EL CORDOVA IS THE BEST!

Pros: Everything.
Cons: Nothing.
Location: Perfect location.
We hit the jackpot with El Cordova. I honestly cannot think of one thing that was a negative. The hotel is perfectly located and is charming. We had a one-room suite that was comfortable, spotless, and met every need. The hotel staff to a person were friendly and helpful - they always were smiling and engaged in friendly conversation. This hotel has character, and everyone working there seemed intent to make our stay enjoyable. We will be back!!

Favorite hotel

Pros: Comfortable and handy to everything we want to do
Cons: Nothing
Location: Near everything
This hotel is ideally located on Coronado Island, near everything - - - restaurants, the beach, rental cars, activities, groceries, etc. Reasonably priced compared to other choices in the immediate vicinity.

Hotel With Character

Pros: Close restaurants, atmosphere, location near the beach
Cons: room needs updating
I'm surprised there are not more positive reviews for this hotel. Not ordinary in any way. Many large suites are available that feel like spacious apartments. Hotel is laid out like a Mexican market place with the rooms surrounding the open air market on the inside. All of the restaurants within the hotel have excellent food with friendly prompt service even when busy. The rooms are private and in most cases have private stair ways. Our suite had a balcony over looking the market and high windows with a partial beach view which was a nice touch. The hallway and living room had hardwood floors. The only carpet was in the bedroom. We are very glad we found this place, since it rescued us from the typical cookie cutter hotel with a hefty price tag. The only negative was the lack of updating throughout the suite. Countertops, tiles and fixtures were quite dated although they worked fine and were kept very clean. I noticed they were remodeling another suite near our's so it appears they are working on this. Overall, highly recommended.

Perfect location and great for a family

Pros: Close restaurants, close to beach
We've stayed at the El Cordova several times. We go back because we love the spacious rooms and convenience to everything we love about Coronado - the beach, the restaurants and all the little shops. The staff has always been very pleasant. We will stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay at El Codova Inn

The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was great. Our room was clean and perfect for our needs. I would go back to this hotel as often as posible.

Not as exspected

room was not as pictured on internet, very very dissapointing. Dust on furniture, windows, drapes. Furniture was cheap, and didn't match the decor. This hotel has so much potential, they just don't take advantage of it. They COULD be so much more, but just aren't. \nHad piles of dirty towels outside our door for two days, no screens on the windows, which is very nerve wracking when you have a 4 yr.old who wants to look out the window. Mold in the bathroom around the tub and windows, hair floated up and out of the drain when my little one was taking a bath. Carpet was old and stained, though they had tried to clean it, by evidence of the heavily smelling carpet freshner, that was so heavy it gave you nausia. Would definetly spend the extra $25 dollars to stay across the street at the Hotel Del Coronado. Don't waste your money.

Big Jim

I was there on a business trip because the ""Del"" was booked. The larger rooms would be great for a family holiday, but this is not a place for the business traveler
