This is a great location with a full kitchen. The front desk staff were amazing. However, there was no propane in the grills and it took 2 days for staff to address the issue. The carpet in our room was absolutely filthy and the room seemed rather worn. It looked like other rooms had wooden flooring so it may be just the room we had to unfortunately stay in for that week.

The Good: Great location in Coronado for a reasonable price. Right across the street from the beautiful Hotel Del. Close to lots of restaurants and shopping along Orange Ave. The Bad: Had to switch rooms due to thin walls and noise next door. Some of the rooms are right by/over a Mexican restaurant that closes at 9pm but still noise from staff cleaning and prepping. Parking is a challenge if you don't want to pay $40/day for a garage.
