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.

Dated hotel, great location. Very walkable few blocks to the beaches. Great dining options in the area. Pool was freezing cold and hot tub was cold as the pool. Staff was non existence. Beautiful open concept hotel with resturants on site BUT zero security. Anyone off the street is walking around common areas because of stores and shops .over-all i would stay again for convenience .

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!

My stay at the El Cordova Hotel on Coronado Island was absolutely wonderful! This gorgeous boutique hotel, perfectly positioned across from the iconic Hotel del Coronado and stunning Coronado Beach, is a true gem. The villa-style architecture and historic Mexican charm create an unforgettable atmosphere. Our small suite was spacious, beautifully appointed, and provided all the comforts we needed. The charming courtyard, complete with a cozy fire pit, was perfect for chilly evenings, while the pool and hot tub were just right for relaxation. With fantastic restaurants and hidden shops only steps away, everything was incredibly convenient. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend this delightful hotel!

Very much a niche property. No elevator, many steps. Not good for a senior woman with 2 weeks worth of luggage. Room didn't feel totally clean. Parking was an extra cost and a fairly long hike from the hotel. Staff was moderately helpful.
