"Great location and lovely property. No restaurant on premises but plenty within close walking distance…Especially Jeannine’s for breakfast and Harbor Restaurant for dinner.

Hotel Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"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.."
