Clean and Small Motel, 10 Rooms

Price and cleanliness excellent; no human service but very efficient check in, if you had directions and explanations on i phone or text. Code to open lobby door, and key very visable, so easy to locate room, as only 10. Charming motel with outside seating but no amenities inside. Check out easy, but again, no human contact. One overnight was adequate for convenience and price.

It was lovely. It would have been more helpful to have information about the logistics of the property, i.e. on staff on site etc. however, it did not overly impact our stay in any way. We would certainly stay again. Rooms are small, best for 1-2 people.

Conference venue option

Practical space for attending the San Diego Convention Centre. 3 block walk to ferry and then you're dropped off at the vonvention centre. Room was clean and comfortable. Self check in and check out was smooth. I presume there are staff someehere but I never met any!

Very cute and Convenient

We loved the location! We are walkers, so walkable to both the Ferry Landing and shops /restaurants. Very happy with the DIY services. Easy access to towels, coffee, ect. Great water pressure in shower!!! Our room was tiny, but patios are very nice.

The lights wete dirty, cobwebs hanging, the shower door didn’t slide correctly, the window coverings didn't block the outside light from coming in while trying to sleep. The eooms were put together very cheap. The outside of the room was nice and clean and walkway was easy to maneuver for our blind daughter.

Just Okay!

The stay was fine. The pillows are not great. The shower had no pressure and took a long time to get hot water. The maid came one day but left a dirty coffee cup. I probably would not stay there again but if you are looking to stay on Coronado Island its affordable.
