Excellent

It was lovely. It would have been more helpful to have information about the logistics of the property, i.e. on staff on site etc. however, it did not overly impact our stay in any way. We would certainly stay again. Rooms are small, best for 1-2 people.
I at was nice and quiet place to stay. When a question arose the staff was able to assist me immediately.
Would stay here again in the future if I ever return to San Diego.

Very cute and Convenient
We loved the location! We are walkers, so walkable to both the Ferry Landing and shops /restaurants. Very happy with the DIY services. Easy access to towels, coffee, ect. Great water pressure in shower!!!
Our room was tiny, but patios are very nice.
El Rancho - The property is convenient and walkable to most of the tourist areas in Coronado
The staff was accessible but out of the way and went out of their way to ensure a smooth check-in, the rooms and motel is very personal. Having a old cottage feel but still updated
Will definitely stay again if in the area
Fantastic place to stay! Love the decor and the flamingo theme throughout the property. Staff was very attentive via text. Rooms were clean and spacious.
No issues with parking - did one night of street parking and one night in one of their spots.
This may very well be my favorite motel ever. The staff is top notch, extremely helpful, facilities are clean, and its an absolutely wonderful location.
A great little place to stay for a couple of nights. The only thing missing was a USB outlet to charge my phone. Other than that, everything was as advertised.
If you need very little out of your motel, this is the space to stay. Much better accommodation compared to people I was working with. I was able to do my work, eat meals and sleep comfortably with little worry. Highly recommend!
Was on a weekend trip to visit family and this place was perfect, had a key west vibe . Cute , comfortable and the customer service was great. Recommend and I would stay there again!
