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!

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.

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.
