The availability of several restaurants for different palates for different ages is a big plus. We tried Serea and it didn't fail. The service was excellent and the food was really good, fresh fish was super tasty, no fishy taste. We had gelato and it was soft and creamy, tasty! The availability of a smoothie trailer was a big plus? It was so healthy and the servings were huge. This hotel has many places to sit and enjoy the ocean view. The proximity to yhe beach was also a good good perk! All in all, a wonderful experience. We spent the whole weekend here, didn't leave the hotel as there was plenty to do. Great place to take the family for a nice, beach vacation!!! I couldn't give it a five star as there was some area that looked old to guess it's part of the charm of this hotel.

This place is amazing and exceeded every expectation. We were in San Diego for our summer vacation,…read morePride, and my 50th birthday, and decided to kick off the trip with two days and one night at the Hotel del Coronado, or "The Del." The Del opened in 1888 and is one of the most famous hotels in the country. You have even most likely seen it in TV and movies. It is definitely a luxury resort in every aspect, and I have heard it referred to as the birthplace of the American beach vacation. We arrived a little early on Tuesday and were able to check in and get settled. I had noted on the reservation that we were celebrating my 50th birthday and had booked a King room in The Views. The property has several different areas to stay, including the historic Victorian building. At check in, we were upgraded to a King ocean view room, which was an amazing surprise. Between my birthday and Hilton Honors Diamond status, I was incredibly grateful for the complimentary upgrade, especially at a historic property like this. I don't think that is too common as they are based on availability. The room was beautiful and I enjoyed the layout and amenities. We opened the patio door and let the fresh ocean breeze fill the room many times during the stay. We enjoyed sitting on the patio looking over the grounds, beach, and Pacific Ocean and it was especially nice in the evening and again early the next morning with coffee. The bed was comfortable, the shower had plenty of hot water, and I really can't say enough good the room. We spent our first day exploring the property and enjoying the resort. Unfortunately, there was an advisory recommending that people should not swim in the ocean because of elevated pollution levels, but we were still able to enjoy some really nice beach time. That evening we had dinner at Veranda, which I reviewed separately. I definitely recommend making reservations for any of the restaurants well in advance, especially during busy times. We also enjoyed the shops and bars around the property. The next morning we spent some time exploring the history of The Del. You can basically do your own self guided tour by walking around, reading the plaques, and looking at the historic photographs throughout the property. I loved learning more about the hotel while actually staying there. We were able to get a late checkout, so we spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon exploring Coronado. We walked along Orange Avenue, checked out some of the shops, walked through town and the park, and eventually made our way to the beach. From there we walked along the beach back to the resort. After checking out, we took the ferry from Coronado over to downtown San Diego, which ended up being a perfect way to leave the island and continue our vacation. The Del is expensive (especially with meals and drinks), I am not going to sugarcoat that, but for us it was worth every penny. It was an amazing way to kick off our vacation and one of the highlights of the trip. I would absolutely recommend staying here, especially if you want a resort experience where you can enjoy the property, beach, and Coronado rather than focusing entirely on downtown San Diego. I could easily see myself spending a week here and would definitely come back as there is so much to do. Hands down Five Stars for location, service, food, amenities, and property. Exceptional stay.

Argument with staff about providing identification again to get our luggage and our room.

Staff says I check in a lot of people I don't remember you. After a little bit more discussion, she says your luggage is right over there confirming she did remember us. A little bit more petty bickering from Marriott employees than I'm used to and reluctance and resistance to take accountability for not providing up to Marriott standard service she gives us our room. It's not the room that we paid for which was a Bay Harbor view not a pool view. We are too tired and in a little bit in a hurry now to get to our restaurant reservation for the night My wife turns on the bathwater and it's coming out brown I go to see staff again.

