El Cordova Hotel

Marine Mom Jun 19, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

We went to Coronado, CA to visit my Son whom at the time was staying at the Navy Base. The Hotel was just a short distance ... from there & very convenient. Coronado is beautiful & the hotel location was perfect. Just a short walk from the beach & right across the street from the much more expensive Hotel Coronado. There are a lot of shops to visit & a variety of restaurants, etc all within the same area of the hotel. We booked 1 room at the El Cordova for 2 people but we were furnished with only 1 (queen) bed. Our room (#3) was small & just above the restaurant (Miguel's Cocina) located in the center courtyard at the hotel. It was very noisy. Apparently, business is great at the restaurant with no signs of the struggling economy. It doesn't settle down until after 11:00 PM. The mornings are noisy too as that seems to be cleaning & prep time at the restaurant. The room & hotel was generally clean. Staff & service at the hotel were very hospitable & helpful. I recommend staying at the El Cordova but suggest a room in a different location of the hotel.

This is a lovely boutique hotel in the heart of Coronado, CA 1 block from the Hotel Del and the world famous Coronado beach. ... The hotel itself is wonderful for a family, only 40 rooms--small and quaint. My husband and I had a 1-bedroom suite (hardwood floors and with a full kitchen, stove, fridge, microwave) including all cooking utensils, pots, pans, silverware, etc. and a queen size sofa sleeper in the living room. So if we wanted to have a little party with another couple or our friends just had too much to drink while they were visiting, they could have stayed overnight. What also makes this a great family hotel is the fact that the rooms are all situated around the pool and jacuzzi which makes it easy to keep an eye on your little ones. But our greatest compliment to the property (since we are beach lovers) is the fact that it's right across the street from the beach and we were able to spend a lot of our precious 3-day weekend there at the beach. Plus, the shopping and dining surrounding this hotel like almost in the same building, were numerous, 2 restaurants 3 European bistro type deli's and numerous little boutique type shops.

Would recommend to a friend!

Loved the location of this hotel!! Short walk to many different restraunts and shop, and just a block from the beach. Hotel ... has a lot of personality. Most of the staff were super. It was nice to have a mini appartment. The bed was very comfortable. Our room was looking down at the restraunt waiting area and bar. It did get a little noisy at night, although they closed relatively early. My only complaints were that my wake-up call was late 3 times. Very late. The other was that the light had burnt out at the bottom of our stairs, and my wife fell and sprained her ankle one morning because of this. I spoke with the general manager, he didn't really seem to care. No appology, no offer to pay for the x-rays, no offer to help out with anything. The light was changed however, just to late to prevent what happened to my wife, who is still dealing with a lot of pain and swelling now.

Can't wait to come back

Patricia Sep 20, 2008

Would recommend to a friend!

We stayed during the week in September, so it felt almost as though we had the place to ourselves -- we were surprised to ... find our room was a suite, complete with a kitchen, living room, and large bedroom with a comfy, clean bed. The hotel itself was a historic spanish villa, and the center courtyard contained the pool, hot tub, a patio with gas grills, and a wonderful (and popular!) Mexican restaurant called Miguel's. Since there was cute shopping area surrounding the hotel, we were able to get crepes, rent bicycles, and have a nice dinner all within the hotel grounds. In the day all we needed to do was walk across the street to the beach. And when we returned that night, Miguel's would make us margaritas in plastic cups to take to the pool area. All in all a fantastic vacation, we would go back in a heartbeat!

I thought the hotel was pretty decent, with a pretty cool setup with restaurants, cafes, and gift/rental shops sharing the ... property. It was also a short stroll to the beach and the boardwalk on Coronado. My only complaint, and it is kind of major, was the cleanliness of the room. Everything appeard clean and the maids came by daily but when we first got in our room, I started opening drawers (just in case someone left a stack of cash).
