like the location across from the Del Hotel..easy to cross street to take advantage of the Del and its restaurants.. the Glorietta Inn is a basic hotel..decent breakfast..nice view across from the bay and sailboats..the pool could use more umbrellas specially since it was so hot... the housekeeping is only every other day .. what is great is the fact that you are on Orange road and its many shops and restaurants. so great location..

Convenient location next to shops and farmers market. Our room was on the smaller side, but was very nice, quiet, and clean! All the staff were friendly and helpful. They helped make our wedding anniversary extra special. It is also pet-friendly, and valet parking was easy and reasonably priced - we will definitely return!
