El Cordova Hotel on Coronado Island

The hotel has a lot of character and charm being an older building, and the room had everything I needed and was perfect for a solo traveler. The staff there and in the neighboring restaurants and businesses were wonderful, and the location was perfect for me- walkable to the beach and the other attractions. I enjoyed my stay!

Location was convenient to dining and shops. Miguel’s and Brigantine Seafood were on the same campus and offered good drinks and food. Excellent service too.

We love the Cordova and its accessibility to shopping, dining, and strolling along the beach. Parking is off-site, but free for first-come, first-served. We didn’t have trouble finding parking off the street for free but we did juggle with timing. Would definitely come back. It’s a bit dated but the location is unbeatable.

Beautiful property within walking distance to beach and restaurants.

The property is very close to the Del where my meeting was so easily walkable. It is a safe area with good local food/coffee. The paid parking was pretty close and convenient at the B of A parking lot ($40 a night). There were some flies and bugs in the room but this is a humid area (not bed bugs). The bed was comfortable. The room had a bit of a moldy smell but not bad. It was very easy to hear stomping foot steps of the people above us when they got back late. They did upgrade us to a suite which was nice of them. The front dest was nice on check in and they did hold our bags for us on the check out day. However, I did note that there often was no one manning the front desk. When we texted for a needed shower cap and to help with the microwave they were quite responsive. Overall an older property that could use some sprucing up but no major complaints...Just not great.

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.

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

Wonderful!

Beautiful property and beautiful rooms. Two minute walk to ocean, restaurants, and shopping. Thank you.

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

Location, Location, Location! Perfect for everything and anything you need while visiting the beach. We love it here!

Spacious rooms with a sitting area. Pool area was ok, nothing exciting for the kids, and no continental breakfasts in the morning.

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.

Excellent resturant attached to the property. Miguel’s. Extremely good food and waitstaff.

Great place!

Best sleep I've had in a hotel maybe ever. Mattress was perfect

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!

Location is fantastic, hotel is historical. Unfortunately there’s no room service so no clean towel. The rooms are rough and has not had an update in a long time. But the location is very good.

2nd stay here, pleasant stay again. Will be back!
