    Everything was perfect! We absolutely loved this place. The atmosphere, service, and overall experience were amazing. We can’t wait to come back!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Excellent option for staying on the beautiful Coronado Island.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We enjoyed our stay. Very clean only problem we had was we couldn’t get the TV to work. They were helpful with suggestions, but we never were able to figure it out. Overall a very nice place to stay

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room was dirty upon arrival. The floors and the shower were noticeably not cleaned. Cheapest place to stay in Coronado

    Parking

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Really great boutique motel. Check in details were tricky because “we used Expedia” (we didn’t) that seems like something they should figure out considering how many people book with third party booking sites. Also both AC united had absolutely filthy filters and flashing filter lights on. I cleaned them both but only one AC unit actually worked. It never ceases to amaze how hotels can’t keep up with AC maintenance. Also, “free self parking” was a joke, only 6 parking spots for like 12 or so rooms. We never once saw an open parking spots. Besides those details the room was perfect and the location was amazing.

    There is parking available and the staff was helpful with check in and check out. The facility is basic but clean and well maintained and is a good value for the money in this area.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Very cute. Perfect central location.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    This is my second time booking a room al El Rancho M . Is very close to restaurants and the beach area, I would recommend it to anyone.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Everything was good very beautiful I would totally go back just AC would work it was hot in the room at night. AC would turn on and off throughout the day.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Clean room, hot shower, cold a/c, nice staff, quiet and great location.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Was easy check on, appreciated the glass coffee cup!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    There are two parking slots at the front (flight of steps up to the entrance) and four in the alley at the back with level access, accessed from Fourth Street. There are comfortable patios with chairs and tables front and rear. Excellent breakfasts may be taken at the Crown Inn one block west. The most curious feature of the motel is this: We stayed four nights without ever encountering a member of staff. On arrival the office was locked and there was a notice with a phone number. I called it and spoke with a very pleasant gentleman named Fred who processed my payment and texted me a code for the office door so that I could obtain my room key. There are plenty of spare supplies in the office such as paper cups, coffee pods, toilet tissue etc., guests just help themselves. Our room was efficiently and thoroughly serviced each day while we were out but we never saw who did it. On checkout we simply dropped the key into a lock box.

    I never met any staff during my stay at the motel. All communication was by text messages. Coffee maker didn’t work on my room. Bed was comfortable.

  • Engine customer May 2026

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Everything was great. Easy parking close walking distance to all shops and restaurants

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    No one in office - provided a number to call - often no response after calling to get help with internet issues, TV did not work for two days. Four requests for receipt and still no receipt received through Expedia or the motel - look at ceilings - full of cobwebs - will not stay again.

    Good location, clean rooms,
