Another excellent stay at our favorite hotel. Benjamin was the perfect host and helped us with our room and parking pass. We always ask for the same room, as it was the first one we occupied, and is perfect for our needs. We were glad to have such a welcoming host and have already made another reservation.

The Good: Great location in Coronado for a reasonable price. Right across the street from the beautiful Hotel Del. Close to lots of restaurants and shopping along Orange Ave. The Bad: Had to switch rooms due to thin walls and noise next door. Some of the rooms are right by/over a Mexican restaurant that closes at 9pm but still noise from staff cleaning and prepping. Parking is a challenge if you don't want to pay $40/day for a garage.

Comfortable Stay in Beautiful Coronado

We stayed for one night to be near family and enjoyed the location—Coronado is beautiful. There are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance, and the beach is just a short walk away. The rooms were comfortable, and the service was friendly. Parking can be challenging, so plan ahead. Overall, it was a good stay, but the price felt high at over $400 for one night. I’d happily return if the rate were closer to $200.
