This is a perfect location. The space was a smidge tight for our family of 4 but the location was worth it. We’d definitely stay again.

Cute hotel. Great location a short walk to the beach, restaurants very close. Bathroom was very small in our room. Also there was no fridge or microwave in room. Parking was available for a fee, but was offsite at a garage in the Bank of America about a block from the hotel. Overall a nice stay with friendly staff.

Boutiquesque!
Beautiful hotel, more like a boutique hotel with a Spanish theme, in the perfect location. The room was like a small apartment, full kitchen, beautiful living room with view over looking an inner courtyard. We will be going back!

Just okay
Overall, our experience was okay but I would not stay here again. The location is great, however we did have a hard time with parking. When checking in, we asked where we were able to leave the car and they told us that the structure they use is fully booked and that we would have to resort to street parking and be wary of time-restricted zones. Thankfully, we were able to find a spot nearby but I could imagine that this would be an inconvenience to others. The room was nice and clean, but the towel that I used to shower that night had a lot of hairs stuck on it from someone who had previously used it that got stuck to my body. That’s just gross. Finally, the morning of checkout came and we decided to pack our stuff and move it to the car and go out for breakfast but then later return to freshen up. When we returned before checkout time, housekeeping had already started cleaning up our room even though we had not even checked out yet. How does this happen? When we went to the front desk to inform them, all we got was a “oh that’s so weird, I’m sorry!” Okay?? I’m sure others experiences were better than ours but I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone I know.

Nice quiet hotel at night. Staff helped get our luggage to the room upstairs which was appreciated since I was traveling with a mobility challenged friend. They also accommodated an hour later checkout due to our flight time today. I would come back to stay here again.

6/10 Good

The hotel is beautiful and conveniently located. Unfortunately, it's also very noisy due to the outdoor Mexican restaurant in the center of the hotel, and if you were provided a room close to it, the noise travels up to your room. The street below the window is also very noisy. The most concerning problem was that there was no parking on the premises. We had to pay $40 extra to park in a garage about two blocks away!

This hotel was a great find in Coronado! The staff was helpful and friendly. The El Cordova Hotel is quaint and historic, and across yhe street from the Hotel Del Coronado and the most beautiful beach. Many good restaurants are a short walk nearby. We will be back!

4/10 Fair

The location is fantastic and the room was spacious and lovely…except for the window a/c unit which allowed a view into the room from the alley and the shower that wouldn’t turn in. Worst was staffs response when told about said shower and said ‘u have to pull on it really hard’. We did that and the dial was actually pulling out of the wall without turning on. Not sure what else we were supposed to do… i responded that if that was indeed the way to make it work they might warn guests…?… and receive a rather smirky stare. I wanted to LOVE this property but that pretty much killed it.

I traveled with two teen boys so I booked the two bedroom. The place was huge! It actually was a two bedroom (each room had its own bathroom), walk in closets, huge living room and large kitchen/dining area. We couldn’t believe it! Felt more like an apartment. Walkable to shops, restaurants, and Coronado beach. The downside is it’s really noisy outside around the property. Also, the Wifi was spotty so if you bring a computer, you can’t use it on the desk in the living room. Last, bathrooms were the old Spanish style, so if you prefer modern then you won’t like them. It was absolutely perfect for our needs, family friendly, etc. But not a romantic or peaceful getaway.

Wonderful!
Wonderful hotel in Coronado. This place is so cute, we loved it. We had a spacious 1 bedroom suite with a kitchen. I could seriously live here. You are steps from shops, restaurants and a short walk to the beach and Hotel Del. Great for a romantic weekend or a family stay. So much character, something I would expect to find in the south of France, Italy or Spain. If you have difficulty with stairs or have small children, book a ground floor. The stairs are steep and there are no elevators. Plenty of free parking if you are willing to park in the neighborhood and walk a little bit. If you expect to park at the hotel, you will be disappointed. The area is very safe so I felt fine parking a few blocks away on the street.

We felt like we were almost in Puerto Vallarta one of our favorite places. Being so close to the beach was wonderful. And being so close to shops and restaurants was great. We really liked our spacious rooms, too.

Check-in and check-out was super quick and easy, and all staff was helpful and great to work with. Since our room was ready, they even let us check-in a couple of hours early! The room was clean and suited our needs really well. The location is great, as there is so much to do and see within walking distance. Definitely would recommend to family and friends.
