Historic Coronado Motor Hotel by OYO

This is tough. I wanted to love my stay and many things were great! Let's start there. Bed was comfy as could be and zero signs of bed bugs! I even got upgraded to a king size by the kind lady at the front desk. Loved it! Room was spacious. It had a desk, office chair, comfortable sitting chair, dresser, 2 nightstands, decent sized TV, microwave, refrigerator, a big closet, everything you expect to find in a room, dispensers full of soap, lotion, body wash, shampoo, and the bathroom was a great size with a jetted tub. Should have been amazing! Unfortunately, it's all very run down. Very old, very dirty, broken furnishings, etc. The tub was plugged and full of standing water from the constant dripping of the faucet (decided against using the jetted tub), the toilet handle was so broken it was hanging off, the shelving in the bathroom was broken in half, the room was missing the smoke detector and left exposed wiring, and the carpet had wet spots. The hotel is also in a less than desirable neighborhood. My problem for not checking first! There was also NO seal around the door so all the heat, cigarette smoke, and noise were also present inside. Super disappointed when there is SO much potential here. Would not return for another stay.

An iconic historical motel it’s like a bed sleeping over in a bed-and-breakfast versus a modern day chain hotel. Each room had like two rooms with a shared bathroom, spacious and clean. The breakfast was a nice touch to start your day.

So much of this place was just so wrong, but somehow we absolutely loved it. We specifically booked this hotel because we rented an electric car in Phoenix & believed this hotel to have a charging station. It does not. Similarly, I try to choose hotels that have pools, but this one does not. VERY FRUSTRATING, as both the 3rd-party booking site we used AND the hotel's own published information show both of these amenities. The hotel is very dated, & the need for cosmetic repairs & updates were apparent almost everywhere one looked. Also, the thin walls & the proximity to such a busy street meant an excess of ambient noise. Breakfast consisted of bagels, bread, prepackaged muffins, instant oatmeal, cold cereal, & yogurt; orange juice was available some mornings, but not all.||But, there was so much good here, we decided to overlook the other things, & I'm really glad we did. The lovely human at the front desk sensed my frustration about the lack of a charging station, & upgraded us to a kitchenette room. We didn't really want or need a kitchen, but since we were there for 6 nights, we really grew to appreciate having a big refrigerator & a kitchen fully stocked with utensils & appliances. I used the toaster & the microwave every single day, & it was nice to have real coffee cups instead of the paper/styrofoam ones that are typical of hotels. The room & the grounds were clean. Some of the other guests weren't particularly tidy, but all messes were gone by the next morning. The room itself was super-clean, even with its dated carpet & older furniture. Our room itself had two easy chairs and a desk, so we could spread out & feel comfortable. The shower was heavenly (great water pressure!) & they use refillable dispensers for body wash & shampoo. Most of the ambient noise could be cancelled out by running the fan on our in-room AC unit. the outside seating area was an extra bonus & we spent most evenings right outside our room door. We even met the new owners (or maybe only managers?) tending to the bougainvillea one evening. The location is great, with a grocery store & a couple of restaurants within a stone's throw. The bars & restaurants of the historic Main Street/downtown area is about a mile away. The Colorado River State Historic Park (Yuma Crossing Discovery Center) & access it I-8 are only about half mile away. We had a different housekeeper every day, & they were all just lovely. We requested not to have housekeeping service every day, but every morning they checked on our supply of clean towels & coffee, & emptied our trash cans. ||So, yes, this is definitely an older hotel, deep in the "budget" category, & yes, I was pissed that the advertised pool & charging station were not available, but our overall experience here was fabulous & the price was well worth the value we received.

Positive: Very good room price for this historic motel. It's been at this location forever. A combination of good price & decent place but not fancy. Negative: Walls are thin so a little noisy. Needs some remodeling which the new owners are doing.

Positive: Location was good. Negative: The hotel room was dirty. The shower drain was plugged so I contacted the front desk & they chose to assign me a different room, when I returned to the hotel they had assigned someone else my new room. They then assigned another room. It was also dirty.

We travel to Yuma so often for my husbands work and have stayed at so many of the hotels but none were as good as this one. The pictures on the website always made me think it was old and run down but it’s actually not at all.||||It’s not the ‘fanciest’ or anything like that, but it has everything you need, the rooms are big, the beds are really comfy and the air conditioning works really well.||||They have rooms with whole kitchens so you can cook proper meals while you stay there.||||We did have a few issues over the course of the years but they’ve always been handled really well by the staff there. ||||We always stay here now every time we are in Yuma. I highly recommend it.

Positive: I like the location. I like staff who works at the main desk. Negative: Our room had black out curtains with holes in them. Our room was never cleaned while we were there. We had to ask for new towels because none were delivered. If it is up to the guest to request room cleaning and new sheets, there should be an indicaator

Beware!!!!!!! No pool no hot tub. You'll be kept up by the people that live there. Sinks do not drain. No soap to shower with. Window panes taped in. Reserved multiple rooms and could not figure out how to split them. Over all not a good experience. But if you do decide to stay definitely go nextdoor to the Landing. Great place with great food.
