El Cordova Hotel on Coronado Island

The hotel restaurant is literally right in the middle of the property. There is a supply storage right near the pool and vendors and employees were constantly in and out. We were advised of the ongoing construction with them extending the restaurant but weren’t prepared for the truck parked right outside our window in room 51 at 4:00 am unloading materials. Overall the room was spacious and clean. The outside area and landscaping coukd be tidied up. Parking is offsite a few blocks away for a fee.

We have stayed on Coronado many times for years. It has become very touristy. Parking is challenging. El Cordova is very old but still a good value. It can be noisy. Mattress was comfy but shower lacks water pressure. The Brig & Miguel’s are now all about speed and not quality. Would we recommend staying here? Yes, you’re walking distance to the beach and right across the street from the Del.

Sections of the property is under construction so you had the noise to deal with and they management is not very generous with

Loved our unit! Like a mini apartment. 2 bedroom suite was amazing with beautiful view of the Coronado Hotel across the street. Loved the Spanish style, old world vibe of the property. Miguel’s Mexican food on property is AMAZING as well. We had it twice. Pool & hot tub were clean and we enjoyed them all the days of our stay as well. Free summer shuttle bus picked up right at the corner. Will stay again.

Great location, can walk to everything. Parking is a challenge even when paying for parking.

Overall the stay was good with an attentive staff and greet Mexican food restaurant. Disappointment was hot tub was out of order and this is what we were looking forward to during our stay.

Clean room

We booked this because we needed a two bedroom unit close to the beach in Coronado that was somewhat affordable. It was very close to the beach, as well as shopping in Coronado, with many good restaurants all within walking distance. The room was old. Smelled old, too. Kitchenette and living room were very dated. Beds were quite comfortable, however, and nicely appointed bedrooms. Parking was a nightmare. Street parking was almost non-existent and their garage was too far for my handicapped brother to walk. Charged for it, but don’t remember how much they said. The restaurant attached was under construction, so had to walk around that going back and forth to room. Very small pool that no one used, but it was clean. It’s a cute property that just needs some updating, but a decent price for the location.

It was a good location close to shops and restaurants and such, but the room we got was so tiny! For the price we paid to not even be able to turn around in the shower-and I am a very petite person and it was very very small. The bathroom was like 5 square feet, if someone sat on the toilet their feet could reach out and touch the shower.

The main issue was that there was no hot water in my room for more than 24 hours. Taking a shower or using hot water was simply impossible during a significant part of my stay. What made the situation worse is that the hotel staff appeared to be aware of the problem, yet guests were still checked into affected rooms. While staff members apologized, there was no meaningful effort to resolve the situation promptly and no fair compensation was offered for such a major inconvenience. Being told that a plumber would eventually come was not a solution, especially when it became clear that repairs were unlikely to happen quickly. When you pay for a hotel, basic amenities like hot water should be available. Unfortunately, that was not the case here. The lack of communication, limited response from management, and absence of adequate compensation left a very negative impression. I cannot recommend this hotel based on my experience and would think twice before staying here again.

Unauthorized charges.

Historically beautiful hotel right by the Coronado, living on its past while crumbling. The gentleman at the front dest was wonderful!! The rest was meh. Who stocks the room with only decaf pods, that go to a coffee pot which is broken? Fail

Very clean and comfortable room. Great location. Great staff.

♿ Room suite #36 I was a solo disabled traveler and the hotel assigned me an ADA suite which was very spacious but maybe has a few quirks imperfect for everyone. Chiefly the main queensized bed was very high, close to 29". There was a sofa bed, and I chose to sleep on that at ~19" high. Additionally the spacious roll in shower had a distinctly sloped floor for drainage. That made navigating your own chair exactly as you wish for transfers, a little challenging or unstable. Lastly the bathroom sink was lacking adjacent counter space. Pluses were the full kitchen with a low (lower than the masterbed ?) countertop and ♿ room under the sink, stove, and prep area. The roomy separate room with the toilet and small sink was a luxury. Cheers.

Loved the location and quaintness of this hotel. However bathroom needed some cosmetic work. I sometime think they give Hotel.com quests the worse room. We were located right by Mexican restaurant and looked out on a tin roof. Thought there was daily room cleaning but ours was never cleaned. Would definitely expect and ask for more next time.

Loved the Spanish style of the building The parking. We had to park on the street. It wasn’t bad because it was on a weekday but I don’t think I would have the same luck on a weekend.

The El Cordova Hotel is an exceptional and charming hacienda cstyle hotel in the heart of Coronado featuring a delicious Mexican and Seafood Restaurants within its corridor and across the street from the famous Del Hotel and endless beach. It is surrounded by endless shopping and international restaurants. The front desk staff are exceptional and receptive to all requests.

As we experienced cool weather, we required heat. A space-heat was provided by the hotel.

Well I stayed for a week the hot tub NEVER worked. My room was next to an alley so it was not quite. The pull out couch was broke. So it just hurt the back. Overall id say find something else.

We’ve stayed here twice and had a great stay both times
