The room was spotless and the beds were very comfortable! The staff was so helpful and it was one of the best stays I've ever had - what a hidden gem in Coronado for a great price and a very comfortable stay! The beds and bedding were 4 to 5 star hotel quality! Looks like the rooms and bathrooms have been recently renovated - like new!

This location can’t be beat. It’s like summer camp in the city with a fun porch in front to watch people and tables in back to eat outside if you’d like. The beds are comfy, and the accommodations are quaint. We made use of the beach chairs in an easy jaunt to the bay.
