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.

Absolutely loved it here! A unique setting; friendly staff; great restaurant; wonderful character of the rooms… we will definitely come back!

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 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.

Right in the heart of Coronado Island! Super helpful staff. Went above and beyond to answer our questions.

Amazing staff and beautiful boutique hotel in a great location!

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.

It has always been our favorite place to stay. Great location, great staff.

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!

Expensive and very bad service at the front desk no room cleaning and terrible personnel. Very ugly rooms without a/c

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 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.
