Our 8th stay here was extremely pleasant. Javier at the front desk was very helpful; got us into the room we requested and made sure we were able to get a parking pass. This is the best place to stay on the island and we’ll be staying there until again soon.

Just okay
Overall, our experience was okay but I would not stay here again. The location is great, however we did have a hard time with parking. When checking in, we asked where we were able to leave the car and they told us that the structure they use is fully booked and that we would have to resort to street parking and be wary of time-restricted zones. Thankfully, we were able to find a spot nearby but I could imagine that this would be an inconvenience to others. The room was nice and clean, but the towel that I used to shower that night had a lot of hairs stuck on it from someone who had previously used it that got stuck to my body. That’s just gross. Finally, the morning of checkout came and we decided to pack our stuff and move it to the car and go out for breakfast but then later return to freshen up. When we returned before checkout time, housekeeping had already started cleaning up our room even though we had not even checked out yet. How does this happen? When we went to the front desk to inform them, all we got was a “oh that’s so weird, I’m sorry!” Okay?? I’m sure others experiences were better than ours but I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone I know.

Nice quiet hotel at night. Staff helped get our luggage to the room upstairs which was appreciated since I was traveling with a mobility challenged friend. They also accommodated an hour later checkout due to our flight time today. I would come back to stay here again.

Great location across the street from Hotel Del and the Boathouse. VERY walkable to beach, dining and shopping. Room was nice, slightly dated but minimal. Staff is incredibke and daily breakfast buffet abd hot coffe included in resort fee was very nice. Good food, eggs, sausage, potatoes, bagels, etc...Good coffee, tea, juices also included. If are not familiar with the island you shoukd rent a golf cart and cruise around. Be sure to go to east end of Orange Ave and view the Downtown SD skyline from across the water...stunning night views...Enjoy Coronado...very beautiful place we have been going for years.
