The Good: Great location in Coronado for a reasonable price. Right across the street from the beautiful Hotel Del. Close to lots of restaurants and shopping along Orange Ave. The Bad: Had to switch rooms due to thin walls and noise next door. Some of the rooms are right by/over a Mexican restaurant that closes at 9pm but still noise from staff cleaning and prepping. Parking is a challenge if you don't want to pay $40/day for a garage.
