Our room was clean but the fixtures in the bathtub were very loose. At the prices they charge, housekeeping should be automatic and not upon request. Parking on the street was not convenient.

A Perfect Home Away in the Heart of Coronado

My wife and I stayed at the hotel for over four weeks while in transition for an overseas deployment, and it truly felt like a home away from home. The location couldn't have been better—right in the heart of Coronado, within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and local attractions. The staff and management were exceptionally friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with anything we needed during our extended stay. Their hospitality made a stressful time much more comfortable. We strongly recommend this hotel for both short and long stays. Thank you for the outstanding service!

Great location, old room

Location is fantastic, hotel is historical. Unfortunately there’s no room service so no clean towel. The rooms are rough and has not had an update in a long time. But the location is very good.

The property had a “charm” to it as others have stated. But, that also means it was old, and in disrepair. The bathroom is small (can’t close the door easily while in the bathroom, and there was a funky odor (maybe Febreeze used to cover up other smells). So, if romance is on your agenda, I would not recommend this hotel, unless this is your thing. Not bad pricing for the area, and its proximity to the beach. However, be aware that the parking on the adjacent street is 2 hours only, and the signs were not clearly lit at nighttime. The staff didn’t let us know, and the next day, we ended up with a $60 ticket. Also, we had to wait about 20 mins to check in because no one was at the front desk when we arrived.

For many years what I'm stay in this property (25 years) condition going down. AC wasn't work proper, battery in remote dead, trap in shower not fixed and when you step on going out, screen on window not fixed and going out and when wind knock to windows. All doors creaking etc. Probably no body care about in this property. They expect what people will pay for location. I'm was disappointment and leave property day before. And front desk was not show interest when I'm explain the reason what I'm leaving early. They not care about at all.

Cute hotel, great location

The hotel was really cute and perfectly located. When I arrived I had to wait for a while till someone checked me in, but after that service was excellent. The room was comfortable and super quiet. No frills, but for the location it was a great place to stay and good value for money. No free parking for guests - it seemed like they had on site parking from description but it's $40 per night. Street parking is Free after 6 pm before 8 am.

Our favorite aspect of El Cordova was the location. Easy access to the beach and restaurants - just perfect. There was some confusion about our room when we checked in. We booked a Deluxe King through Expedia and were placed in an ADA. I wish the concierge would have explained this better to us, as we would have requested a different room. He seemed very confused during check in. We were very pleased to be provided a free appetizer from El Cordova at one of the adjoining restaurants. Bed was comfortable. We would attempt again.
