    View from wedding ceremony
    Christine S.

    Came here for a wedding weekend and it was a blast. The property sits right on the bay, so everything feels calm, open, and a little removed from the crowds. The welcome party was on the terrace at sunset, with a self serve taco bar catered by the hotel. The ceremony itself was set up along the bay, and you really can't go wrong with that backdrop. We also did a farewell brunch cruise that left directly from the property, which was such a fun way to wrap up the weekend. Food across the board was great. The grounds are nice too. There's a big pool area with palm trees, a marina with boats and little pathways to walk around, and plenty of spots to just sit and hang out. Only thing to note, it's a bit removed from the main Coronado area, so if you want to explore restaurants, shops, or the beach more easily, having a car definitely helps. You can Uber, but it's not the most convenient for going back and forth a lot, and our Ubers and Lyfts added up quickly. And pick up was pretty challenging. Perfect spot for a wedding or a relaxing getaway.

    We picked this hotel as it was part of our Amex benefits. We arrived late but check in was easy and were able to get upgraded. The property is really quiet compared to the Del, which was nice. Between each building is a garden and we were by nectar which had citrus fruit growing that the hotel uses. The gates on the balcony have large gaps so be mindful if you have pets or children. The views and beach were ok (compared to the Del). There is a walkable underground tunnel that will take you to the silver strand beach. The parking was probably the biggest pain. They use a third party program and you have to scan the QR code everyday (if you are leaving/returning to the property). There's no one at the parking station to help, only a QR code and number to text if you get stuck.

    Had an amazing stay here during easter week. Nice, clean & quiet. Our room balcony was perfectly facing sunset, really beautiful to watch. Silver strand beach is just across the street, beautiful and not crowded. Few restaurant selections but they were all good! Crown landing was our fave. They had easter egg hunt for kids separated by age group and also with easter bunny photo op. Staffs are really helpful & friendly! If i remember her name right, one of them is Jade. Already planning our stay back here! Will def come back here.

    My family recently stayed at this hotel with our dog. We love that it is dog and family friendly! The customer service was great at the front desk and hotel restaurant. We had drinks, calamari, short rib flatbread, and fish and chips. I would go back to the hotel just to eat here! The food service, presentation, and taste was amazing. This was the bar/restaurant area that had a patio with a view that looked out to the water. We enjoyed the location and had a car which was helpful because the shuttle only takes you by Hotel Del Coronado but not to the ferry landing. The rooms themselves are okay and fairly big but the window was dirty with no screen and our neighbors were loud.

    Breakfast burrito

    This review is only for the Marketplace located adjacent to the Front Desk where they open at 6 am for pastries and coffee, tea, etc. if you want a hot breakfast item, service starts at 6:30 am. Ordered the Breakfast burrito and it was really good with the right portioning of ingredients which included a creamy avocado mash. Highly recommend this if you are wanting a hot breakfast item.

    Great location and near downtown. Staff is great and very friendly. The place has everything you need for a gathering and the restaurants and bar area are very ideal. We all went poolside and enjoyed some adult linarions. We loved the sunset cruise that was offered during our stay.

    The staff were friendly, accommodating and the resort has enough activities to stay on the property. Upon arrival we were offered their pink lemonade. Additionally the room was clean and perfect. Rick went above and beyond for us at the front desk to give us the best options for our room upgrade. In the room, robes are provided. Free water bottles in the mini fridge, keurig coffee pots in the room and ice down the hall. Free WiFi on the entire property. Granted we have the AMEX platinum and we're given a $100 resort credit as well as a free room upgrade as from having the credit card. Aside from the credit card perks, it was still a very comfortable stay. 4 different places to eat on the property- I dined from 3 of the 4 eateries they had. See my specific yelp posts for each of these restaurants. The pool is staffed with someone at the front at the towel desk even in the evening. There is a free shuttle to downtown Coronado where all the restaurants and hotel Del Coronado is. I would come here again and recommend it for anyone looking to spend some time on Coronado.

    Salmon
    Kyle V.

    Fantastic place! It was very empty when we went which is great. The Brussels sprouts were amazing and the clam chowder soup was well seasoned. We also had the salmon entree which had an incredible apricot glaze and farro. The atmosphere is a little plain, but you are close to the docks.

    Poop on porch

    Has been a terrible experience. at first they offered us to a room that was a view to the bay and that you had to making it have seagull activity and seagull poop. Knee was a king size bed in the new room. We have now to standard size beds with a pool view. This morning they had message us saying our check was not on which we had requested and was approved for a late checkout at 4 PM and now they had locked us out of our room receiving our key cards but also on the resort restaurants not that good on that would have to wait for a long time at one of the restaurants took them over 50 minutes to bring out fries and fried calamari ridiculous. And pool food was good and a little bit of a long wait, which is normal.

