Street parking is difficult. Bathroom is very small. Stairs are very steep. Located across the street from the Hotel Del . Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Some street noise.

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.

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 .

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.