We hadn't been to Coronado in years, so we were excited for a perfect summer overnight trip. We called in advance, requesting an early checkin and hoping for an upgrade. Historically, Bonvoy properties upgrade based on status and the fact that we have a Bonvoy credit card We arrived at the hotel and there was commotion at the valet. My husband ended up needing to move our car himself a few times as they were understaffed. We asked for a bellman and no one was available. They offered us a luggage cart so my husband unloaded our luggage. Odd start to the trip. Upon checkin, our rooms weren't ready and we were informed that the hotel is at 98% capacity so no upgrades would be honored. We asked if there was any way to have a room with a view of the water or above the ground floor, and the front desk clerk stated because we booked a room with points, they wouldn't be able to. I could tell the woman was not one worth arguing with just based on her demeanor. I was truly insulted. We have been loyal Bonvoy members for over a decade. We earned a points stay based on our loyalty. If anyone deserved an upgrade, it was a Bonvoy member using points. Later, we received our room keys and our rooms were horrible. They faced motorhomes and were very dark, on the first floor. We shared that we were only there for one night, and would like a room with a different view as the motorhome situation was really killing the vacation vibe. The woman (different woman than who initially checked us in) said if we pay $50 they can give us an ocean view. Hmmm, so they were at 98% capacity... but if we paid $50 we could be upgraded? Again, I was not in the mood to argue after a 2 hour drive, taking care of a baby, etc. We moved into our new rooms. The view was better (than the motor home), but honestly the room were disappointing and very dark. The property itself looked tired. They were very focused on selling timeshares. The pool was PACKED. There weren't enough servers. No one even asked us if we would like drinks or snacks. The towels were provided through a kiosk operated with our room key. Honestly, for a Marriott property, they were really pushing it... I have stayed at Courtyard Inns with better service. To top it off, as we were preparing to leave (about 14 hours after checking in), we called to ask for plastic bags for our wet swimsuits and were informed no one was working yet, so we would need to wait. I have stayed at many Bonvoy properties: some that were more luxurious, others for business, and others that were standard... none have had service this disappointing.

You pay for the location and that is about it. The main lobby was super cute. We were very excited to stay here. But it took a turn when we were shown our room. The smell was so bad you could smell it a few feet outside of our door. We would wake up in the middle of the night because the smell woke us up. It smelled like mildew & mold so bad, on top of cigarettes and hospice. I went to call to ask for a new room and our phone didn't work. I moved the side bedroom table to see if it was plugged in and it was so dirty with bugs and lint balls. I didn't touch the phone again. I called from my cell phone to see about changing our room. She told me I could come the next day and take a look at other rooms that were available, but we were only there for one more night and we had plans with friends that day. The carpet is disgusting. The couch is so dirty. There were brown stains on the sheets of our bed. Every time the cleaning crew would come in, they would open every single window to the fullest to mask the smell. There's not a restaurant here so you have to go get your food and bring it in. There were dead bugs in the utensil drawers. So we used plastic utensils, and paper plates our whole trip. Our room looked nothing like the lobby. A motel 8 would've been better. Even the pool is sad. We were going to cancel our stay and book somewhere else, but we booked through Expedia and it's a nightmare trying to get a refund through them. Otherwise, we would've left after the first day. When leaving a manager pulled me aside and said he was going to comp one day resort fee for us because of the smell. He didn't have to do that, but it was nice of him. We will never be back unless they do a serious update. So sad because the location is killer!

It was so mellow and enjoyable, especially during such a busy Nascar weekend. The breakfast area was beautiful. There was a pretty good spread ranging from an omelette bar to parfaits and baked goods. I look forward to returning. It was such a fun vibe.

They asked us to drive and stay here with them here at the Best Western Plus. I tried to convince them to go to a more upscale hotel, but they were determined to stay here, as they have been doing for years. My dad is a retired officer in the military, and he loves to be close to the base. However, while the pictures on this Best Western site look decent, they don't reflect what the rooms are actually like. Our room was cramped, gloomy and dated and gave me claustrophobia. The sheets and towels were like sandpaper, and the room is shabby and dirty-looking. The only small window looked out into a dirty alley. This was the most depressing room ever! In order to open the bathroom (which was disgusting) you had to make sure the closet door was closed. Carpet was dingy and the bedding was cheap and scratchy. The blanket was 100 years old and the bedspread was like an old shower curtain. There was ZERO natural light and the room stunk of musty, damp air from a loud swamp cooler. The ice machine close to our room was loud and people used it all night. The amenities were non-existent (not even bottles of water, so bring your own). The faucet handles barely worked in the bathroom sink, and there was no hot water. The WiFi is terrible and there are no modern charging ports to use. Housekeeping doesn't replace the linens or even come in to make the bed like a normal resort, unless you request it. What's the point of going away to relax if you have to clean your own room??