    Took my husband here for his "big" birthday and splurged on Sunset Suite. Beautiful hotel, nice bay view, spacious room, wonderful staff, great places to eat and drink on property and free shuttle service to Coronado Island which was a plus!!!!!

    Great place to stay and the employees are amazing really good place for kids too. We didn't met one staff member that was below par great job

    Review of the banquet side... of the wedding venue and service only: 2.5-3stars Large, spacious and beautiful venue. Their IG boasted their amazing food (they were 2nd place winner of a taco tko contest) so I was looking forward in tasting their food. Because of the rain, the wedding ceremony was moved indoor; staff was able to quickly accommodate the bride/groom but everyone seem to be in a frenzy in getting everything set up. Service was delayed; perhaps they are not used to large event and timing? Maybe it's a California thing?- I heard people are more laid back and slow about things - no rushing. At one point in the ceremony, staff couldn't find the parents gifts. Ceremonial stuff was brought in and misplaced by staff- found later and given with speech toward end of ceremony. After the ceremony, we enter cocktail hour which wasn't fully set up. The bar and table stuff was still being set up. The bartenders were rude when guests asked about timing and what was being offered. I tried to take a pic of the menu (from bride) to see what us offer but can't see so I used my purse to take pic. Asked bartender what type of alcohol and brand is offer and they said they have everything but they don't. The signature drinks weren't even ready (mid-party it was ready). Cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres were late and limited. Seems like majority of guests were starving because we all position near the door where they come out. They were limited and came out mid to end of the cocktail hour. At times they skip around to try to get to the other side of the room to feed others as most congregate toward the front. Not all were hot either; as if it was precooked and held in a steam warmer and then served to us. Bar also closed before end; assume they moving into the reception room. When entering reception room; we can see an empty area where the bar should be. Bar didn't arrive until 2hrs afterward... probably at the bride/groom's requests so that everyone is seated for the speeches and dances. The bar had limited alcohol available; mostly sodas and such. The servers did come around the room with some wine to pour for the speeches but offer nothing else. They also didn't replenish our water glasses and then halfway through the party, they removed all the water glasses. Was pretty thirsty toward the end and had to ask bartender for sodas since our water glasses were gone. There was a mix up with the fog machine (cord was too short?). Staff was trying to set it up fot the bride/groom's first dance. I noticed a few other service related stuff as I was in the business myself so I tend to notice service related. Not many staff and only in the room when they are serving food (probably short handed). Food: quality and taste was okay nothing amazing. Main entree look messy in presentation (all over the place). Veggies were bland and needed more seasoning. Food in general all night from cocktail hour to reception weren't that hot. Perhaps, the kitchen is pretty far away from the reception room. Everything looks beautiful but service and food wasn't all that great. Was decent, disorganized and food not hot. I wasn't impressed. I also heard from other guests that they weren't impressed either and that the bartenders were rude. No one else got water refill during the event as the staff wasn't in the room unless necessary. Perhaps they thought the table was empty?- but my table still had people sitting there and my purse was next to my water glass when I got up to dance.

    From the moment we arrived and Nick checked us in there was a chill yet professional vibe. Updated rooms and common areas. Clean pool deck with excellent drink and food service choices. Best of all was the dining quality and service from staffers in Dining room and bar area inside and outside. Liked that was a frequent shuttle to Hotel Del Coronado and ferry to downtown and we didn't end up wanting to leave for 4 days three nights. Watched football at the bar... ooh the composite BIG screen was having a problem with one screen segment so we watched at bartop. Breakfast was perfect and dinner simple steak frites cooked perfectly and served promptly with excellent wines by the glass. Bars inside and outside had a robust selection of no additive tequilas like Fortaleza and G4. Would go back for a long weekend in a heartbeat. Views a plenty from every window and room plus dog friendly. Boats and bikes for rent.

    Ask the Community - Loews Coronado Bay

    Can infants go in the pool?

    Yes

    Is your hotel pet friendly?

    Loews Loves Pets! They will give you a poop bag, water bowl, etc. There is a $100 pet fee.

    Is there self-parking available? If so, what is the fee?

    Yes, you're able to park right under your room in a parking garage or outside, but there is a daily fee.

    Is room service available at the moment?

