We loved staying at the El Cordova Hotel. The general manager greeted us on our first day. Everyone was friendly. The two-bedroom suite was perfect! We had a wonderful time, and the location is perfect for spending time on Coronado Island, where we were minutes away from everything we wanted to do.

Unreliable and Unresponsive – Avoid at All Costs

I booked and prepaid weeks in advance for a visit to see a recovering family member. I confirmed a late check-in on the day of arrival, but when I showed up after midnight, I was told my reservation was canceled as a “no-show” and was asked to pay again for the same room. The staff was unhelpful and refused to even look up my reservation. Despite repeated attempts, I’ve received no refund or response. I would not trust this business.

Property was full of character and was surprisingly pretty big, the beach was super close it was just the smell of chemicals in the room that made It a a little uncomfortable at first but after airing out the room for bit it became Less noticeable, being that this was an older hotel you had to expect something right? Parking was a breeze as well! Would come back if I was just needing a place to crash

Great location, you are 2 min walk from the beautiful beach and walking distance anywhere in the island with so many coffee shops restaurants etc around, it’s very old hotel but that give it a charm! The water in the sink and shower stinks and the cleaning could be better, we had a great time though and our flat had 2 bedroom and 3 bathroom so convenient for families

Ice machine was broken, pool was out of order. There were so many mosquitos in the area that were making their way into our room through the window ac unit. We killed about 15 mosquitos and still ended up with bite marks in the morning. Very disappointing stay, especially for the price and in Coronado, Ca.

A Perfect Home Away in the Heart of Coronado

My wife and I stayed at the hotel for over four weeks while in transition for an overseas deployment, and it truly felt like a home away from home. The location couldn't have been better—right in the heart of Coronado, within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and local attractions. The staff and management were exceptionally friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with anything we needed during our extended stay. Their hospitality made a stressful time much more comfortable. We strongly recommend this hotel for both short and long stays. Thank you for the outstanding service!
