I love the charm of old buildings. This old mansion was built in 1902, and felt comfortable and homey. Rooms were clean and bed comfortable.

Great place to stay - awesome location and street parking was super easy

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!

I really liked how close to the beach it was. Miguels is one of our fav restaurants and is on premises. Parking was $40/night for a garage or you could opt for street parking. For a historic inn it was in pretty good shape and we really enjoyed our stay in the 2 bedroom unit

A bit noisy. The view was of the roof of the restaurant. The room was small with a very big closet.

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

An unusual complex of buildings with rooms leading off the central courtyard which houses various independent small businesses, the hotel pool and Miguel’s restaurant. The reception staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Our room was a one bedroom suite with separate living room, kitchen and dinning area. Surprisingly roomy and contained everything if you need. It is a good location for the shops and restaurants and 3 min walk to the beach

Good location, you can walk right to the beach in 3 minutes. Good price for the area. If you are a sound sleeper, this could be a nice hotel option. Because it's an older hotel the windows are not great at keeping the noise down and it's a very busy area. They did some vacuuming at 6 am which seems a little inconsiderate to me. The staff is very nice.

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.

Is extremely small, no parking in the hotel, all there is a restaurant in the middle of the rooms and we could hear a lot of noise. For a little more you can stat at El coronado. Not recommended
