Lovely Hotel across from the Beach

We had a great room right off the patio. Nice and quiet. Great air conditioning! Small kitchen, but perfect for our needs. Bathroom was a bit small, but sufficient. Right across the street from the Beach and the Del Coronado Hotel!!

Hotel is nice hotel spanish built hotel. Hotel is older so somethings are not up to date. Hotel its self was fine stay at. Great hottub pool mexican restaurant in court yeard with fire pits. What kept my from raiting everything excellent was the lack of cleanliness people were experiencing. I was moved to 3 different rooms do t simpple issue with shower that should be an issue when staying at this of property. THey did make it right and gave a credit on part of my stay
dustin, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

All in all a good stay close to the beach.

All in all good stay but noise from the restaurant is an issue a guest needs to be prepared for and I mean not the noise from the guests. It’s the noise from the staff who even during nights clean and move goods which is quite loud. The location so close to the beach is fantastic!
Thomas, 7-night trip

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.

This is return visit for me, my father and sister. We used to stay here over 40 years ago. This is still an amaxing place. Staff super friendly, great location and nice spacious rooms. We love it and will always stay here.
Kimberly, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staying at this hotel felt like being transported to a serene Spanish villa. It had that perfect balance of elegance and warmth that made it feel less like a hotel and more like a home away from home. The staff was also genuinely friendly and welcoming.
Emanuel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel has a lot of character and charm being an older building, and the room had everything I needed and was perfect for a solo traveler. The staff there and in the neighboring restaurants and businesses were wonderful, and the location was perfect for me- walkable to the beach and the other attractions. I enjoyed my stay!
