The room was not what we expected it to be. VERY VERY TIRED, needs a deep clean and renovation. It was as I had stepped into a dive motel room in Tijuana. The only cute thing about it was the outdoor area and wallpaper. The beds were hard and pillows were flat. Floors were so dirty that my feet got black. The tiles were cracked and grout at one time was light in color. The bathroom vent was filthy and floor around the toilet dirty. The bathroom surrounded me with mirrors and I saw parts of me that spooked me while showering. The shower temperature wasnt unstable and got bursts of hot water onto

Pros: Location is decent. The beds seemed clean. The A/C worked great. The closet was the best feature which is sad. Guest service gets a freebie since social distancing. You basically walk in the office and grab your key. Nobody in sight. There is a direct line phone there but didnt work. They send you a text with details. The lady on the phone was nice enough, and tried to help with my questions.
Cons:The bathroom/shower looks like a rest stop bathroom. Extreme disrepair; the tile is an absolute sh*^show.The glass shower door opens up and collides with the toilet? Ok. Not sure how many times

Adorable, cute place...a little quirky. Small rooms but were clean and beds were comfortable enough. Just a quaint little motel property on Coronado Island, walking distance to restaurants, some cute shops, and to the San Diego ferry. Safe neighborhood which is good since parking is a little tough if you come back to the hotel late. I would stay here again. I had an unexpected and sudden family emergency which delayed our vacation by a day and the owner was super awesome allowing us to stay an extra day to make up for our missed day (we had to change rooms, but we were happy to be able to complete

What an amazing gem the El Rancho Motel in Coronado is! A super cute beachy vibe! My room was cozy & comfy and I loved the decor! And I even had a couch, coffee machine & mint microwave! I walked to a huge park and then to the cute shops. I also walked down to the shops & restaurants by the harbor. This place has everything I could ask for in a cute boutique hotel! Id definitely stay here again.
