Great location, you are 2 min walk from the beautiful beach and walking distance anywhere in the island with so many coffee shops restaurants etc around, it’s very old hotel but that give it a charm! The water in the sink and shower stinks and the cleaning could be better, we had a great time though and our flat had 2 bedroom and 3 bathroom so convenient for families

Ice machine was broken, pool was out of order. There were so many mosquitos in the area that were making their way into our room through the window ac unit. We killed about 15 mosquitos and still ended up with bite marks in the morning. Very disappointing stay, especially for the price and in Coronado, Ca.

A Perfect Home Away in the Heart of Coronado

My wife and I stayed at the hotel for over four weeks while in transition for an overseas deployment, and it truly felt like a home away from home. The location couldn't have been better—right in the heart of Coronado, within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and local attractions. The staff and management were exceptionally friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with anything we needed during our extended stay. Their hospitality made a stressful time much more comfortable. We strongly recommend this hotel for both short and long stays. Thank you for the outstanding service!

Great location, old room

Location is fantastic, hotel is historical. Unfortunately there’s no room service so no clean towel. The rooms are rough and has not had an update in a long time. But the location is very good.

The property had a “charm” to it as others have stated. But, that also means it was old, and in disrepair. The bathroom is small (can’t close the door easily while in the bathroom, and there was a funky odor (maybe Febreeze used to cover up other smells). So, if romance is on your agenda, I would not recommend this hotel, unless this is your thing. Not bad pricing for the area, and its proximity to the beach. However, be aware that the parking on the adjacent street is 2 hours only, and the signs were not clearly lit at nighttime. The staff didn’t let us know, and the next day, we ended up with a $60 ticket. Also, we had to wait about 20 mins to check in because no one was at the front desk when we arrived.

For many years what I'm stay in this property (25 years) condition going down. AC wasn't work proper, battery in remote dead, trap in shower not fixed and when you step on going out, screen on window not fixed and going out and when wind knock to windows. All doors creaking etc. Probably no body care about in this property. They expect what people will pay for location. I'm was disappointment and leave property day before. And front desk was not show interest when I'm explain the reason what I'm leaving early. They not care about at all.
