Our room was a bit old (even though it was not a part of the historic building) and worn and functionally obsolete compared to other places we’ve stayed but we did read that the property is undergoing renovations.

We found GBI appealing because it is a beautiful historic mansion set in an exceptionally scenic and convenient location overlooking Glorietta Bay. We loved that the Inn was convenient to Coronado YC and within easy walking distance to a whole area of boutiques, restaurants, beaches and other attractions. We enjoyed the refreshing pool and hot tub after a long day of activities, the pleasing outdoor garden spaces and shaded cafe tables sprinkled throughout. The breakfast Buffett and coffee was excellent and the staff at the front desk were responsive and gracious hosts.

The bed cover (duvet) might be a British thing but I prefer one that keeps the duvet inside it and isn’t open on all sides.

The location of this hotel is absolutely fantastic. The staff are lovely and really helpful. Room was dated but clean and exactly what was portrayed on the photos so it wasn’t a surprise. We didn’t realise a basic breakfast was included and although we mainly ate out it was nice to be able to grab a coffee / juice in the morning if we wanted so that was a bonus. Pool is small but pleasant. They lend you body boards / chairs / towels for the beach. Given how expensive it is to stay on Coronado it’s exceptional value for the location. We paid for 7 nights what 3 at the Del across the road would have cost us.

MY HUSBAND DID COMPLAIN OF THE MATTRESS NOT COMFORTABLE.

LOCATION IS PERFECT, STAFF WAS VERY HELPFUL, COURTEOUS AND ATTENTIVE. BREAKFAST WAS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER PLACE WE'VE STAYED AT!

Not enough electrical plugs, we both have cpap machines & had to use extension cords that we had brought with us. Also the curtains did not block out light well. The sliding balcony door did not have very good security.

The location & the history of the hotel.

Bed could use more blankets, it wasn’t cozy. The light in room 210 shines through on the side of slider and hits the sleeper closest

Great to have a prepared breakfast in the morning and close to downtown

The only thing that I didn't care for was the a/c unit blowing on me all night. I like circulation, but can't sleep with the fan directly on me. A redirection of the air to either the left or right of the bed would have been great.

The breakfast was good, there was something for everyone. I loved the cucumber-lemon-lime infused ice water! The location was close (within walking distance for us) to almost all of the eateries on the island. We enjoyed the historical aspect of the inn, and appreciated the way the main original building was preserved. We also liked the proximity to the beach. The staff was friendly and helpful. The cable tv company had plenty of channels to watch. Our balcony provided very scenic views of Glorietta Bay harbor.

The room and the grounds could have been cleaner. The carpet was very dirty and had a faint mildew smell, the AC had a faint mildew smell, the chair and tables around the pool had cobwebs all over them, and there were often small pieces of trash, hoses, brooms, and trash bags left out on the grounds and outside hallways of the property.

The property is gorgeous, the staff was exceptional, and the location and cost are great!

Our room was small. The AC needs updated. Big stains in our carpet.

The location and history. I was randomly selected as a guest of the day. I got 50% off parking and 30% off my next stay.

Location was nice , quite atmosphere, good breakfast, staff was pleasant

The soap and shampoo is in little paper packets, that seems good for the environment, but once wet, the paper starts to flake apart quickly, so after a couple of showers it creates a black gooey mess in the shower.

The breakfast was great with several hot and cold options, the staff kept everything full and it was lovely to eat on the terrace facing the bay. The staff was always friendly and the location is perfect, it’s a quick walk to the beach or into town. We really enjoyed our stay here.

the hotel is old and for the same price you can find better, I paid 1900 dollars for 3 nights, it's very expensive, I thought the hotel would be newer

the staff is good, breakfast is delicious.

The AC units weren’t the best at maintaining a comfortable temperature in the room.

A beautiful, well-maintained, quaint hotel.

Stayed in July 2024

The bathroom was quite small and cramped. There is a significant lack of towel rods with which to hang wet/damp towels.

The location was great. Additionally, the breakfast buffet was quite good. The staff was helpful, friendly and professional.
