Charming boutique, historic hotel. Rooms are updated in an art deco style with a mix of antiques and stylish decor. Location is ideal, just a few blocks from the restaurants and shops on the bay. 10-15 minute walk to the Dali Museum.

This property is an old property and needed some upgrades and some fixes that didn’t really seem to matter to the management. Simple things like the lobby bathroom trashcan was overflowing for two days. The complementary water jug in the lobby was empty in the afternoon. It took three people to tell the bar staff before they would fill it. The bathrooms in the hotel rooms were absolutely horrid! They wouldn’t even classify as a closet. Two people could not stand in the bathroom at the same time unless one was in the shower. The biggest disappointment was there was construction going on adjacent to the building that they had purchased to expand the size of the hotel jackhammer and everything going on outside our window and this was never mentioned to us while we made the reservation before arriving, etc. The young staff for the most part were amazing. It just seemed like there was a lack of management and oversight.

Me and my boyfriend were very comfortable at the Cordova in. It was very cozy and we felt safe. It was worth the price. The Bar was supposed to be open 8am-😭10pm but when we woke up on Sunday at 10am the bar still wasn’t open and we were looking forward to their coffee :/. Their front porch was very nice everything was clean. Very close walkable distance from and very nice AMC theater, Ruth’s Chris, a lot of other bars and liquor stores. I would definitely recommend and stay again!

The hotel was very nice, check in easy and location great. Room was very nice. We did have an issue with the water pressure from the shower head (not high enough to even wash my hair). I reported the problem to the front desk and hopefully they will fix the problem. We only stayed 1 night, so I don't know if the problem was resolved.

Looks can be deceiving!

Coffee Maker, ceiling fan, toilet roll dispenser were broke. Check in service was all that existed. No luggage stand, parking is 2 block away. The shower was small, but looked dirty. Not what I expected for this price! Front porch is awesome!

Black mold in bathroom, looks like 10 coats of paint on walls, windows painted shut, out let’s don’t work, no light bulbs in lamps, AC window units blades caked with dirt, old and decrepit……dingy, dingy, dingy. They moved us to a different room on the second night because I’m allergic to mold. The bathroom was better and did not have mold, but everything was still very dingy and rundown.

Historic - but disappointing

The Cordova Inn was very disappointing. It is supposedly a "renovated" historic inn, but the renovation leaves a lot to be desired. A noisy window AC unit should have been upgraded to a quiet minisplit system - they are quiet, effective, and pretty inexpensive. The hairdryer didn't work. The old clawfoot tub had no grab bar and very hazardous slippery surfaces. There was no work desk in the room - you had to set up a laptop in a common area. The staff weren't particularly friendly or helpful.

Overall not worth what the price per night was. Terrible privacy between rooms(single door separation), covered up windows, half cleaned bathroom, window shaker ac unit, morning staff not around for service. Wish we would have spent this money at another establishment in the area.
