Great location, old room

Location is fantastic, hotel is historical. Unfortunately there’s no room service so no clean towel. The rooms are rough and has not had an update in a long time. But the location is very good.

The property had a “charm” to it as others have stated. But, that also means it was old, and in disrepair. The bathroom is small (can’t close the door easily while in the bathroom, and there was a funky odor (maybe Febreeze used to cover up other smells). So, if romance is on your agenda, I would not recommend this hotel, unless this is your thing. Not bad pricing for the area, and its proximity to the beach. However, be aware that the parking on the adjacent street is 2 hours only, and the signs were not clearly lit at nighttime. The staff didn’t let us know, and the next day, we ended up with a $60 ticket. Also, we had to wait about 20 mins to check in because no one was at the front desk when we arrived.

For many years what I'm stay in this property (25 years) condition going down. AC wasn't work proper, battery in remote dead, trap in shower not fixed and when you step on going out, screen on window not fixed and going out and when wind knock to windows. All doors creaking etc. Probably no body care about in this property. They expect what people will pay for location. I'm was disappointment and leave property day before. And front desk was not show interest when I'm explain the reason what I'm leaving early. They not care about at all.

Cute hotel, great location

The hotel was really cute and perfectly located. When I arrived I had to wait for a while till someone checked me in, but after that service was excellent. The room was comfortable and super quiet. No frills, but for the location it was a great place to stay and good value for money. No free parking for guests - it seemed like they had on site parking from description but it's $40 per night. Street parking is Free after 6 pm before 8 am.

Our favorite aspect of El Cordova was the location. Easy access to the beach and restaurants - just perfect. There was some confusion about our room when we checked in. We booked a Deluxe King through Expedia and were placed in an ADA. I wish the concierge would have explained this better to us, as we would have requested a different room. He seemed very confused during check in. We were very pleased to be provided a free appetizer from El Cordova at one of the adjoining restaurants. Bed was comfortable. We would attempt again.

Loved the historic aspect of the hotel. The rooms are in need of some renovations however. We stayed in room 36. The size of the room was huge. The TV in the bedroom didn’t work, toilet roll holder was missing, and shelf in the bathroom was absent from the holder. The location was superb…right across from the Del Coronado and beach and walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Lively restaurant, Miguel’s on site for drinks and food. There was also a quaint coffee shop with the nicest woman and warmest smile! Parking may be difficult depending on time of day, but we seemed to not have a problem finding street parking during our weekend stay.

Lots to enjoy in the area

Great centralized hotel across the street from hotel del and the ocean, the only downside was the steep staircase to the rooms and the bathroom was extremely small you could sit on the toilet and have the sink in your lap, also a very small shower Not tall or plus size friendly.
