Although this kind of property is not going to be right for every traveler to San Diego, if you are looking for a clean, comfortable, spacious room with basic amenities (i.e., you don't mind a TV that is not flat screen), a gracious and helpful staff, and a great location in the heart of the island at a very reasonable price, you will enjoy this place. I rate it a solid 4 not because it's the fanciest or most convenient (no on-site restaurant, for instance), but because for its class and price range it scored very well in my book, and I travel a fair amount for both work and pleasure. The basic, complimentary continental breakfast had fresh fruit and good coffee. Parking is a bit restricted, so those with a rental car may have to street park at times. Desk staff was super friendly and helpful, especially when I got stranded across town and needed their help in getting a cab.

We were visiting San Diego from Australia and really just wanted somewhere comfortable to stay away from the main tourist areas. The Coronado Inn fit the bill perfectly.

Yes, it is a little aged & yes it can be a little noisy on a weekday morning, but it makes up for it with Service, location and price. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the provided Continental Breakfast is fine to keep away any hunger pains until lunch time. The free, chilled, bottled water is also a great bonus which we used frequently during our stay.

The inn is within very easy walking distance of the Coronado - San Diego ferry and a number of restaurants, supermarket and fast food establishments.

The room that we had was a good size & was clean and comfortable.

Very happy with our stay here. If you want a 5 star hotel experience...you will need to pay for it and go somewhere else. If you are happy with a clean, comfortable room and good service at just over $100 a night then this is the place for you.

Apparently this is a less costly property in price inflated Coronado, but it really isn't any great bargain. Our room was small, had noisy AV/heater combination unit that has limited usefulness. When I arose to sounds as if I were camping along I-5, I realized that the Coronado Inn is very close to the main road into the military base! like 4-5 lanes of cars whizzing by from 5AM on. (hadn't been apparent when we checked in as the directional traffic wasn't passing then).
It's OK-might stay there again to save money, but would prefer a quieter room. Location very handy, easy walk down to the bay . nice part of town--not hustle bustle as near the 'Del'.

I was fortunate to have an extended stay at this cozy, quiet, clean, and quaint hotel. The proximity to the NBC (Naval Base Coronado) was a primary concern choosing this property. Yet after staying here for three weeks the property turned into something much better than a close local to the base. Great and friendly service at the front desk (available 24hrs), free internet, complimentary breakfast, and beverage service with snacks all day.

The staff was as friendly as one could get and they strive to become on a first name basis with all guests. Conveniently located within walking distance of the ferry to San Diego, eating / drinking establishments, super markets, and a deli. All I can say is that next time in Coronado try this lovely family owned hotel.
