"We had a great experience At Beachside Hotel. We were welcomed by friendly Julian. He gave us some recommendations of restaurants and what we could before the everything shut down. The rooms were cozy, clean, and beds were comfortable. We were close to the pool but unfortunately we didn’t go swimming. The pool was well maintained. There was staff on the premises that constantly were maintaining property."

"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.."

"Housekeeping was good, and with good timing. The breakfast is better than the typical continental breakfast. Front patio is a nice place to enjoy it. Pool area is very nice, though I did not use it. My room was clean and quiet. An approximate 10 minute brisk walk will get you to stearns wharf, maritime museum, or state street (and nearby funk zone). Parking is easy, and included. Access to the 101 is very convenient."
