No coffee in the room , can't use the towels at the pool and gift shop was closed so we couldn't by towel, drinks for the night we arrived. We ended up going to the Hotel across the street to use a vending machine because yours were shut off. Nice thing was we could walk out the door to the beach. Oh yeah we arrived around 5pm, thinking there was a restaurant so we could have dinner and relax. Nope only open for breakfast. Any way we did have a place sleep.

I had stayed at the property in June of this year and it was great. This time not at all. When checking in the staff member processing the check in was not very nice. I had asked if she can please check that the room was not a corner room just the balconies are very tiny and we were a family of 5. Before I even finished my sentence she said there was nothing she can do because my reservation was made through Expedia. I was already committed to my reservation so I said fine, no worries. The room was dirty, zero towels in the room. Broken glasses in the cabinet. The pull out couch bed was broken to the point that we had to put 2 chairs at the end of bed/matress to hold it up. Very disappointed. I have pics of the couch.

A nice place to stay for a family

It was a last minute decision to remain overnight on a day trip to Wildwood Crest/Cape May NJ. We needed a two bedroom accommodation and a search led me to El Coronado which happened to have what I needed available. I was comfortable with the choice as I had stayed here once before and liked the place. It was clean, and the woman at the desk, Diana (this was a late check-in) couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. I would not hesitate to stay here again on a longer stay.

Great Hotel as it offers a lot for the money. Some minor negatives not worth commenting about. The parking, however, needs bigger spaces! If the parking improves then I would rate this Hotel a 5! Very cramped parking but still accommodates larger vehicles in different spots. Plan on returning!
