Great value & location!
Excellent location! Near shop’s & restaurants and on the bus line. Cute apartment with kitchen and living room! King bed was really nice. Older unit was charming, but had some quirks. Bath/shower was tricky to use. No handles on the kitchen cabinets made them hard to open. No paper towels, sustainable but not that convenient. Could hear the neighbors above pretty clearly. I would recommend and stay there again.

Overall fine, but could use some improvements.
The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The condition of the room could have been improved, especially for the cost of the stay.
The room I stayed in was one that connected to the next room. The only thing that separated the rooms was a simple chain on the door. The deadbolt was not locked and I could hear everything the woman in the next room said and did as I'm sure she could hear me.
There was a broken shelf in the bathroom and very little counter space for toiletries. Some of the towels also had hair on them from previous guests. They were clean, but someone else's hair was stuck to the towels.
I would have expected some bottled water or something in the room given the cost of the hotel per night. It came with a fridge and microwave, both of which were clean.
The bed was uncomfortable and the pillows were lumpy making it difficult to get to sleep.

Upset at El Cordoba hotel in Coronado Calif.
First of all one car drop off and a lot of traffic going and coming. No one to help you on the curb side you need to go and get the cart for your luggage or wait for one to be available. It’s a very old Hotel that’s been a little up to date. It’s a two level hotel and if your luck you will have a room down stairs. That we didn’t no one will help you to your room and there is no elevator. No wheelchair access and the path way are very narrow. They share the property with a restaurant Miguel’s Mexican food so you will always smell the cooking oils around the property. Our room had a king size bed but you didn’t have room for nothing else. No refrigerator and we took some cold meats and wine to have as we get ready for our party we will attend. We had to throw everything away. There was no room to get ready for two persons as I wanted to put on my makeup and not enough light.The bathroom was so small and the sink you had to wash one hand a time it was like a bird bath. I was very upset about this hotel I will not return. So please read review before reserving.

This is a perfect location. The space was a smidge tight for our family of 4 but the location was worth it. We’d definitely stay again.

Cute hotel. Great location a short walk to the beach, restaurants very close. Bathroom was very small in our room. Also there was no fridge or microwave in room. Parking was available for a fee, but was offsite at a garage in the Bank of America about a block from the hotel.
Overall a nice stay with friendly staff.

Boutiquesque!
Beautiful hotel, more like a boutique hotel with a Spanish theme, in the perfect location. The room was like a small apartment, full kitchen, beautiful living room with view over looking an inner courtyard. We will be going back!

Our 8th stay here was extremely pleasant. Javier at the front desk was very helpful; got us into the room we requested and made sure we were able to get a parking pass. This is the best place to stay on the island and we’ll be staying there until again soon.

Not what not what I expected. Had to carry bags up 15 steps to get to a room that smelled awful.
