Loved our stay at El Cordova Hotel! The on-site restaurant was super convenient, the whole place had a cozy, homey vibe, and we were just minutes from Coronado Beach. Excellent experience all around!

The best thing about this hotel is it is winin walking distance of the Hotel del Mar. The bathrooms are tiny, but it is worth it for the room prices.

We stayed in the Casa Grande Suite for one night. The staff was friendly and the restaurant in the hotel was amazing! Unfortunately the shower in the room did not work at all (thankfully there was a separate claw foot tub, so we made due) and the air conditioning for the side of the suite that had the rooms did not work either.

I love the charm of old buildings. This old mansion was built in 1902, and felt comfortable and homey. Rooms were clean and bed comfortable.

The hotel El Cordova was a jewel. I loved the quaint and historic feeling of this boutique hotel.
The pool was beautiful and the suite we stayed in was roomy, clean and we were able to use the fridge to store some food. Miguel’s Cocina serves delicious food at a very reasonable price. I enjoyed my stay here with the beautiful scenes on the tiles around the property. I felt like I had escaped to Spain. The location was great, close to shopping and the beach. A very walkable area. I would definite back to this hotel and the lovely area of Coronado. 💕

The hotel has a lot of character and charm being an older building, and the room had everything I needed and was perfect for a solo traveler. The staff there and in the neighboring restaurants and businesses were wonderful, and the location was perfect for me- walkable to the beach and the other attractions. I enjoyed my stay!

I really liked how close to the beach it was. Miguels is one of our fav restaurants and is on premises. Parking was $40/night for a garage or you could opt for street parking. For a historic inn it was in pretty good shape and we really enjoyed our stay in the 2 bedroom unit

A bit noisy. The view was of the roof of the restaurant. The room was small with a very big closet.
