant companions.
With the Hotel del Coronado across the street, it was the best location possible. We could hang out and eat over at "The Del" during the day and come back to our much quieter and less expensive hotel room at the Glorietta Bay Inn. It was perfect!
