Returned again to El Coronado this summer and had a wonderful time. We had the same 2 bedroom unit we had last year which is oceanfront with a gorgeous view - worth the $$; it's like being in the tropics with that gorgeous beach. The only thing I'd suggest is an upgrade on the carpeting, it's getting worn. People seem... More

Just returned from a weekend to Wildwood Crest for the new Halloween Happenings at Morey's piers. We have stayed at this hotel on 4 separate occasions, each time different room with absolutely no problems or complaints. Our first trip in May was a gift to my husband by his children and we stayed 2 nights with breakfast included. It was... More

Friends have been coming for years and years and had highly recommended it, so met up with them at El Coronado for a great weekend. Absolutely no complaints! We were in a room "EEE" suite and the ONLY suggestion I can make for management is that... More

Was there for a long weekend recently and took my parents as a gift. After checking in and unpacking noticed the rooms were warm so turned on a/c and went out till they cooled down. Returned hours later only to find sweltering hot rooms. Called the front desk only to be told that the 5th and 6th floors were having... More

Having attempted to pacify this guest on his valid complaints (like my pool heater having "blown out" from the hurricane and the lack of hotel manpower on our reopening on his check-in date), I must state that I do not appreciate this customers threats of negitive internet notices if he didn't receive a 1/3rd refund because he was only 2/3rd's...

When I was a kid my family went to Wildwood Crest every summer and stayed across the street. I know the El Coronado very well, and decided to stay there with my family since the old hotel was sold and made into condos. We stayed there last year and loved it, and again felt the same this year. Family consisted... More

Hotel staff are very unfriendly and just plain rude. Especially night staff women which is real nasty. Been here three days and so far had a power outage and two false fire alarms each at 12am. False alarms that are creating a public danger for hotel guests and public by taking emergency personnel away from real emergencies. No towels in... More

We own a water remediation,professional cleaning,fire restoration and home improvement business. So let's start with the dirty walls. It didn't seem to be mold but how the walls got so dirty is mind boggling. They were absolutely gross.The carpet was so grossly stained, it desperately needs to be replaced. The couches were so old and disgusting, we bought towels just... More
