Overall fine, but could use some improvements.

The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The condition of the room could have been improved, especially for the cost of the stay. The room I stayed in was one that connected to the next room. The only thing that separated the rooms was a simple chain on the door. The deadbolt was not locked and I could hear everything the woman in the next room said and did as I'm sure she could hear me. There was a broken shelf in the bathroom and very little counter space for toiletries. Some of the towels also had hair on them from previous guests. They were clean, but someone else's hair was stuck to the towels. I would have expected some bottled water or something in the room given the cost of the hotel per night. It came with a fridge and microwave, both of which were clean. The bed was uncomfortable and the pillows were lumpy making it difficult to get to sleep.

Nice attendant when I got in. Complimentary appy at Miguel's was put to awesome use that night (HUGE portions there, I was nuked). Solid rooms, cute ambience and vibe. Right in the thick of the tourist-y bits of Coronado, but hey, that's what we're here for. You can practically throw a rock to the water.

Our room had an outside entrance, up a flight of stairs, with bar located at bottom of stairs which was very loud in the room. Bar did shut down after 10pm. Room smelled very strongly of must/mold. Tiny bathroom, sink hardly drained and came close to spill over while washing hands. Housekeeping vacuumed and cleaned the stairs outside the rooms at 7:30am for 20 minutes. I don’t recommend this hotel.

Upset at El Cordoba hotel in Coronado Calif.

First of all one car drop off and a lot of traffic going and coming. No one to help you on the curb side you need to go and get the cart for your luggage or wait for one to be available. It’s a very old Hotel that’s been a little up to date. It’s a two level hotel and if your luck you will have a room down stairs. That we didn’t no one will help you to your room and there is no elevator. No wheelchair access and the path way are very narrow. They share the property with a restaurant Miguel’s Mexican food so you will always smell the cooking oils around the property. Our room had a king size bed but you didn’t have room for nothing else. No refrigerator and we took some cold meats and wine to have as we get ready for our party we will attend. We had to throw everything away. There was no room to get ready for two persons as I wanted to put on my makeup and not enough light.The bathroom was so small and the sink you had to wash one hand a time it was like a bird bath. I was very upset about this hotel I will not return. So please read review before reserving.

It was a busy time of year after Christmas. On street parking was very competitive and required moving of cars. We could have used the parking area at $40 per night but were fortunate to find spots though it would not be for the faint of heart. We enjoyed the 1 bedroom suite very much but it requires climbing stairs. FYI

Upon my evening arrival I rang the bell for the front desk employee, who told me he was the only person on duty and was at lunch. He told me to wait 27 minutes until he finished lunch to check in. Other than that the place was excellent. Many restaurants very close by.

Very nice and quaint hotel, and convenient to all the shops, restaurants and the beach. Sadly had to give up our initial room overlooking the courtyard because of a faulty door lock. Hotel should have fixed it then put us back in our original room. Instead they downgraded us to a smaller room on the back side facing alley, which noisy trash trucks and large delivery trucks wake you up at and the street lights never allow for a dark room. Also noticed the carpets were filthy. I couldn’t figure out why the bottom of my husbands feet and my socks were discolored! Overall, our stay was pleasant.

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.
