I really liked how close to the beach it was. Miguels is one of our fav restaurants and is on premises. Parking was $40/night for a garage or you could opt for street parking. For a historic inn it was in pretty good shape and we really enjoyed our stay in the 2 bedroom unit

Our room was clean but the fixtures in the bathtub were very loose. At the prices they charge, housekeeping should be automatic and not upon request. Parking on the street was not convenient.

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.

Is extremely small, no parking in the hotel, all there is a restaurant in the middle of the rooms and we could hear a lot of noise. For a little more you can stat at El coronado. Not recommended

Disliked: Amenities
The Cordova Hotel has a lot of charm and history—it’s over 100 years old and in a great location. The ambiance and architecture are lovely, and the staff was friendly. However, the building definitely shows its age. The bathroom, in particular, is in need of serious upgrades. I actually twisted my ankle getting out of the shower due to the outdated and unsafe design. While I appreciate the historic feel, basic safety and comfort should still be a priority. With a little maintenance, this place could be truly outstanding.

Pleasantly surprised in the island

I was there for a weekend getaway to my favorite island. First time at El Cordova, and was pleasantly surprised. James has exceptional customer services and went above and beyond. My room was superb! I felt at home. The location is perfect! It's easy to get everywhere!

Would stay again

Pleasant and helpful staff. Great location. Room was comfortable, but there was some noise from the neighbouring restaurant (so I'm told - I slept through it). It's an older property and there isn't a lift.

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!

We love the Cordova and its accessibility to shopping, dining, and strolling along the beach. Parking is off-site, but free for first-come, first-served. We didn’t have trouble finding parking off the street for free but we did juggle with timing. Would definitely come back. It’s a bit dated but the location is unbeatable.

The property is very close to the Del where my meeting was so easily walkable. It is a safe area with good local food/coffee. The paid parking was pretty close and convenient at the B of A parking lot ($40 a night). There were some flies and bugs in the room but this is a humid area (not bed bugs). The bed was comfortable. The room had a bit of a moldy smell but not bad. It was very easy to hear stomping foot steps of the people above us when they got back late. They did upgrade us to a suite which was nice of them. The front dest was nice on check in and they did hold our bags for us on the check out day. However, I did note that there often was no one manning the front desk. When we texted for a needed shower cap and to help with the microwave they were quite responsive. Overall an older property that could use some sprucing up but no major complaints...Just not great.
