Top San Diego Coast Hotel Reviews

Coronado Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great location and we had a wonderful time. The room was clean and as described; a fun space to spend time, with a nice kitchenette. It was nice to have access to the nearby resort with a free shuttle and we enjoyed hanging out at the pools of the other resort! It just wasn't completely clear that the pools were at a different resort in the original listing, but it ended up being very nice. All the staff were very kind and attentive!"

Glorietta Bay Inn Coronado Island

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived early due to flying in, we planned on just leaving our luggage until our room is ready, but they had our room available when we got there and checked us in. Anytime we went to the lobby. They knew us by name we didn't have to give our room number. They left a note in the room for my daughter's birthday with a bag of goodies and a guest of the day sign. It is a great location. We would definitely stay there again."

El Cordova Hotel on Coronado Island

8/10 Good

"I loved this quaint hotel that is very old and filled with history, and it has a Miguel's restaurant right in the middle of the courtyard along with a number of small shops and businesses around the perimeter. Unfortunately, the check in staff did not fill us in on the wonderful perks you get when booking here...Free appetizers at Miguel's or Brigantine, hotel canteen allowance and other local discounts that I did not find out about until the morning we were checking out. We did get to enjoy an appetizer with our breakfast, but would have been nice to get that info at check in. Our room was compact, but the bed was comfortable and the room had all we needed. The in-room was coffee was actually quite good! The only other downside was the air conditioner unit was very loud and rattled when running, but was much needed during the local heatwave so we kept it on. This did make it a little challenging to sleep. Overall a good stay and I'm sure we'll go back again and plan more time to enjoy the local vibe!"
