My family made booking a suite at El Cordova an annual thing since finding it several years ago. The property, the staff, the rooms, the price -- everything was great and there was no reason to stay elsewhere. This past Thanksgiving our experience was quite the opposite. Hot tub was broken (and had been for a long time) but they didn't notify us in advance as other hotels do. We had a cockroach in our kitchen, told the front desk and they were rude and did nothing. Beds were uncomfortable. Kitchen was understocked. I wrote to the manager after to provide our report and he offered a free night's stay, which we accepted, but a certificate wasn't provided and he's been ignoring our attempts at communication ever since. Truly one of the worst overall experiences we've had in years. We'll never go here again and we've been telling all our friends to avoid it. We'd even sent out texts and emails specifically to recommend and help promote this place. Shame, because we loved and looked forward to staying here.

Very comfortable, apartment like setting with full kitchen living room desk and bedroom. Beautiful setting big gas fire pit out in the quad area also a pool heated pool I think. Mexican restaurant hadt great service great foodRooms: If you're on the second floor the stairs up to those rooms are extremely steep so if you have any mobility issues make sure you get a the first floor and there's still a few steps there but just make noteWalkability: Great location there are lots of shopping boutiques and cafes to get coffee and food nice restaurant Mexican restaurant right in that hotel that had excellent service and the food wasNoteworthy details: There is a no smoking ordinance so if you smoke its a potential ticket. There are unofficial furious to smoke

What a fantastic experience. Derek at the front desk was so accommodating and so kind. The rooms are fantastic and the location cannot be beat. 5 stars all around.

Disappointed for the noise of the hotel. There is a Mexican restaurant downtown the hotel right on the back and you can hear a lot of people speaking while you are trying to sleep. While the restaurant is about to close the waitresses put music very loud l had to call the restaurant and ask them to put the music down and l called the reception at the hotel explaining the situation. Room are nice but very crowded at night. No quite during the day and night. Trying to sleep but l can't. I was asking for a quiete room since l had a very long flight to come here. Very crowded and not cheap por night.

Staying at El Cordova felt like stepping back in time to earlier days in So. California. Lots of great restaurants on site and our room was very comfortable. Coronado Beach is just two blocks away.

This hotel was the cutest and most quaint place we’ve stayed in a long time. It was like a little town with shops and restaurants nestled in a city. It had such a Spanish feel - they upgraded us to a suite for our anniversary. We had a small balcony for 2 where we could people watch.

Overall very good. Great location near beach and numerous restaurants and bars. Very easy to get to. Parking situation not the greatest but we were able to find free parking on the residential streets. Hotel room was nice and comfortable. Had a small issue with one of the AC units making excessive noise and was told someone would fix it but never happened. Was also told I'd receive an email with final bill and have not yet received one.

The Hotel is perfect. The bed was heavenly. And James was very helpful. Excellent service and stay. Beautiful Spanish decor. Walking just a half a block to the beautiful beach. Two very excellent restaurants.

Great aparthotel near the Del and minutes from the beach and shops, cafes. Free overnight on street parking and close to a bus stop for Downtown. The slightly heated pool was great and not busy, the laundry faclilities a godsend. Quirky in that suites/apartments are beside or above shops and a restaurant but none the worse for that - would happily stay again

We arrived late on Wednesday evening. I appreciated the communication via text by a human, not auto generated, inquiring if we were to arrive. Upon arrival, the guest service agent was helpful and kind. He showed us to our room and was more than accommodating. I absolutely love the Spanish style villa and the courtyards. This hotel possesses a beautiful historic architecture and a safe and clean environment. We really enjoyed the ease of access to delicious eateries and cocktails at Miguel’s & Brigantine. The pool area was enjoyable as well as the common seating areas in the courtyard. Very quaint, quiet, and peaceful atmosphere throughout the property. Not to mention the perfect location to the beach and endless options for shopping and dining. All the staff was great and I continued the ease of communication via text messages for little things needed such as coffee. We were granted a late check out with no issues or concerns, and was thanked upon departure from the hotel for staying there via text message. I appreciate the personal communication and commitment to their guests experience. We would love to visit again very soon to take advantage of everything else this property has to offer their guests.

My partner and I had the opportunity to stay 2 nights at the charming El Cordova Hotel on Coronado Island. This historic landmark is perfectly centralized within walking distance to 5 star restaurants, beaches and scenic landscapes. Although this unique Mediterranean boutique hotel is placed in the heart of Coronado, it somehow remains quiet and tranquil with immaculate landscaping, beautiful fountains and romantic quart yards.At check in, I was greeted by hotel manager Derrick, who personally made sure our stay was memorable. He anticipated every need we may have with refined touches and professionalism. The alluring El Cordova Hotel left an impression and hopefully will become a tradition, as it provided an unforgettable experience for my love and I.Rooms: Clean and comfortableNearby activities: Better Buzz coffee is a must. Also Bueno ForcettaSafety: Quiet and secureWalkability: Everything you need is within walking distance.Noteworthy details: Gorgeous details around the property

Great family trip to San Diego! Hotel was walking distance to the beach and restaurants! Very good night sleep for all. Amenities were good. The vibe was romantic and location inside the El Cordova commercial plazza was fine
