It was fun to stay in an older hotel… but it was older. Many of our outlets didn’t work. And the resort fee is a bit of a disappointment. But the workers were all nice and helpful. The pool was quite cold but when we arrived late the man at the desk said he would open it for us and our son. Nice people all around. Just not thrilled about the resort fee.

Quaint, Mediterranean feel to this hotel with its spread-out rooms and tiny spaces, but everything very clean and charming tile in the minuscule bathroom. Front desk staff helped with bags up steep outdoor steps to our room.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We have enjoyed numerous stays at the El Cordova. The room we had this trip had some cleanliness issues including grungy bath floors & dirt build up on baseboards. The only towel bar was broken. They need to take room 118 out of service for a deep clean.
