This was my second time staying at the El Cordova. Its location is amazing. The property is charming and well maintained. I booked a suite as I like to have a kitchen and cook some meals while travelling. The kitchen has the basics for cookware but as this was my second time I knew to bring my own salt pepper, spices and oil. I will definitely be staying here again and highly recommend this property.

It was a good location close to shops and restaurants and such, but the room we got was so tiny! For the price we paid to not even be able to turn around in the shower-and I am a very petite person and it was very very small. The bathroom was like 5 square feet, if someone sat on the toilet their feet could reach out and touch the shower.

Historic hotel. Fabulously location on Coronado Island with great restaurants and shopping. Beach across the street. Room with kitchen and separate bedroom. A bit worn because of age but adds to the charm.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Older Hotel is in a great location. It could use some maintenance and landscaping. The hotel restaurant is literally right in the middle of the property. There is a supply storage right near the pool and vendors and employees were constantly in and out. We were advised of the ongoing construction with them extending the restaurant but weren’t prepared for the truck parked right outside our window in room 51 at 4:00 am unloading materials. Overall the room was spacious and clean. The outside area and landscaping coukd be tidied up. Parking is offsite a few blocks away for a fee.
