We have enjoyed numerous stays at the El Cordova. The room we had this trip had some cleanliness issues including grungy bath floors & dirt build up on baseboards. The only towel bar was broken. They need to take room 118 out of service for a deep clean.

I needed them to provide a receipt for the local taxes they charged. I forgot to collect it at the time I paid. They refused to provide the receipt and didn't respond to repeated inquiries.

Be careful with this place. Their so called guest parking is a BofA parking structure two blocks away, and they don’t control capacity of dedicated spaces for paying guests. We arrived at hotel (nice enough for price), and were told that they didn’t have available parking. Unfortunately was the repeated word.

They make you pay a courtesy fee, even if you don’t use the amenities. No parking except for a small parking structure where other people take the parking.

This property surprised us. Clean, well-managed, and very well situated hotel across the street from the Hotel del Coronado. The room was spacious, clean, and had a small kitchen, which made our day! It is an old property lacking some accessibility options. The wi-fi is also very spotty, necessitating and room change. Otherwise, this was a very nice property we would stay at again.
