My wife and I stayed here for two nights as a gift from a friend, and we had a great time. The room was clean but quaint with lots of Spanish tile and windows overlooking a shaded courtyard. We had a perfect room surrounded by a carpeted stairwell on one side, and an emergency exit on the other--so no noisy... More

Coronado is very nice place to stay and close to the city.El Cordova is a large property convenient to shopping, eateries and only... More

Three professional colleagues and I spend four nights at the El Cordova to attend a seminar at the Del Coronado, which is nice but expensive and pretentious with unpredictable room assignments that have led to disappointment in the past. El Cordova was delightful, with comfortable rooms, unique decor, and convenient cafes nearby. We had crepes, Mexican food and drink, and... More

We booked online for $89 and got placed in room 103. To say we were surprised by the size is an understatement. It is about the size of a small apartment. Bedroom had 4-point king size mattress with flat screen tv. Living room was huge, wih wall mounted flat screen, reading nook by window and pullout couch. It had a... More

The village of Coronado is a wonderful place to visit, especially if you need a sunny destination for the holidays. We decided to try the El Cordova because of the good Trip Advisor reviews and the advertized winter rate of $99 per night for a one bedroom suite. Upon arrival the room we were first given was a very sub-par... More

I also believe that... More

There is a Mexican restaurant right in the middle of the Hotel so if you dont like people or noise, you may... More

We are locals who are regulars to Coronado. This was our girl's getaway. We had a 1 bedroom suite which was recently renovated. It was very spacious, and had a small kitchen that worked well for us. One note is that it is a small, not regular sized fridge, so not enough space for a family for groceries for a... More

The atmosphere was beatuful and quaint. The decor of the room went well with the feel of the hotel. We had plenty of room in the 1 bedrrom suite and it felt like we were in a private residence. In fact, it was bigger than one of our apartments! The staff helped us and were very attentive to our needs.... More
