Good bedding, big space, reasonable price, prefect location but the property is really old. Basically it is a very good fit for family trip if you are not fasion hotel fans.
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.

Such a fantastic location, walk down the stairs and you’re in the restaurant
The property is charming but tired and in need of maintenance such as loose or missing tiles. Family suites are good. There is a table with 4 chairs and full kitchen. Stairs are very steep on the 2nd floor units. Be careful. Parking is a nightmare.

Staff was excellent. Very responsive and accommodating.
The room needed repairs..bathroom fixtures, lighting, charging. Pool areas was lovely with firepit, tables, chairs and couches.
Great location - in the mix of several shops and restaurants and short walk to the beach. Nicely renovated, comfortable rooms. Staff was great. Worked hard on the upkeep of the common areas, court yard, pool.
Parking was the only headache, if you don’t want to pay for the public garage. You can park at the beach for free during the day and in the residential area off of the hotel at night.
Overall it was a great stay for my family. Would stay again.
Our room appeared to be recently updated and was quiet. I would note that some of the suites require climbing stairs which was not a problem for us but guest should be aware. The hotel is near lots of restaurants within walking distance. And there is a Mexican one onsite that is excellent. I would love to stay here again!
The staff was wonderful, room was spotless. Adorable property so much charm. Right across from beach quick walk. . Easy walking to resturants.Highly recommend.
Property is beautiful with lots of shops all around with plenty of dining options all in walking distance. Highly recommended eating at Miguel’s as they have amazing food and drinks.

Enjoyed our stay, clean well stocked kitchen, fire table in the courtyard with comfortable chairs was awesome. Friendly staff and great location.
Great location, quiet hotel with lovely courtyard areas. Very private room! It would have been nice to have the soaps/lotion refilled to the top before we stayed in the room, but that was such a minor detail! Would stay again.
