The room was spotless and the beds were very comfortable! The staff was so helpful and it was one of the best stays I've ever had - what a hidden gem in Coronado for a great price and a very comfortable stay! The beds and bedding were 4 to 5 star hotel quality! Looks like the rooms and bathrooms have been recently renovated - like new!
