This is the first time my husband and I stayed at the Coronado Inn. It's a small hotel, that comes across as more of a small specialized hotel. It's more of a motel.
I'll start with the good. It's right on Orange Ave, with great access to restaurants and shopping. The free summer shuttle stops a block away that goes to downtown and to the beach. And it's only a couple of blocks from the ferry landing. The room was small, but very clean. The staff was friendly and accommodating. There is a simple free breakfast in the morning. The pool area is small and facing the street, something I didn't care for. It's also one of the cheapest places to stay on Orange Ave.
Now on to why I only gave the Coronado Inn 3 stars. Our bathroom was in desperate need of remodeling. It had a lot of dry rot. Right in front of the shower, under the linoleum the floor was so rotten it was spongy. My husband said someone with a lot of weight could possibly, cause the shower pan to fall through to the crawl space, it was so bad. There was only one sink, with a loose faucet. The air conditioner had to be run all night, because the walls were very thin, and we could here the couple next door caring on a normal conversation. It is a old hotel. The parking is limited, a couple nights we had to park on the street.
It did earn the 3 stars because the location is so perfect, and the staff so nice...This is a hotel, that is for families or couples who only need a place to shower and sleep...And it is pet friendly.
