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. 💕
thumbs up from the guys about the hotel.

No high end experience

I was under the impression that this was a high end hotel due to the cost and photos. I was disappointed in the appearance of the room. Bedroom was tiny with door hitting into bed. Bathroom also tiny. Room was located in front corner of hotel. Street and pedestrian noise. Pool was nice and clean but little to no room around the pool. Restaurants kitchen door opened only 4 ft from swimming pool. There being a restaurant in the middle of the hotel felt odd. Having people dine right next to the pool felt strange. Good location but not a very nice hotel.

The picture is not at all what it looks like. We were very disappointed. It’s old, no elevators and the stairs are so steep, it’s dangerous. You’re in the middle of a restaurant, absolutely not worth the $700 price tag for a weekend!

Good location, you can walk right to the beach in 3 minutes. Good price for the area. If you are a sound sleeper, this could be a nice hotel option. Because it's an older hotel the windows are not great at keeping the noise down and it's a very busy area. They did some vacuuming at 6 am which seems a little inconsiderate to me. The staff is very nice.

An unusual complex of buildings with rooms leading off the central courtyard which houses various independent small businesses, the hotel pool and Miguel’s restaurant. The reception staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Our room was a one bedroom suite with separate living room, kitchen and dinning area. Surprisingly roomy and contained everything if you need. It is a good location for the shops and restaurants and 3 min walk to the beach
