The location is close to interstate five but totally quiet, conveniently located They even have QR codes on all the furniture around the pool to order from their coffee shop which is great! We will definitely stay here again."

"For all the motels at this end of Orange Ave it is the best. Quaint courtyard and lots outdoor seating. If you are a walker or rent bikes the 1.2 miles to the main Coronado beach area is a breeze. It’s a motel and you get all you can expect with some quirky charm included. Staff incredibly friendly and accommodating. Beds comfy. It’s an older property like most nearby but maintained and clean. Second stay and we will be back. "

"Laura at the front desk was great, made the check in process very smooth. Lots of available parking. The room itself definitely could use some updating, clean but dated and worn out. The blankets had noticeable faded spots and was worn thin in several places. As a places for only a one night stay it was sufficient and they allowed my two dogs without extra fees. I would stay again but only for a night or two. "
