Very cute hotel, lots of history to share and learn. Friendly family staff. It was quiet and very comfortable. Easy to call them direct and book great prices and close to restaurants

Like stepping back in time to a San Diego from long long ago.

8.0

loved the historic vibe. Black and white framed prints of "old" San Diego line the halls. Instead of room numbers, all the rooms are named after famous San Diego neighborhoods. I stayed in the Del Coronado! My room was spacious,. clean and comfortable. Very "old school" hotel vibe. Could picture Dashiel Hammett staying here on his way back from a bender in Tijuana.

− The coffee. Taster's Choice? Seriously? Ha ha there's a great coffee roaster right now the street,. I'm sure they'd LOVE for you to feature their coffee in your lobby for guests!

Perfect for what we needed it for, we would stay again.

Felt safe, it’s historic and unique, prime location, affordable.

− Old smell in rooms, creaky, needs minor touch ups, but that is a given because it’s literally old.
