    great location
    excessive parking fee

    We had an awesome group trip! We visited the famous beaches and Balboa Park using our Hop-on, Hop-off Trolley Tour passes. The one-bedroom suite was cozy and had a little kitchen to prepare our meals. The location is perfect—close to everything we needed, and the staff were super helpful throughout our stay.

    Unfortunately, the parking situation was a bit frustrating. While they improved it, the nightly fee of $40 felt excessive. It would have been nicer if parking was included with the room price.

    beautiful courtyard
    spacious suite

    I loved the beautiful courtyard with the fire table and comfy patio furniture, perfect for evening drinks. Our suite was spacious, and having a kitchenette made it feel like home. The hot tub was a great bonus after a day at the beach! The location was unbeatable, just steps from the beach and the historic hotel.

    The charm of our one-bedroom suite was truly exceptional! It felt like a cozy home away from home, but the bathroom was quite tiny. Overall, a lovely stay! 😊

    would love to stay here again

    The one-bedroom suite was spacious and well-equipped with a kitchen, refrigerator, and microwave. The hot tub was great for relaxing, and the outdoor swimming pool was lovely. Just a block to the beach made it super easy for fun in the sun. Loved the vibe and local dining at Miguel's Cocina nearby.

    charming courtyard
    cozy atmosphere
    close proximity
    parking issues

    Charming courtyard with a pool offers a relaxing space, while the rustic Spanish-style decor creates a cozy atmosphere worth appreciating. Close proximity to Coronado Beach allows for quick access to sandy shores, making outings seamless and enjoyable.

    Parking can be a hassle, with metered spots often hard to find and pricey at $40 per night, which may feel excessive. Noise levels from the nearby restaurant can disrupt sleep, especially if you’re in a lower room. Some rooms exhibit tight layouts with quirky designs, particularly awkward bathroom arrangements that could feel cramped. Kitchen supplies often don’t meet expectations, requiring extra requests for basic items.

    great location

    Couples looking for a cozy retreat

    The staff were sooo friendly, it felt like they were part of some secret operation just to. And man, the location was spot on, a quick stroll to the beach and those restaurants. Yeah, I could get used to this kind of luxury.

    It wasn't exactly a bargain, but I still think it was reasonable for what you got.

    beautiful courtyards
    lack of elevator

    The atmosphere was charming, with beautiful courtyards and

    An inviting pool area. Our one-bedroom suite was spacious, featuring a full kitchen. the lack of an elevator made it challenging with luggage. a lovely stay that made our getaway special.

    great location with lively atmosphere

    The hotel had a charming atmosphere that made my stay enjoyable I particularly liked the short walk to the beach that offered a relaxing escape. Another highlight was the variety of restaurant options nearby which made dining out easy and fun.

    It was a little harder to to/from the convention center than I was anticipating
