Top San Diego Coast Hotel Reviews

Coronado Inn

Coronado Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Rooms were smaller than expected with a small couch. I tried to upgrade to 2 queens and a sofa bed for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. I couldn’t upgrade and it was understandable. Labor day weekend. I did not expect coronado being a beach community but beautiful. Safe and lots to do being a small community. Smoking laws are enforced so look into that. Pool was clean, street parking was 1-2 blocks away but just follow the posted signs. I got parking on my last day. Had one guest double park on my assigned spot. Management fixed it within 10-15 mins. Used the pool and bicycles that are free to use."
