We REALLY enjoyed this B&B. If you are thinking 5 star hotel, don't. It's a great quality bed and breakfast with fine appointments. If I could give 4.5 stars I would, The ladies that tun the place are helpful and friendly. The place is VERY clean, and the location is fantastic.

The lodge is on a residential block perfectly located by all the main restaurants and extremely close to the Hotel del Coronado. We went and looked at every place to stay while at Coronado (except the Lowe's which is very far away from everything), and we concluded the 906 Lodge is the best place on the island.

Another good one is the Marriott, but it's on the Bay side (and not as quaint). We explored the Hotel Del Coronado (and have stayed there in the past) and we would prefer staying at the 1906 Lodge. The Hotel Del is old and kinda creepy. Nice to visit and eat there, but not stay (in our opinion). The Hotel Del is always so crowded. Not our thing.

The 1906 Lodge...just know what you are getting into. They have some rules that are unlike hotels. I added a night and changed rooms on the phone (before we came) and they charged $25 for the change.?? Also, they charged my credit card I used to hold the room, but I wished to pay with another (business) card. "Impossible." "It is our policy that once we charge a card, we cannot give a refund." My thought was..what if they accidentally placed an extra "0" on the charge? Is it really impossible to credit and recharge? I don't think so. This is the Lodge's policy, and Denise was just following instructions. It just seemed a little restrictive, instead of "make the customer happy". Especially on something so easy.

Also, we needed an early check-in, which they accommodated... for $25. My wife checked in at 1:45 (while I was still in a conference), but at 3:00 there would not have been a charge. No one was in the room, so the fee is confusing. For example, we checked into the Hyatt across the bay a few days before at 10:00 AM.... "no problem sir since we have a room ready" (and no fee).

No big deal, I will just adjust and get it correct with my company back home. In no way did I let this hurt my trip or stay (as you can see by my rating).

We loved the tranquil environment, water fountains bubbling outside our open windows, the large bathtub, the fireplace you can turn on with a switch, and the breakfasts were a nice touch.

Quaint is the word. If we travel back to Coronado, this will be our place.

The staff was amazing! They were helpful. The breakfast (which i did not realize was included in the price) was the best stuffed french toast ever!! They do the small things that make you feel like home such as leaving a tiara and noise maker and other candy for new year's eve!! Wine every night at 5-6pm. The rooms are absolutely beautiful! I recommend a suite but one of the studies was nice too--it had 2 shower heads (one in the ceiling and one in the wall) so you stay warm wherever in the shower and makes it great for 2 to share!! Definitely would go back!!

My husband and I spent our honeymoon at 1906 Lodge and could not have been happier with the choice. Everything was as advertised or better. The service was outstanding from start to finish - and not just your average good service. By the time our stay was over we had gotten to know the staff and received a ton of personal recommendations, advice, and just genuine interest.

The accommodations were very clean and well kept, had a great location and were well-designed - basically exactly as advertised. I would recommend this bed and breakfast (and stay there again) in a heartbeat.

I was in Coronado for an event with my (adult) children.

1) The Lodge would, however, be an excellent choice for a romantic getaway - the rooms were beautiful with huge tubs, fireplaces and extremely comfortable beds. The kids got a kick out of the dual fireplace and the fact that you could soak in the gigantic tub will watching the fire.

2) The location cannot be beat. If you do not know your way around Coronado, just trust me and stay here. If you do, this inn is a block off Orange Ave and you can see the Del from the front. That means walking distance to basically anything you want to do on the Island - a block from the beach, a block from the bulk of the restaurants, the movie theatre, etc. Even though Coronado is small, location matters and places like the Lowes and the Marriot resort are far from the center of the village and all the "action"

3) The prices are reasonable for what you get, considering you are in the heart of Coronado. There really ARE no comparable rooms at the chain hotels, or even at the Del (although there are other reasons to stay there I suppose). My advice - stay here in one of the beautiful, large and unique rooms and walk over to the Del to check out the scene.

The only thing to be aware of, and you know, I say this since I am from San Francisco, and you may be too: the rooms are very military/americana themed. I stayed in the North Island room which had a Navy aviation theme and the kids stayed in the Stars room, which was stars and stripes everywhere. Very cool from my point of view, but ymmv depending on your politics. But, then, why would you be in Coronado, I suppose...