    Does this hotel have restrictions on pets? (German Shepherd and a Boxer mix)

    Hi Hannah, We are proud to be pet friendly and will accept all pets smaller than a pony! There… 

    Most hotels have a fee that gets charged to your credit card when you check in for incidentals. What does this resort charge?

    I booked through hotwire.com I was charged for the room through the site, and I paid the fees at the hotel. Resort fee was $26, self parking was $31. They never charged me for an incidental fee or even mentioned it.

    I see that there are 3 pools, the photos show the deepest one is 4.5 ft, is this correct or is the adult pool any deeper? Thanks

    Yes the deepest is 4 1/2'.

    Do you have to take a shuttle to the beach?

    Yes. It's not walkable if you have towels, chairs or kids. Very frustrating. Also, there's only one shuttle and it's often occupied. You can't stay at the beach for sunset because that's when the shuttle stops running :/

    Three cheers for Sandra and for the Del!…read more Service has gone downhill since Hilton acquired it. But we love this location so much we suck it up now and then to have a little staycation in this magical place. At check in time there was a huge line: the computers had broken! We left our luggage and got a snack at ENO Market. And luckily by the time we finished, the line had cleared and they had brought over extra folks to work reception. We were lucky to get Sandra who normally works at the more upscale Shore House on property. She was very apologetic about the line and also saw that we have stayed here at several times. My sweetie is Hilton Gold and they were initially going to upgrade us from our basic The Views room to a "Victorian room with a view". No thank you! Del veterans know that the historic hotel rooms are small and with no privacy, because of the courtyard. So Sandra looked again and managed to get us a beautiful upgrade to the ocean view room in The Views, which was amazing. And when we woke up, we had a note under the door saying we also had complimentary buffet breakfast at the veranda because we have an American Express Hilton card... and we also got $100 off our meal the night before at Serea! So in short an amazing stay that was an incredible value for the Del. Sometimes we stay somewhere else "cheaper" in Coronado and then come out and hang here. But this was a super deal. The credit card is absolutely worth getting if you like the Del! (last pro tip: service at the hotel can be spotty and the food very expensive if you don't have a credit. ENO market and pizzeria is the best value on property. But if you get Brett as your server at Serea, and sit outside, you are still sure to have a magical time!)

    First, the good: The property has been nicely upgraded since I last stayed here in 1978…read more Now the rest. We checked in at 5pm. Thankfully the line was not long but the process takes a while so you can still wait 10 minutes even if you are first in line. The clerk was very nice but I could sense she was going to shaft us and sure enough we ended up in a tiny room that was down a long corridor with a view of nothing but rooftops. Probably one of the worst rooms in the hotel and maybe used to house the maids but now sold as a regular room to maximize revenue. So naturally we marched back to the front desk and thankfully found another clerk who could not have been more wonderful. Shocker, she was unable to find anything else that night (800 rooms, 5pm checkin, nada) but was able to convince the manager to let us upgrade the following day to a higher category room for $75/night (regularly $225). Of course this means packing up after one night and checking into a new room but we decided to do it because the first room was so mediocre. The next morning we stopped at the front desk at noon and were surprised and delighted to find the new room ready. It was like night and day - about 2x-3x larger with an elevated sitting area, a couch, and a sea view even though it was not ocean front. Well worth the upgrade fee though kind of sad that you have to pay extra just to get yourself removed from the worst ROH. Not that everything was perfect - the following morning we were awakened to children running wild in the room above ours (apparently a special turret room or something) - it was so bad that I had to knock on the door and was greeted by a displeased parent who apologized and said they were checking out. Bueno. Don't come to this hotel enjoy the water. The ocean is polluted by sewage from TJ and not recommended for bathing. The next day we arrived at the pool only to find it was closed for the day after a child had exploding diarrhea. So much for that. Someone asked management if they could use the special spa pool reserved for mucky mucks but was told that was off limits. On the plus side beach drink service was excellent, but $8 for a diet coke plus a mandatory service charge seems excessive. Similarly I think it was $25 for a cookie and a couple of soft drinks at the lobby snack shop. I was tempted to buy a yogurt parfait but I could not justify it as the cups were only half filled. It is one thing to gouge customers, quite another to cheapen the product. For those who want to save $$ there is a chipotle across the street from the property where you can get large soft drinks (and return for free refills, as the cashier explained) for $3. If you plan to spend all your time at the resort, save yourself the parking gouge by taking a $31 rideshare to/ from the airport. Overall I can say that the staff was very nice, the bar area is fun and the food served at the hotel restaurants is excellent. However I do not plan to return as there are so many properties in San Diego that have nicer rooms, nicer pools and nicer beaches for a fraction of the price.

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!

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??
