The El Cordova is extremely convenient when staying near the Del. Staff was very friendly and helpful! Our room's air conditioner was very loud at night, but we were able to open the windows and turn on the fan. Unfortunately, there is a trash truck that runs daily for the restaurants nearby that run early in the morning. Other than the trash truck, El Cordova was a 10/10!

The location is excellent. Curbside parking is almost impossible to find. Fortunately the facility has parking garage parking available down the street. The beds were comfortable and air conditioning worked great. Having a restaurant as part of the facility made evening dining a breeze. In fact, there are numerous dining choices just steps away. The beach is also a straight shot about two blocks away. It was a short walk with our kids. We all enjoyed the pool in the evening. It is an old facility but the staff has kept it clean and everything works. We had an issue with the television and service came right up. I only wish they had a 3 bedroom unit as my oldest son gets tired of sleeping on sleeper sofas.

Great location and Good Option for Coronado Island
Great hotel in an excellent location close to the beach. We were in the suite and it was spacious and wonderful. The bad thing is parking is limited although there is free street parking if you can find it. Also, one of the bathroom tubs was in need of repair. I would stay here again.

We had the best time! Super spacious suite with two bedrooms and two bathrooms perfect for a family. Given the age of the property I was very impressed! Best part was the close walk to Coronado beach and the delicious Mexican restaurant below. Will definitely come back!

Small but great location
In regards to location it's a perfect spot! Although we had a King room, it was very very small and looked out over the alleyway. We were only there 1 night so we made the best of it.

Great small hotel to stay in. My only issue was that I didnt realize the setup of the hotel. We were on the second floor with only stairs as a way to access the room. My fault for not asking. Daniel at the front desk was kind enough to take luggage up/down when requested. Fan and main light in the room didnt work and no light in the closet where we the coffee machine was. Otherwise it was a pleasant stay.

The room we got wasn't very quiet from 11am until like 9 am due to the restaurant that is right in the middle of the bedrooms. The room bedroom cracked so much, and The staff explained to us is an old historic building. Bathroom is somehow small, bed is comfortable and living room and kitchen area are spacious enough. Some staff were very nice and other were the opposite. Walkable hotel, you could pretty much anywhere from it.
